What is BS EN IEC 62282‑7‑2 about? 
BS EN IEC 62282‑7‑2 is a part of European standard which 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.
BS EN IEC 62282‑7‑2 is 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 can substitute selected test methods of BS EN IEC 62282‑7‑2 with equivalent test methods for solid oxide cell (SOC) operation for energy storage purposes, operated in reverse or reversible mode.
Note: BS EN IEC 62282‑7‑2 is not applicable to small button cells that are designed for SOFC material testing and provide no practical means of fuel utilization measurement.
Who is BS EN IEC 62282‑7‑2 for?
BS EN IEC 62282‑7‑2 on fuel cell technologies is useful for:
- Manufactures and suppliers of fuel cell such as solid oxide fuel cell
- Companies dealing with solid oxide fuel cell
Why should you use BS EN IEC 62282‑7‑2?
Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is an energy conversion device which helps in producing electricity by electrochemically combining a fuel and an oxidant on all parts of an ionic conducting oxide electrolyte.
SOFCs have a broad range of geometry and size which relates in general like current collectors and gas manifolds are unique to each cell or stack which are often incorporated into a cell or stack to form one integrated unit. They tend to have a significant effect on the power generation of the cell or stack.
BS EN IEC 62282‑7‑2 specifies test methods for a single cell and stack, which generate the electricity in the generation systems using Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC).
BS EN IEC 62282‑7‑2 provides you with extensive guidance on testing, safety protection, control over various assembly units, which helps standardize the performance test for solid oxide fuel cells.
What’s changed since the last update?
