In the present work a computational model of a planar solid oxide regenerative fuel cell is developed using the CFD software Ansys FLUENT. Steady state conditions and three-dimensional geometry of the cell are considered. The thermodynamic parameters temperature and pressure of the reacting gases are analyzed. The electrodes porosity is also studied for being a determining property in the species diffusion process and in the ohmic losses. It was obtained that to increment temperature since 923 K to 1123 K, increases the regenerative cell performance. When increasing the gases pressure or the electrodes porosity the same effect is observed, although in these cases the performance variation is minimal
