Regenerative or Reverse Fuel Cell (RFC) is a fuel cell run in reverse mode that can function efficiently under both fuel cell mode for electricity generation as well as electrolysis mode for Hydrogen and Oxygen production. A RFC operates like batteries and may be one solution to the problem of storing electricity generated by variable resources that could provide storage of excess energy produced by intermittent renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power stations, releasing this energy during times of low power production.
