Abstract

Abstract:

Distributed cogeneration of heat and electricity using solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) is an important method in building a “clean, low-carbon, safe, and efficient” modern energy system to improve energy supply and ensure energy consumption security. Hydrogen is the most important and most suitable fuel for SOFC. However, the application of SOFC in distributed cogeneration scenario is limited by the challenges in hydrogen storage and transportation technology, which has high cost and significant safety hazards. Using liquid methanol as a hydrogen storage carrier for on-site reforming to produce hydrogen is expected to achieve a breakthrough in the hydrogen supply of SOFC in distributed cogeneration scenario. In this paper, the progress of methanol steam reforming reactor for SOFC at home and abroad are introduced. The hydrogen source supply mode is outlined. And the structure, function and heating mode of methanol steam reforming reactor, which is the core equipment for on-site hydrogen production through reforming, have been summarized. The operation parameters and structural parameters affecting the reforming performance of the reactor are analyzed. And the characteristics of the integrated system of reactor and SOFC are introduced. The future development directions of methanol steam reforming reactor for SOFC include the design of high-power methanol steam reforming reactor, the study of hydrogen production mechanism and the heat and mass transfer characteristics of high-power methanol steam reforming reactor, and the performance of using methanol steam reforming reactor to directly supply hydrogen for medium temperature solid oxide fuel cells to generate power.

Key words: fuel cell, chemical reactors, hydrogen, methanol steam reforming, distributed cogeneration technology
