  • Abstract
    High-temperature solid-oxide fuel cells offer high conversion efficiency from heat to electricity. The exhaust from such systems is also attractive as a high-temperature heat source for a Stirling-cycle convertor. An economic and technical analysis is presented illuminating the prospects for adoption of such systems as domestic, distributed energy generators.
