A solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is an electrochemical conversion device that produces electricity directly from oxidizing a fuel. Fuel cells are characterized by their electrolyte material; the SOFC has a solid oxide or ceramic, electrolyte. Advantages of this class of fuel cells include high efficiency, long-term stability, fuel flexibility, low emissions, and relatively low cost. The largest disadvantage is the high operating temperature which results in longer start-up times and mechanical and chemical compatibility issues.

The objective of
the SOFC model is to maintain performance and operational integrity subject to load-following, efficiency maximization, and disturbances using advanced process control.

A solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is an electrochemical energy conversion device that produces electricity directly from oxidizing a fuel. Fuel cells are characterized by their charge transfer mechanism; the SOFC has a solid oxide electrode-electrolyte assembly. Advantages of this class of fuel cells include high efficiency, long-term stability, fuel flexibility, low emissions, and relatively lower catalyst cost. The largest challenge is preserving oxide integrity and fuel cell lifetime due to mechanical and chemical compatibility issues. Also, the high operating temperature can increase startup times but also provides benefits of internal reforming and waste heat which can be utilized downstream.

One of the solution challenges is that multiple time scales of a significantly different magnitude.  This creates a stiff problem unless steady-state or quasi-steady-state assumptions are considered.  For example, electrical changes occur in milli-seconds, chemical changes occur in a few seconds, and thermal changes occur in minutes or hours.

Model results are consistent with other research publications and experimental validation.
