IEC/TS 62282-8-101 Energy storage systems using fuel cell modules in reverse mode – Solid oxide single cell and stack performance including reversing operation

This part of IEC 62282-8, addresses Solid Oxide Cell (SOC) cell/stack assembly unit(s). It provides for testing systems, instruments and measuring methods to test the performance of SOC cell/stack assembly units for energy storage purposes. It assesses performance in fuel cell mode, in electrolysis mode and/or in reversible, or regenerative, operation. Note: in the context of this International Standard, the term “reversible” does not refer to the thermodynamic meaning of an ideal process. It is common practice in the fuel cell community to call the operation mode of a solid oxide cell that alternates between fuel cell mode and electrolysis mode “reversible”. This international standard is to be used for data exchanges in commercial transactions between cell/stack manufacturers and system developers or for acquiring data on a cell or stack in order to estimate the performance of a system based on it. Users of this international standard may selectively execute test items suitable for their purposes from those described in this international standard.
