Performance of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) can be enhanced by converting thermal energy of its high temperature exhaust gas to mechanical power using a micro gas turbine (MGT). A MGT plays also an important role to pressurize and warm up inlet gas streams of the SOFC. In this study, the influence of performance characteristics of the tubular SOFC on the hybrid power system is discussed. For this purpose, detailed heat and mass transfer with reforming and electrochemical reactions in the SOFC are mathematically modeled, and their results are reflected to the performance analysis. The analysis target is 220kWe SOFC/MGT hybrid system based on the tubular SOFC developed by Siemens-Westinghouse. Special attention is paid to the ohmic losses in the tubular SOFC counting not only current flow in radial direction, but also current flow in circumferential direction through the anode and cathode.

Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ)-based micro tubular SOFC single cells were fabricated by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) process. Stable slurries for the EPD process were prepared by adding phosphate ester (PE) as a dispersant in order to control the pH, conductivity, and zeta-potential. NiO-YSZ anode support, NiO-YSZ anode functional layer (AFL), and YSZ electrolyte were consecutively deposited on a graphite rod using the EPD process; materials were then co-sintered at $1400^{\circ}C$ for 4 h. The thickness of the deposited layer increased with increasing of the applied voltage and the deposition time. A YSZ-based micro tubular single cell fabricated by the EPD process exhibited a maximum power density of $0.3W/cm^2$ at $750^{\circ}C$.

In-situ micro-channeled multi tubular solid oxide fuel cell(SOFC) was fabricated using multi-pass extrusion process with out side diameter of 2.7 mm and active length of 5 mm that contained 61 individual cells. Cell materials used in this work were NiO-YSZ (50 : 50 vol.%), 8 mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia(8YSZ), $La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2}MnO_3(LSM)$ as anode, electrolyte, and cathode, respectively. The arrangement of each electrode and electrolyte layer in green bodies showed uniformity and integrity after extrusion and sintering. The XRD analysis confirmed that no reaction phases appeared and the microstructure of the electrolyte was fairly dense (relative density > 96%) after sintering.

본 연구에서는 마이크로 원통형 SOFC 지지체의 특성을 평가하기 위해 직경 3 mm의 연료극 지지체를 제조하여 지지체의 미세구조를 분석하고, 기계적 강도 및 가스투과도를 측정하였다. 다공성 연료극 지지체의 표면과 파단면의 미세구조를 분석하기 위해 SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope)을 이용하였다. 지지체의 가스투과도는 차압계를 이용하여 50, 100, 150 cc/min의 유량에서 측정하였으며, 기계적 강도는 만능 시험기를 이용하여 측정하였다. 마이크로 원통형 연료극 지지체의 기본적인 물성 평가 후 NiO-YSZ, YSZ, YSZ-LSM/LSM/LSCF로 구성된 마이크로 SOFC 단위전지를 제조하였으며, 반응온도와 연료 유량별로 성능평가를 수행하여 $800^{\circ}C$에서 $1095mW/cm^2$의 출력이 얻어짐을 확인하였다. 또한, 반응 온도에 따른 전기화학적 임피던스 특성평가를 통하여 온도가 높아질수록 전해질 이온전도도가 증가되어 ohmic 저항이 감소되고 그에 따라 마이크로 관형 SOFC 셀 성능이 증가함을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper presents the characterization of micro-tubular SOFCs using three different anode current collecting methods of inlet current collection (IC), both current collection (BC) and total current collection (TC). The maximum power densities of SOFCs at $750^{\circ}C$ using IC, BC and TC were 56 mW/$cm^2$ (0.43 V, 0.13 A/$cm^2$), 236 mW/$cm^2$ (0.43 V, 0.55 A/$cm^2$) and 261 mW/$cm^2$ (0.43 V, 0.61 A/$cm^2$) respectively. It was confirmed by impedance spectroscopy that both the polarization resistance and the ohmic resistance were dramatically increased at SOFC with IC.
