Dynamic Characteristics of Auxiliary Equipment of SOFC/SOEC Hydrogen Peak Power Plant

The paper presents the 0D models of selected auxiliary equipment of Solid Oxide Fuel/Electrolysis Cell hydrogen peak power plant, i.e., hydrogen compressor, high temperature heat exchanger, and a water pump, which has been calibrated to the appropriate available experimental data. Based on a sensitivity analysis the guidelines for design and operation of these devices are determined for operation with a ceramic fuel cell, electrolyzer, and a tank for compressed hydrogen.
