Setup of an experimental test-bench for remote testing of solid oxide cells. Test-bench commissioning and test-protocols definition for the characterization of single cells for fuel cells applications

The present work aims at providing a user's guide for the correct utilization of an experimental test-bench for remote testing and characterization of single solid oxide cells. The test bench development has been financed as part of TeacHy project, an European MSc course. A specific software, Teachy, has been designed for this project, allowing students from every part of the world to be involved in remote experiment sections. The provided user's guide investigates instruments and physical connections as long as Teachy software operation. A standard test is analysed and explained, to provide a guide for future experiments. Finally, a simpler system has been implemented and presented in this work: despite the lower grade of complexity, it allows to better understand the development and management of the actual test rig.
