SOLUTIONS

gPROMS Fuel Cell uses high-fi delity AML:FC models within the powerful gPROMS modelling and optimisation framework to provide unprecedented high-fi delity modelling of cell, stack and system.

It provides a means simultaneously to analyse detailed micro-scale effects – AND optimise cell design and operation within the context of the whole fuel cell system.

This makes it possible to address all of the challenges listed on the left, and many more.

BENEFITS

gPROMS Fuel Cell is used within leading automotive, residential and industrial fuel cell design and development companies to:

■ Solve key design problems ■ Reduce time-to-market ■ Manage technology risk ■ Optimise design & operation ■ Minimise unit cost ■ Increase cell life ■ Integrate R&D experimentation and engineering.
