This work is focused on the analysis of the integration of reversible Solid Oxide Cells (rSOCs) for power grid flexibility and renewable sources exploitation purposes. Firstly, the area with the highest mismatch between renewable generation and load in Italy has been identified, making sure that, from a technical point of view, the use of an rSOC system can prove to be advantageous. An experimental campaign on a 0.4 kW SOC short-stack was carried out, with the aim to replicate, by means of dedicated tests, the operating conditions of the larger scale SOC system designed to absorb the abovementioned misalignment.Technology-wise, the high potential of the rSOC for this application has been proven: the results show an efficiency of the system estimated to be over 55% in fuel cell mode, with a water conversion rate of 89%. Moreover, the designed system appears to fit perfectly into the real scenario, with an annual operation of 8700 hours.
