Reversible fuel cell systems based on solid oxide cell (SOC) technology may become an efficient tool to cope with price volatility in the energy market, according to new research from Stanford. Through the proposed model, which mainly considered the electricity markets in Germany and Texas, the research group found that the reversible system may be competitive at current hydrogen prices, provided that there is sufficient variation in daily electricity prices. April 21, 2022 Emiliano BelliniResearchers at Stanford University in the United States and at the University of Mannheim in Germany have proposed using reversible fuel cells as backup power generators to cope with volatility in electricity markets and pronounced fluctuations in power prices.“Reversible fuel cells can be an economically viable source of backup electricity during periods of surging prices, such as Texas…
