Abstract

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