| Research Abstract |
In this study, solid oxide fuel cell co-generation system (SOFCCGS) integrated with electric vehicle (EV) charging station was proposed; the primary energy saving rate was evaluated in case the proposed system was considered to be installed at both a Japanese multifamily apartment and a cafeteria located in Hitachi campus, Ibaraki University. As the results, the expected primary energy saving rate exceeds 30% throughout the year when the proposed system is installed at the multifamily apartment. On the other hand, the expected primary energy saving rate exceeds 30% throughout the year when the proposed system is installed at the cafeteria. Therefore, it can be concluded that the proposed SOFC system can successfully combine electrical/thermal energy co-generation and electric vehicle charging while maintaining high energy efficiency and good matching to energy consumption patterns.
