This paper investigates the thermodynamic potential of the integrated Solid Oxide Fuel Cell-
Gas Turbine technology for medium and large scale electric power production. After detailed
description of the adopted calculation model, the performances of a variety of plant
configurations are presented. The obtained results show the possibility of achieving very
high efficiencies with pressurized SOFC-gas turbine cycles with heat recovery bottoming
cycles: net LHV efficiencies exceeding 70% with almost zero-NOx emissions.
