What is PD IEC/TS 62282-7-2 – Performance tests for SOFCs about?
PD IEC/TS 62282 series is a technical specification series that discusses test methods for fuel cell technologies.
PD IEC/TS 62282-7-2 is one of the parts of the IEC/TS 62282 series is which is a technical specification, that provides for SOFC cell/stack assembly units, testing systems, instruments, and measuring methods, and test methods to test the performance of SOFC cells and stacks.
Who is PD IEC/TS 62282-7-2 - Performance tests for SOFCs for?
PD IEC/TS 62282-7-2 on performance tests for SOFCs is useful for:
- Companies dealing with fuel cell technologies
- Cell/stack manufacturers
- System developers
- Manufacturers of electrochemical devices
- Manufacturers of fuel cells
- Entities involved in the design, maintenance, installation of fuel cell power systems
Why should you use PD IEC/TS 62282-7-2 - Performance tests for SOFCs?
A solid oxide fuel cell is an electrochemical conversion device that directly generates electricity by oxidizing a fuel. They have a broad range of geometry and size. As such, in general, peripherals like current collectors and gas manifolds are unique to each cell or stack and are often incorporated into a cell or stack to form one integrated unit.
PD IEC/TS 62282-7-2 therefore introduces as its subject “cell/stack assembly units,” which are defined as those units containing not only a cell or stack but also peripherals.
PD IEC/TS 62282-7-2 provides you with test methods for a single cell and stack that is to be employed in power generation systems using solid oxide fuel cells.
PD IEC/TS 62282-7-2 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 PD IEC/TS 62282-7-2 may selectively execute test items suitable for their purposes from those described in this technical specification.
Thus, PD IEC/TS 62282-7-2 is your guide on ensuring SOFCs play a positive role in the power generation characteristics of the cell or stack.
