The system integrates of reversible solid oxide cells (rSOC), predictive machine learning control, thermal recovery networks, and hybrid hydrogen storage. The system employs rSOC stacks with graded porosity electrodes and infiltrated nanocatalysts operating alternately in electrolysis and fuel cell modes. Comprehensive thermal integration captures high-grade heat in molten salt storage for thermally-assisted electrolysis.
