Dissertation concerned Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) which electrochemical reaction is used to generate heat and electricity. The goal of this work was to develop procedures and numerical tools for optimizing the construction and lifetime of the SOFC stack. The power of SOFC stack can be customized by changing the number of fuel cells. In the work, definition of a scientific problem, which supports the main aim of research, was preceded by literature review. Then solution methods or optimization procedures were proposed.
