Several factors such as the global energy supply security and the need for generating efficient and clean energy have increased the interest in the research related to alternative fuel and energy systems. Among these alternative systems, the biomass-fuelled integrated Direct Carbon Fuel Cell (DCFC) with solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC)/molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) systems have been identified as one of key energy technologies for the future since it combines the merits of renewable energy sources and carbon/hydrogen energy systems.The modelling of energy systems plays a crucial role in the estimation of the performance and selection of the configuration and the operation parameters of these systems. In the case of integrated DCFC - SOFC/MCFC systems, there are many aspects that should be considered for a complete and robust model. The lack of such a model for integrated DCFC - SOFC/MCFC and biomass systems in the literature have been the main motivation for this study.
