Original Abstract Submitted
A fuel cell system includes: a gas turbine having a combustion chamber and a turbine; a hydrogen fuel cell configured to generate electrical energy from input air and input hydrogen; an air flow path for providing air from a source of fresh air as input air to the fuel cell and to the combustion chamber; and a closed hydrogen loop for providing hydrogen from a liquid or compressed hydrogen source to the fuel cell and to the combustion chamber. The system further includes: a hydrogen recirculation loop receiving hydrogen from the liquid or compressed hydrogen source and hydrogen used by the fuel cell to provide cooled used hydrogen, The hydrogen recirculation loop combines the cooled used hydrogen with hydrogen from the liquid or compressed hydrogen source to provide to the fuel cell as the input hydrogen.
