By building a model using COMSOL Multiphysics® software, we determined the design parameters for utilizing the microstructure of a regenerative solid oxide fuel cell (URSOFC). Numerical simulations were performed using these parameters using governing equations. We found only the effects of cathode porosity and average pore size on the power generation of URSOFC, whereas the effects of anode porosity and average pore size were negligible. Our results revealed that the higher the concentration of water vapor, the better the efficiency of hydrogen production, and the lower the permeability, the worse the performance. The cathode material must be selected on the basis of porosity, pore size, and permeability.
