A first principles‐based non‐linear dynamic model for a Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell system is presented, analysed, and further developed for model‐based control applications. Transient validation results, using a laboratory‐scale test stack, are provided in support of the cell stack model. Physical arguments and time scale separation are used to derive simpler, reduced‐order, model structures useful for control analysis and design. Reduced‐order models are derived for the cell stack alone as well as for the cell stack integrated with Balance‐of‐Plant. The results are compared with the full‐order models and used in control system design.
