Recent developments indicate that Solid Oxide Fuel Cells could potentially be operated in reverse mode under selected conditions without significant performance degradation. This has generated significant industrial and academic interest and reversible SOFC systems are being developed by several organizations. Their potential applications may range from small scale domestic systems to large scale industrial systems for electricity, heat and fuel production. These systems are also expected to help with grid balancing in the future as electricity production from the intermittent renewable energy sources is expected to increase. This paper will present the current status with the development of reversible SOFCs and their several potential applications.
