Development of a Quasi 2-D Modeling of Tubular Solid-Oxide Fuel Cell for Real-Time Control.

This paper presents the modeling approach for a quasi-2-D tubular anode-supported solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC) for real-time control implementation. The proposed system considers a multidomain electrochemical, fluidic, and thermal dynamic modeling and it is experimentally validated against a SOFC real world implementation. Implicit iterative algebraic equations have been introduced and implemented in C language in order to have fast real-time execution. The methodology for implementing such an iterative solver is discussed in details and the results demonstrate practical feasibilities in advancing real-time control of SOFC [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
