Telecom companies worldwide are investigating the option of producing the power needed onsite with fuel cells, while staying grid-connected to use the grid, where available, as backup power in case of an emergency only. Among the available technical options, DC based backup power systems have had huge success in telecom markets, thanks to the higher efficiency than the AC power systems, because of fewer conversion cycles required for energy storage. The proposed work assesses a natural gas operated SOFCNa- NiCl2 battery hybrid system, both electronically and thermally integrated. A hybrid system combining a 0.5 kW SOFC and a 4.5 kW Na-NiCl2 has been experimentally evaluated.

Abstract
Telecom companies worldwide are investigating the option of producing the power needed onsite with fuel cells, while staying grid-connected to use the grid, where available, as backup power in case of an emergency only. Among the available technical options, DC based backup power systems have had huge success in telecom markets, thanks to the higher efficiency than the AC power systems, because of fewer conversion cycles required for energy storage. The proposed work assesses a natural gas operated SOFCNa- NiCl2 battery hybrid system, both electronically and thermally integrated. A hybrid system combining a 0.5 kW SOFC and a 4.5 kW Na-NiCl2 has been experimentally evaluated.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
