To develop a commercial model of a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC)-Micro Gas Turbine (MGT) hybrid system, Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Ltd. (MHPS) delivered the demonstration unit prototype to Kyushu University, which is now undergoing demonstration operation. This demonstration unit was delivered to the "Verification of a Smart Fuel Cell Society" in the Green Asia International Strategic Comprehensive Special Zone at Kyushu University. The demonstration is being conducted as a collaborative research project by Kyushu University and Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems (MHPS). This report describes the outline of the hybrid demonstration unit, its operational achievements and future plans.
