<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve electric generation efficiency by utilizing exhaust heat in an electric generator provided with a gas turbine engine and a solid electrolyte fuel battery. <P>SOLUTION: The electric generator is provided with the gas turbine engine GT and a solid electrolyte fuel battery FC integrally, and the heat exchanger 20 and the combustor 27 of the gas turbine engine GT are arranged on the axis L of a rotary section 33 comprising a compressor wheel 17 and a turbine wheel 18, and the heat exchanger 20 and the solid electrolyte fuel battery FC are arranged outside the space 34 formed between the turbine wheel 18 and the combustor 27 in a radial direction. Fuel consumption can be reduced by improving the electric generation efficiency of the electric generator by recovering the exhaust heat of the solid electrolyte fuel battery FC or the combustor 27, which is exhausted from the space 34 efficiently by means of the heat exchanger 20 and the solid electrolyte fuel battery FC by restraining the exhaust heat from escaping outside. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
