Highlights
• A new power generation system with carbon capture using ITM is proposed.

• An ITM was applied to a SOFC/GTCC triple combined cycle to use oxy-

combustion.

• Two layout options were compared, and a parametric study was done using the
better option.

• The proposed system was compared with ASU-driven oxy-combustion and post-
combustion systems.

• The proposed system had considerably higher net efficiency than the other two
systems.

Carbon capture and storage processes are being researched to reduce carbon dioxide
emissions from power plants. This paper proposes a new system that applies an ion transport
membrane (ITM) to a triple combined cycle, which includes the gas turbine combined cycle
and a solid oxide fuel cell. Two systems which differ in the method of utilization of the fluid
that is separated by the ion transport membrane were compared. Then, the better system was
determined, and its performance characteristics were analyzed in detail. The operating
temperature of the fuel cell and the pressure ratio of the compressor were varied within the
operating conditions of the ITM as the main design variables. The performance of the
proposed system was compared with that of a post-combustion system and other oxy-fuel
combustion capture systems. The proposed system had 1.70% and 4.0%p higher power and
efficiency than the post-combustion capture system, respectively. Furthermore, the purity of
the carbon dioxide captured from the proposed system was 97.4%, which is 9.1%p higher than
that of the semi-closed cycle oxy-fuel combustion system, while the efficiency was 7.8%p
higher.
