Performance Analysis of a Retrofitted Reversible Solid Oxide Cell and a Combined Cycle Gas Turbine: An assessment of exergy efficiencies, greenhouse gas emissions, and gross profits.

The vast amounts of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, surging gas prices, and increasing proportion of intermittent energy sources force the energy sector to structurally modify the energy system. The reversible Solid Oxide Cell (rSOC) is considered to be part of the solution due to its high efficiency, good scalability, and ability to balance the...

The Energy Transition and Policy Options for the Need of Flexibility: A Case Study of CCGT Generation in Germany

National policies that seek to stimulate the energy transition require attention with the requirement for generation sources that can compensate for moments when wind and solar plants are not available. Electricity supply needs to adjust to demand in real-time, at least until energy storage becomes commercially viable, otherwise the energy...
