Dynamic response characteristics of solid oxide cell stacks for seawater/ CO2 co-electrolysis under strong fluctuation electricity

This work focused on the intermittent characteristics of renewable energy and studied the dynamic response characteristics of seawater/CO 2 co-electrolysis on solid oxide cell stacks to produce syngas under strong fluctuation electricity conditions. The results showed that when using a strong fluctuating current density of 58.2 - 658.1 mA/cm 2 to simulate wind turbines, the power variation of the solid oxide cell stack was almost in line with the simulated wind turbine power variation curve. The theoretical conversion rate of solid oxide cell stack electrolysis products is linearly related to the current density. The measured H 2 O +CO 2 conversion rate is similar to the theoretical value, and the current variation hardly changes the H 2 /CO ratio in the exhaust gas. Therefore, solid oxide electrolysis cell stacks have strong adaptability to fluctuating electricity.
