Abstract
Reversible Solid Oxide Cells (Re-SOC) is an electrochemical device capable to operate efficiently in both fuel cell and electrolysis modes. This unique characteristic besides to guarantee multiple benefits such as fuel flexibility, insignificant emissions, affordability, etc., allows the device to stand out between current power and substance generation systems.
However, to introduce innovative technologies into industrial and consumer environments it is necessary that essential requirements in Regulations and the associated technical specifications in Codes and Standards (RCS) are satisfied. In the case of Solid Oxide Cell and Hydrogen Technologies, these have centred on:
• Safety standard
• Technical specifications
The main objective of my thesis has been to develop and test uniform and industry wide test procedures for high temperature solid oxide cells/stacks in order to beef up the extent of knowledge and satisfy the requirements above requested. The lack of these procedures is considered as one of the final steps necessary towards the acceleration of the development and the market penetration of hydrogen and fuel cell (H2&FC) energy systems in Europe and the world.
The work addresses safety aspects strictly connected with industrial practices and the International Electro technical Commission (IEC). Many of the results obtained during the entire doctoral work have been considered fundamental in the development of the International Standard "IEC 62282-8".
