SOFC/TEG hybrid system
The main objective of the SOFTEG project is to combine two promising energy technologies in a micro Combined Heat and Power (ìCHP) system for residential use. Combining a thermo-electric generator (TEG) with a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell module (SOFC) raises the electric efficiency of the ìCHP system by more than 5%, a substantial improvement positioning the Danish SOFC ìCHP systems in a leading position. By increasing the electrical efficiency of a SOFC system by 5 percentage points, the yearly hours of operation can be increased about 5%. The increased hours of operation and higher efficiency reduce the pay back time of a SOFC system by 10%, as the kW price for TEGs is at the same level as the SOFC system target prices in year 2010.
