ABSTRACT:
An integrated power plant based on a molten carbonate type fuel cell and a gas turbine combined plant comprising a gas turbine, a steam turbine and a common generator driven by the gas turbine and the steam turbine is disclosed, where a reformer for a fuel gas to the anode of the fuel cell is heated through heat exchange with the cathode off-gas from the fuel cell to obtain the necessary heat for the reforming, and a portion of the anode off-gas from the fuel cell is combusted in a separate burner to form a CO.sub.2 recycle to the cathode, while most of the remaining anode off-gas is supplied to the gas turbine combustor. The existing gas turbine combined plant can be used, as it is, without any substantial modification, and the present fuel cell power generation plant can be simply added thereto as an auxiliary unit.
