Abstract

Three primary systems are modeled in the 0-Dimensional model; a hybrid microturbinegenerator, a molten carbonate fuel cell and a shell-and-tube heat exchanger. The model isanalyzed through placing a PID controller on the power generation module of the hybridmicroturbine. As the power is increased, the speed of the turbine shaft decreases; this drivesthe compressor and turbine maps. Pressure is found from performance mapping andthrough isentropic relationships, temperature is determined. The temperature responses ofthe shell-and-tube heat exchanger and with the fuel cell are derived from the conservation ofenergy equation. The temperature responses throughout the three primary systems areanalyzed for microturbine power ramping from 0 – 30 kW at six different time intervals.
