    摘要: An object of the present invention is to provide a fuel cell power generation system that can attain a higher fuel utilization rate and can also attain higher power generation efficiency simultaneously. The fuel cell power generation system includes an oxide-ion-conducting first fuel cell 11 that performs reformation of a fuel containing hydrocarbon and power generation and a proton-conducting second fuel cell 12 that performs power generation by being supplied with hydrogen from the first fuel cell 11. The fuel utilization rate of the first fuel cell 11 can be set to 30% or lower, for example, and the fuel utilization rate of the second fuel cell 12 can be set to 70% or higher, for example. By adopting such a multi-stage configuration, it is possible to increase the power generation efficiency as a whole and to also attain a high fuel utilization rate simultaneously.

    摘要: The invention provides a cogeneration system capable of adjusting a heat-to-electric power ratio not only in an increasing direction, but also in a decreasing direction. The cogeneration system includes: a power generation device configured to supply electric power; a first heat exchanger configured to exchange heat between exhaust of the power generation device and water, so as to lower a temperature of the exhaust and obtain steam from the water; a reformer configured to generate a reformed gas by the steam reacting with a fuel; a second heat exchanger configured to cool the reformed gas generated by the reformer by heat exchanging; a reformed gas supply device configured to supply the reformed gas cooled by the second heat exchanger to the power generation device; a distributor configured to supply the steam to at least one of the reformer and a heat utilization device; and a control device configure to adjust a heat-to-electric power ratio by changing a supply destination of the steam in the distributor.
