Design of a SOFC Single Cell Test Device

The electrical performance of single cell of anode-supported planar solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) received much concern. In this paper, measurement principle, design method and experimental processes of the electrical performance test device for SOFC single cell were introduced. The fluid system of the device consisted of flowmeters, valves, tubes, furnace, etc. The measurement system of the device consisted of digital direct current voltage meter, chromatography work station, and industrial computer, etc. The operator could aquire the test data by the electronic load and work station operation software in the industrial computer.
