Abstract: Water electrolysis can transform unstable renewable energy into the hydrogen energy and realize large-scale and seasonal energy storage, which is one of the key means to achieve the goal of “carbon neutralization” in China. In this paper, the technology of high temperature solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) was discussed and studied, and the working principle of the high temperature solid oxide electrolysis was introduced. According to its actual operation characteristics, the electrochemical model and thermodynamic model of electrolysis process were established, and the models were verified by comparing with the experimental data. Furthermore, the effects of current density and operating temperature on the high temperature solid oxide electrolysis were analyzed, and the thermodynamic analysis was conducted. The results show that the thermal integration and management of SOEC at high temperature will be conducive to reduce the power consumption. If the high-temperature electrolysis process is combined with other industrial processes and utilized the low-grade industrial waste heat, the overall efficiency of high-temperature solid oxide electrolysis is expected to be further improved.
