Study of parametric effects on solid oxide fuel cell

Abstract

In this paper, the mathematical analysis of electrochemical model of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) system has been done for MATLAB/Simulink modeling. Furthermore, the possible mechanism of the parameter influences effects and their interrelationships are discussed comprehensively. To investigate the performance of SOFC, the V and I characteristics, power density, current density, etc., analyzed by the influence effect of the important parameters. For this investigation, various important parameters, e.g., reactants’ flow pressure, operating temperature, membrane resistance, etc., are considered. This study is very helpful to predict the performance of the SOFC.
