| Abstract | The MCFC seems a valid alternative to the traditional plant. MCFC power plants are prime candidates for the utilization of fossil based fuels to generate high efficiency ultra clean power. Largescale commercialization, especially in the distributed generation and cogeneration market, remains a possibility. However, fuel cells are considerably more expensive than comparable conventional technologies and therefore a careful analysis of economics must be taken. In general, the use of a fuel cell at this facility would not be economically feasible at this time. But, a parametric study was conducted to determine scenarios including variation in electric and natural gas rates along with reduced installation costs. |
