Models for Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Systems

The book "Models for Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Systems" provides comprehensive methods for the optimal design of control and diagnostic strategies for solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) systems. It places particular emphasis on the use of modeling tools that offer an ideal balance between accuracy and computational effort. The methods presented combine various models within a hierarchical framework to minimize the experimental effort required for characterization and testing. These tools have proven to be highly effective for SOFC systems intended for both residential and transportation sectors. The book is aimed at scientists and engineers involved in the development of marketable SOFC systems, bringing together knowledge and experience from research and industry, with a focus on control and diagnostics as key factors for success and market penetration.
