ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) opportunities for a clean energy future. A SOFC is an electrochemical gadget that converts the compound vitality of a fuel and oxidant legitimately into electrical vitality. Their inborn attributes make them exceptionally reasonable to address the ecological, environmental change, and water concerns related to non-renewable energy-source-based electric power age. SOFC works at exceptionally high temperatures, the most noteworthy of all the power device types at around 800ºC to 1,000°C. They can have efficiencies of over 60% when changing over fuel to power; if the warmth they deliver is additionally tackled, their general effectiveness in changing over fuel to vitality can be over 80%. This chapter discusses the history of fuel cells, types of fuel cells, the SOFC hybrid energy system, and a simplified mathematical model of SOFC.
