Abstract

The study of start-up performance for a direct internal reforming molten carbonate fuel cell (DIR-MCFC) system is presented. Since a kW-class stack is assembled with an additional preheating design, the improvement of start-up behavior is conducted to find the proper operating strategy. For a cold start-up fuel cell system, both start-up delay and inverse response are strictly detected. When the optimum operating strategy is determined by solving the steady-state optimization algorithm subject to stack temperature constraint, the rapid system start-up as well as the maximum power output can be achieved simultaneously.
