IEC 62282-8-301:2023  Fuel cell technologies -- Part 8-301: Energy storage systems using fuel cell modules in reverse mode -- Power-to-methane energy systems based on solid oxide cells including reversible operation -- Performance test methods

IEC 62282-8-301:2023 specifies performance test methods of power-to-methane systems based on solid oxide cells (SOCs). Water, CO2, and electricity are supplied to the system to produce methane and oxygen.This document is not intended to be applied to solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) cell/stack assembly units for power generation purposes only, since these are covered in IEC 62282-7-2. In addition, the test methods for SOC cell/stack assembly units including reversible operation (without any methanation reactor) are already described in IEC 62282-8-101.
