Reversible solid oxide cells(rSOCs) are an enabling energy storage/production technology for a dynamic grid environment. Reversible operation requires strong working knowledge of fuel cell (SOFC) and electrolyzer (SOEC). Performance degradation of SOECs has been observed; however, the details of physical processes related to the performance degradation remain unknown. Multiphysics simulations were performed to investigate the performance degradation of solid oxide electrolysis cells under various working conditions.
