High temperature solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) represent a promising technology to generate electric power on ships from a variety of renewable fuels with high efficiencies and no hazardous emissions. However, application in ships is still impeded by a number of challenges, such as low power density and high capital cost. A slow response to load transients is another challenges, which is typically a result of the conservative thermal management strategies used to ensure that excessive thermal stresses in the stack are avoided. Therefore, a reduced order SOFC stack model is developed in this work for model-based control. The model is subsequently verified with a high fidelity model developed in previous work. In addition, a preliminary framework for its use for model predictive SOFC control is provided. The reduced order model and control framework will be used in future work to optimise thermal management of SOFC stacks for improved transient response while respecting physical and operational constraints. 000010727 542__ $$fCC-BY 000010727 6531_ $$aSolid Oxide Fuel Cell 000010727 6531_ $$aTransient Simulation 000010727 6531_ $$aThermal Management 000010727 6531_ $$aReduced Order Model 000010727 6531_ $$aModel-based Control 000010727 7001_ $$avan Biert, L$$uDelft University of Technology 000010727 7001_ $$aSegovia Castillo, P$$uDelft University of Technology 000010727 7001_ $$aHaseltalab, A$$uDelft University of Technology 000010727 7001_ $$aNegenborn, R$$uDelft University of Technology 000010727 773__ $$tConference Proceedings of iSCSS 000010727 773__ $$jiSCSS 2022 000010727 85641 $$uhttps://www.imarest.org/events/category/categories/imarest-event/international-ship-control-systems-symposium-2022$$yConference website 000010727 8564_ $$95dbeeb9f-2583-421e-a58a-e6bec436b7ba$$s1155442$$uhttps://library.imarest.org/record/10727/files/10727.pdf 000010727 980__ $$aConference Proceedings
