An analysis of an integrated solid oxide fuel cell power system fed with natural gas including parametric study evaluating the effects of various parameters such as fuel utilization, temperature and pressure on the performance of the fuel cell is carried out based on first and second law of thermodynamics. Results show significant increase in the energy efficiency of fuel cell power system when the heat produced by the SOFC stack is used to preheat the air and fuel instead of rejecting it to the environment.
