Abstract: A solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) manifold and interconnect structure includes a manifold that has a dense and hermetic planar surface that is impervious to fuel gas used with the corresponding SOFC. A porous material includes a permeable planar surface that is in lateral contact with the planar surface of the manifold to form an electrode interconnect. The exposed surface of the junction between the dense and hermetic planar surface and the permeable planar surface is substantially flat and devoid of discontinuities, corners and seams. The dense and hermetic planar surface, the permeable planar surface and the exposed surface of the junction lay in a single common plane suitable for thermal deposition of electrode and electrolyte layers.

Abstract: The present application provides combined cycle fuel cell systems that include a fuel cell, such as a solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC), comprising an anode that generates a tail gas and a cathode that generates cathode exhaust. The system or plant may include adding fuel, such as processed or refined tail gas, to the inlet air stream of a reformer to heat the reformer. The system or plant may include removing water from the tail gas and recycling the removed water into an inlet fuel stream. The inlet air stream may be the cathode exhaust stream of the fuel cell, and the inlet fuel stream may be input hydrocarbon fuel that is directed to the reformer to produce hydrogen-rich reformate. The system or plant may direct some of the processed or refined tail gas to a bottoming cycle.
