This research generates and analyzes design and manufacturing alternatives for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) in Central Power generation.  The research reveals opportunities to reduce resource consumption, prevent pollution, and plan energy and recycling infrastructures for mass producible systems.  This research captures a variety of options for SOFC and plant design and construction as opposed to a single prototype plant.
