Fuel cell technologies - Part 7-2: Test methods - Single cell and stack performance tests for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) (IEC 62282-7-2:2021)

This part of IEC 62282 applies to SOFC cell/stack assembly units, testing systems,
instruments and measuring methods, and specifies test methods to test the performance of
SOFC cells and stacks.
This document is not applicable to small button cells that are designed for SOFC material
testing and provide no practical means of fuel utilization measurement.
This document is used based on the recommendation of the entity that provides the cell
performance specification or for acquiring data on a cell or stack in order to estimate the
performance of a system based on it. Users of this document can selectively execute test
items suitable for their purposes from those described in this document.
Users can substitute selected test methods of this document with equivalent test methods of
IEC 62282-8-101 for solid oxide cell (SOC) operation for energy storage purposes, operated
in reverse or reversible mode.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC
Publication(s)"). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
IEC 62282-7-2 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 105: Fuel cell technologies. It
is an International Standard.
This first edition cancels and replaces IEC TS 62282-7-2 published in 2014.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to
IEC TS 62282-7-2:2014:
a) users can substitute selected test methods of this document with equivalent test methods
of IEC 62282-8-101 for solid oxide cell (SOC) operation for energy storage purposes,
operated in reverse or reversible mode;
b) terms and definitions are aligned with the corresponding terms and definitions in
IEC 62282-8-101;
c) symbols are aligned with the corresponding symbols in IEC 62282-8-101.

INTRODUCTION
This part of IEC 62282 specifies test methods for a single cell and stack (denoted as
"cell/stack" hereafter) that is required in power generation systems using solid oxide fuel cells
(SOFCs).
SOFCs 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. In addition, they tend to have a significant effect on
the power generation characteristics of the cell or stack. This document 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.
