Abstract

A novel hybrid combined cooling, heating, fuel cell-steam turbine power plant integrated with a liquefied natural gas process is introduced and analyzed. Precooling vapor compression refrigeration cycle of the liquefaction process is replaced by an absorption refrigeration system which the required hot utility of the cycle, is supplied by the power plant. Results show that the absorption refrigeration systems can be successfully replaced by precooling compression refrigeration cycles in the liquefaction processes. Also applying the absorption refrigeration system, decreases the required power in the process. Hybrid fuel cell power plants can be used for supplying the required power and heat duty in the designed liquefaction process. An integrated solid oxide fuel cell steam turbine power plant is designed and analyzed. The results show that the electrical and overall energy efficiency of the power plant is high. Also SOFC-ST system can provide the required heat duty in the absorption refrigeration system.
