Abstract

This study introduces a novel integration of steam gasification of plastic waste with solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) for sustainable electricity generation. Employing Aspen Plus® and Python, the research evaluates SOFC performance under different operational conditions. Key findings reveal that at a gasifier temperature of 1023 K, and with steam and CaO flow rates of 1.00 and 0.50 kmol/hr respectively, the SOFC's power output consistently increases with temperature. The power output rises from 0.639 to 1.157 w by raising the temperature from 1133 to 1293 K, while the output voltage dropping from 0.9141V to 0.793 V in this temperature range. Similarly for the syngas composition for the steam flow rate of 1.5kmol/hr, the power output of system is increased from0.637 to 1.151 W and voltage decreased from 0.910 to 0.788 by raising the SOFC temperature from 1133 to 1293K. Similar profiling is also noticed for the case of CaO flow rate of 0.5 kmol/hr. The study shows the viability of using plastic waste as a renewable energy source, contributing to the global shift towards sustainable energy solutions.
