Performance of a solid oxide fuel cell(SOFC)-gas turbine(GT) hybrid system is strongly influenced by the gas turbine characteristics. The operation of the SOFC-GT hybrid system at the maximum efficiency condition requires the development of a brand-new gas turbine which fits best for the required system performance. Another choice may be to select an off-the-shelf gas turbine available in market with its performance close to the required specifications of the hybrid system. In this study, performance of a SOFC-GT hybrid system with two different gas turbines (i.e., brand-new and off-the-shelf ones) is evaluated.
