Modeling of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs): An overview

In this paper, the authors present an overview for modeling of solid oxide fuel cells. Even though, a large amount of literature of SOFCs has been published in the last decade, most of them has focused on electrochemical characteristics such as cell components, new materials, reaction mechanisms, etc. The review of modeling for SOFCs helps to simulate and understand effects of changing loads, temperature, fuel and air supply, diffusion, and design algorithms and feedback loops to control these variables.
