Development and simulation of a highly integrated Solid Oxide Fuel Cell

Zusammenfassung / Abstract

The present work focuses on the development and investigation of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) with direct internal reformation of methane. To optimize their performance, key aspects for design, materials, and manufacturing are derived from the basic operational principles.

Together with the results of a detailed review on the current state of the art in the field of SOFCs design concepts they are used to develop a novel janiform configuration of an anode-supported Integrated Planar-SOFC (IP-SOFC) system.

Submodels for the physical phenomena of interest are set up and used in three-dimensional models in order to investigate the concept with the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method.
