Abstract: A solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system involves phenomena that take place at different scales. The electrochemical active cell—a multicomposite structure that consists of different microscopic layers made of different materials—is thus at the center of a broader and complex energy system, whose efficient and durable performance much depends on several other integrated subsystems and auxiliaries which both provide reactants to the fuel cell and extract exhausts from the same. This is the reason energy analysis focuses on the overall plant behavior and not only on cell and stack performance. This chapter will review modeling tools and approaches for system performance evaluation.
