Abstract

Till now we have discussed all other types of fuel cells ie their components performance and applications In this chapter the prime focus is on the solid oxide fuel cell SOFC technology its working principle components and configurations Baur and Preis 1937 presented the concept of largescale SOFC for stationary applications The tubular design of SOFC technology developed by Siemens Westinghouse is running successfully whereas the planar design has also achieved higher volumetric power densities The following sections deal with the basics of SOFC technology followed by the most commonly used designs
