Configuration and Operating Condition Design Analysis of SOFC Systems for Building Applications

241 p.Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2008.The future works that should be done based on this study include the experimental validation of the model, the incorporation of the energy storage device in the modeling of SOFC cogeneration systems, the environmental assessment of the system such as the air pollutant emission performance, the lifecycle assessment (LCA) of SOFC systems from manufacturing stage through the abolition stage and the faster execution time for the further elaboration of the optimization process and the incorporation of the stand-alone model into EnergyPlus building simulation program.U of I OnlyRestricted to the U of I community idenfinitely during batch ingest of legacy ETD
