Abstract: One of the most promising technologies for stationary power applications is the Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell (MCFC). This is due to its high efficiency, low emissions and the medium–high operating temperature. This high temperature allows for hybridization with other power generation technologies where the bottoming cycle recovers part of the heat in the fuel cell exhaust stream, hence resulting in highly efficient hybrid systems. The current MCFC hybrid system designs use microturbines as bottoming cycle.
