SOFC power generation systems generate electricity within a stack integrated device. The single power output of the SOFC stack is small, so if the SOFC power generation system needs to output high-power electric energy to the outside, a plurality of SOFC stacks need to be integrated together to form a stack integrated device. In the working process of the SOFC power generation system, cathode gas and cathode gas firstly rise in temperature to the reaction temperature through a preheater and a regenerator, then enter a galvanic pile integration device, undergo electrochemical reaction in the integration device, output electric energy to the outside, and reaction tail gas flows out of the galvanic pile integration device. Therefore, the stack integration device of the SOFC power generation system is the most central component of the power generation system.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the present disclosure provides a stack integration apparatus in a solid oxide fuel cell power generation system, including a hot box 1, a plurality of power generation modules 2, a reaction gas heat exchanger 3, and a main conductive member 4, the reaction gas heat exchanger 3 being for heat exchanging reaction gas supplied into each power generation module 2 and high temperature exhaust gas discharged from each power generation module 2; the power generation modules 2 are arranged in the hot box 1 and are respectively used for enabling the reactant gas to undergo electrochemical reaction to generate electric energy, and each power generation module 2 is electrically connected with the main conductive piece 4 so that the generated electric energy is collected and output through the main conductive piece 4; wherein the hot box 1 is used to maintain a temperature environment required for the electrochemical reaction of each power generation module 2.
The power generation device disclosed by the disclosure realizes high-power generation requirements by arranging a plurality of power generation modules 2 in the hot box 1, intensively supplying reaction gas through the reaction gas heat exchanger 3 and finally collecting and uniformly outputting electric energy generated by each power generation module 2.
Specifically, the pile-up integrated device of the present disclosure is composed of identical power generation modules 2 customized uniformly, and then the power generation power is improved by assembling a plurality of power generation modules 2 with the same specification, and because each power generation module 2 in the present disclosure is relatively independent, the setting mode is flexible, and can be single-layer arrangement or multi-layer arrangement, so that the power generation power of the pile-up integrated device in the solid oxide fuel cell power generation system of the present disclosure is not limited by the structure, and the power generation modules 2 with corresponding numbers can be flexibly arranged according to the actual requirements, and the power generation power range of the pile-up integrated device in the solid oxide fuel cell power generation system covers the power generation levels of hundred kilowatts, megawatts, hundred megawatts and the like.
In addition, the reaction gases required by each power generation module 2 in the present disclosure are all communicated with the main pipeline on the reaction gas heat exchanger 3 through respective pipelines, so that the gas paths of the reaction gases leading to each power generation module 2 can be controlled independently without being influenced by the gas paths of the reaction gases in other power generation modules 2, and the power generation power of the present disclosure can be further flexibly changed according to actual requirements.
In addition, in the present disclosure, only the corresponding pipelines are required to be provided for each power generation module 2, and then the gas distribution branches capable of supplying gas to the stack towers 21 in each power generation module 2 are provided on the pipelines, and all the stacks 211 in the stack towers 21 are uniformly supplied with gas through the gas distribution branches, so that it is not necessary to separately provide the gas distribution pipeline for each stack 211 in the stack towers 21 in the structure of the present disclosure, and therefore, on the premise of simplifying the structure of the device, on one hand, the installation workload of the stacks 211 is saved, and on the other hand, the risk of accidents of the stack integration device in the solid oxide fuel cell power generation system is also reduced.
In addition, since the present disclosure adopts a modularized design, on one hand, each power generation module 2 can be controlled individually, so that the stack integrated device in the solid oxide fuel cell power generation system can flexibly adjust the output power according to the external load demand, and the response speed is very fast with little delay. On the other hand, the modular design also facilitates maintenance. During operation of the SOFC power generation system, the stack 211 may be damaged and may need to be replaced. However, when the technical scheme of the present disclosure is adopted, by finding the power generation module 2 where the damaged stack 211 is located, the damaged power generation module 2 is replaced with a new power generation module 2, and the sofc power generation system can continue to operate. At this time, the power generation module 2 including the damaged stack 211 can be maintained separately outside the stack integration device in the solid oxide fuel cell power generation system, so that the maintenance efficiency of the SOFC power generation system is greatly improved by adopting this technical scheme.
Furthermore, the present disclosure is simple and efficient in design and installation.

Therefore, it is sufficient to develop a power generation module 2 for a certain type of stack 211. The power and voltage requirements of the SOFC power generation system can be met by determining the number of power generation modules 2 and the gas circuit and circuit connection mode. It can be seen that the present disclosure not only greatly reduces the development work of the power generation module 2 and shortens the development period, but also contributes to the improvement of the safety and economy of the power generation module 2 because of focusing on the development of one kind of power generation module 2. Accordingly, in the production and installation stages, the centralized production of the power generation modules 2 can be realized, and the power generation modules 2 are assembled together at the installation site of a pile integrated device in the solid oxide fuel cell power generation system, so that the working time and the workload of an engineering site are greatly saved, the engineering investment is obviously reduced, and the method is very suitable for a large-scale SOFC power generation system.
As is clear from the above, the power generation module 2 of the present disclosure includes only the stack 21, and necessary air supply and exhaust devices and power take-off devices, and auxiliary devices such as the reaction gas heat exchanger 3 are integrated at the system level. The effect that it brings is: the structure of the power generation module 2 is simplified, the function of the power generation module as a core component in a pile integrated device in a solid oxide fuel cell power generation system is highlighted, the structure is more convenient to improve, and conditions are provided for better electrochemical reaction of the internal pile 211; the reaction gas heat exchanger, the burner and the reformer are arranged on the system level, so that the integration level of the system is improved, the complexity of the system is reduced, the working stability of the system is improved, and the working efficiency of each component and the working efficiency of the system are improved; each power generation module 2 is independently arranged, so that the modular design of the system is facilitated, the installation is convenient, the design efficiency and the installation efficiency can be improved, the design and the installation time are shortened, and the maintenance is convenient; each power generation module 2 is independently arranged, so that the manufacturing cost of each power generation module 2 can be greatly reduced, the design, installation and maintenance costs are reduced, and the economical efficiency of the system is improved.

In the embodiment provided in the present disclosure, the number of the stack towers 21 in each power generation module 2 is equal to or less than 12, and the number of the electric stacks 211 in each stack tower 21 is equal to or less than 10.
