  4. Abstract:
  5. The aim of this work is to analyze methane-fed internal reforming solid oxide fuel cell-gas turbine (IRSOFC-GT) power generation system based on the first and second law of thermodynamics. Exergy analysis is used to indicate the thermodynamic losses in each unit and to assess the work potentials of the streams of matter and of heat interactions. The system consists of a prereformer, a SOFC stack, a combustor, a turbine, a fuel compressor and air compressor, recuperators and a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG). A parametric study is also performed to evaluate the effect of various parameters such as fuel flow rate, air flow rate, temperature and pressure on system performance. © 2007 International Association for Hydrogen Energy
