    Abstract: In an example, a system for increasing solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) efficiency is described. The system comprises a series of SOFC stacks, a fuel flow path through the series, and an air flow path through the series. In the fuel flow path between two sequential SOFC stacks in the series, fuel exhaust from a first SOFC stack of the two sequential SOFC stacks is input into a second SOFC stack of the two sequential SOFC stacks. In the air flow path between the two sequential SOFC stacks, air exhaust from the first SOFC stack is input into the second SOFC stack. Further, between the two sequential SOFC stacks, (i) the fuel flow path comprises a fuel inlet positioned for injecting fuel into the fuel flow path and/or (ii) the air flow path comprises an air inlet positioned for injecting air into the air flow path.

    Abstract: A method for assembling an electrochemical cell stack may include arranging a plurality of electrochemical cells into an electrochemical cell stack, the electrochemical cell stack including at least a first substack and a second substack; connecting the first substack and second substack such that reactant fluid flows in series from the first substack to the second substack; and coupling the first substack to a first electrical control device such that the first electrical control device selectively electrically reconfigures the first substack to operate in series and in parallel with the second substack.
