The poly-generation plant was developed in the framework of the FP7 EU-funded project SOFCOM (www.sofcom.eu), which consists of a fuel-cell based polygeneration plant with CO2 capture and re-use. CO2 is recovered from the anode exhaust of the SOFC (after oxy-combustion, cooling and water condensation) and the Carbon is fixed in the form of micro-algae in a tubular photo-bioreactor.This work focuses on the dynamic operation of the SOFC module running on steam-reformed biogas. Both steady state and dynamic operation of the fuel cell stack and the related Balance-of-Plant (BoP) has been modelled in order to simulate the thermal behaviour and performance of the system. The model was validated against experimental data gathered during the operation of the SOFCOM proof-of-concept showing good agreement with the experimental data.The validated model has been used to further investigate on the harsh off-design operation of the proof-of-concept. Specific operating conditions have been simulated to study (i) the impact of a possible malfunction of the coolant air regulation system, (ii) the stack performance under different degrees of direct internal reforming (which could be also connected to loss of catalytic activity of the external steam reformer) and, finally, (iii) the influence of a sudden current load change. Simulation results provide guidelines for an improved design of the control system of the plant, highlighting safe working conditions and means to maximize system efficiency. Show less
