PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a solid oxide fuel cell device that has heat-absorption relaxation means that relaxes local endothermic conditions potentially occurring in a plurality of power generation cells in a module container, in response to an operating condition of a reformed gas utilization device.SOLUTION: A solid oxide fuel cell device includes: a plurality of cells that generate power with fuel gas and oxidant gas; a module container that houses the cells; an external reformer that is arranged on part of an external surface of an external wall of the module container and that uses heat generated during power generation in the cells so as to reform gas to be reformed, by endothermic reaction, into reformed gas for use in a reformed gas utilization device of another system; and heat-absorption relaxation means that spreads and thereby relaxes local endothermic conditions that potentially occur in parts of the cells arranged at positions facing the external reformer through the external wall. |
