There has been particular interest in reversible solid oxide fuel cells (RSOFCs) in the energy sector for electricity, energy storage, grid stabilization and improvement to power plant system efficiency due to favorable thermodynamic efficiencies of high temperature steam electrolysis.
One option for cutting the costs is what's called a reversible fuel cell. Fuel cells simply separate different parts of a chemical reaction so that the electrons that are transferred during the reaction can be used as a source of electricity.
Reversible SOFC energy storage system demonstrated at Boeing Huntington Beach connected to the Southern California Edison grid. The fuel cell system (Figure 6), located inside the enclosed shipping container, consists of two solid oxide cell modules, a gas and air supply unit, exhaust gas treatment unit, steam generator, and DAQ cabinet.
Operation of solid oxide fuel cell stack in reversible mode for hydrogen generation for molten carbonate fuel cell as power-to-gas process
However, compared to other fuel cells that operate at low temperature (e.g., proton exchange membrane (PEM)), the TMI reversible system can use the waste thermal energy produced during electricity generation mode to achieve high systems efficiency in electrolyzer mode, ultimately lowering product life cycle costs for the combined system.
That is, combining the electrolyzer and the fuel cell functions in a unitized stack can help reduce the initial system cost, but the expected low round-trip efficiency usually outweighs this advantage, thus lowering the levelized cost of energy storage may not be easily achieved .
