- The world's challenge is to determine a more efficient, economical and environmental-friendly energy source to compete and replace the ongoing conventional energy resources. Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) provide a highly efficient system to use divergent energy resources and have proved to provide the cleanest energy, least energy use, and lowest emissions. A techno-economic study is required to investigate the model design for SOFC-based micro-combined heat and power (m-CHP) systems for applications in terms of educational and commercial buildings. This work models and explores the optimized application of hydrogen gas-fueled SOFC-based m-CHP systems in educational buildings. Two educational departments' loads are presented and model of SOFC-based m-CHP system against the different electric power demands is performed, in order to provide a techno-economic assessment of the technology. For successful development of the technology, results are related to system rightsizing, operating strategies, thermal to electric ratios, and match between end-use, with an aim towards classifying the overall feasibility and essential application requirements.

- The structural and electrochemical properties of zinc based nano-composites anode materials with a composition of X0.25Ti0.5Zn0.70 (where X = Cu, Mn, Ag) have been investigated in this present study. The proposed Xo.zsTiousZno.70 oxide materials have been synthesized through sol-gel method. The doping effect of Cu, Mn, and Ag on TiZn oxides were analyzed in terms of electronic conduction and power density in hydrogen atmosphere at comparatively low temperature in the range of 650 degrees C. The crystal structure and surface morphology were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis techniques. The XRD patterns of composites depict that the average crystalline sizes lie in the range of 20-100 nm. Four -probe DC conductivity technique was used to measure the conductivity of the materials and maximum electrical conductivity of Ag0.25Ti0.05Zn0.70 oxide was found to be 7.81 S/cm at 650 degrees C. The band gap and absorption spectra were determined by ultra-violet visible (UV-Vis) and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques respectively. The maximum power density was achieved to be 354 mW/cm(2) at 650 degrees C by Ag0.25Ti0.05Zn0.70 oxide anode with SDC (electrolyte) and BSCF (conventional cathode) materials.
