Integrated energy systems are considered one of promising technologies to provide efficient, reliable and resilient power generation. The U.S. Department of Energy, National Energy Technology Laboratory is building an automated reformer-solid oxide fuel cell-gas turbine integrated energy system using a cyber-physical systems (CPS) approach, which exploits the advantage of both numerical model and physical system, as well as gapping the inaccessible technologies. Both the fuel reformer and the fuel cell stack are designed to be CPS components, of which the hardware representations are physically integrated with the gas turbine. A compact design is used with the consideration of future commercialization by placing all components inside of a pressure chamber, which is pressurized by the compressor discharge.
