Current-voltage characteristics of solid oxide and proton-conducting ceramic cell/stack assembly units
This document outlines a test method for determining the current-voltage (I-U) characteristics of solid oxide cells and proton-conducting ceramic cells and stacks, operating in either fuel cell mode or electrolysis mode. The primary objective is to establish a commonly accepted method for characterising the performance of such cells and stacks using polarisation curve measurements.
The primary objective of this method is to establish a widely accepted protocol for characterising the performance of such cells and stacks using polarisation curve measurements.
The application of this test method enables an objective evaluation of the performance of various cells and stacks, facilitating meaningful technology comparison. It serves as a benchmark measurement for qualifying a cell or stack in a given application. Furthermore, it may play a role in quality control and quality assurance of cell and stack assembly units.
This test method is intended for use by both the research community and industry. Its application extends to evaluating research and development advancements, establishing priorities in research and innvovation, encompassing cost objectives, developmental milestones, and technological benchmarks. Moreover, it empowers stakeholders to make informed decisions concerning technology selection.
