Abstract
The present paper describes the dynamic behavior of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) adopting the numerical modeling. The main topic is focused on fuel starvation occurring as a drawback of load-following operation. The fuel starvation can occur when load increases rapidly. The major factor in the fuel starvation outbreak was studied on several cases of the power output control with the fuel utilization factor and the cell operating temperature control schemes, respectively. They can contribute the fuel starvation prevention in terms of the cell temperature management that prevents the drastic current manipulation for the power output control.
