D3.6 Final Document of Test Protocols

Kurzfassung

The objective of the SOCTESQA project is to develop uniform and industry wide test procedures for high temperature solid oxide cells/stacks. These test procedures shall be applicable for different applications of energy systems integrating solid oxide cells/stacks, for instance SOFC-µCHP, SOFC-APU, SOEC for H2 production (power-to-gas) and combined SOFC/SOEC for electricity storage (power-to-gas-to-power). The present document is the final compilation of 11 generic test modules developed in this project. These generic test modules can be combined to form application-specific test programs. All these test modules have been validated through extensive laboratory tests of SOC stacks by the project consortium. These individual test modules and test programs are public and can be downloaded from the project website (www.soctesqa.eu). Moreover, the guidelines and recommendations of these test modules are being transferred to standards developing organisations. In this context, based on the output of this project, an international standard (IEC 62282-8-101: Energy storage systems using fuel cell modules in reverse mode - Test procedures for solid oxide single cell and stack performance including operation in reverse mode) is currently under preparation.
