Performance evaluation of an integrated small-scale SOFC-biomass gasification power generation system

► We evaluate an integrated small-scale SOFC-biomass gasification power generation system through energy and exergy. ► We examine the effects of steam-to-biomass ratio, SOFC inlet stream temperatures, fuel utilization factor and anode off-gas recycle ration on system performance. ► The results show the optimal operating parameters and their effects on SOFC stack, gasifier and system performance.
