    Abstract: A power system for an industrial facility includes a hybrid solid oxide fuel cell (HSOFC) system. The HSOFC system is coupled to at least one DC load and to at least one AC load. The at least one DC load defines a DC power demand value and the at least one AC load defines an AC power demand value. The DC power demand value and the AC power demand value define a power demand ratio. The HSOFC system is configured to generate DC power and generate AC power with a power generation ratio substantially complementary to the power demand ratio.

    Abstract: A power system includes a first power asset include a first power source and a first power controller. The first power controller includes a first filter configured to receive an error amount at a first frequency range and a second power controller includes a second filter configured to receive the error amount at a second frequency range. The first power controller is configured to instruct the first power source to produce a first amount of power, adjust the first amount of power based on the error amount received by the first filter until the error amount received is substantially zero. When the error amount received is substantially zero, the first power controller is configured to determine a first desired operating amount of power based on the first power source, and adjust the first amount of power based on the first desired operating amount of power.

    Abstract: The power generation system includes a fuel-cell subsystem having a fuel-cell configured to generate an electrical power. The power generation system further includes a power electronics subsystem electrically coupled to the fuel-cell subsystem and configured to process at least a portion of the electrical power generated by the fuel-cell subsystem. The power generation system also includes a first conduit fluidly coupled to the power electronics subsystem and configured to supply at least a portion of a fuel stream to the power electronics subsystem. The power electronics subsystem is configured to heat the portion of the fuel stream to form a pre-heated fuel stream. Moreover, power generation system includes a second conduit fluidly coupled to the power electronics subsystem and the fuel-cell subsystem and configured to supply the pre-heated fuel stream to the fuel-cell subsystem. The fuel-cell is configured to generate the electrical power using the pre-heated fuel stream.
