Technical and Economic Analysis of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Energy Supply System
Combined with engineering exam-ples,the technical economy of the energy supply system with solid oxide fuel cell(SOFC)as the core device is analyzed.Calculated based on the price of the fuel cell at 8 × 104 yuan/kW,the payback period for equipment purchase cost is 25.1 years,and the project is not eco-nomically viable.When the price of the fuel cell drops to a reasonable level,calculated at 1 × 104 yuan/kW,the payback period for equipment purchase cost can be shortened to 11.1 years,and the project has certain e-conomy.For fuel cell energy supply systems,under the premise of relatively stable energy prices,the main fac-tor affecting the economy of the system is the price of fuel cells.
