Abstract: Reliability and durability are key criteria for solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) systems in order to gain a market acceptance and establish a positive reputation. To ensure SOFCs reach their reliability and durability targets, feedback regarding the stack degradation sources is required in order to balance the system operation for acceptable power supply; while maintaining longevity. Indeed, a compromise on one or both accounts may be required for many systems that will enter the field for the first time, since there are so many unknowns for the SOFC technologies. Systems including SOFC stacks are being designed and tested for small stationary power generators and large-scale plants, as well as for automotive auxiliary power and range extension systems. This ensures that appropriate contermeasures can be taken, thereby considerably extending lifetime of SOFC systems.
