Abstract

A hybrid powerplant can include a fuel cell cycle system configured to generate a first power using a fuel and an oxidizer. The powerplant can also include a supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) cycle system operatively connected to the fuel cell cycle to receive heat from the fuel cell cycle to cause the sCO2 cycle system to generate a second power.
