Fuel Cell Laboratory
The laboratory has four fuel cell test stations equipped with the necessary sensors and actuators to validate dynamic models and control systems of PEM fuel cells. Several time and frequency characterisation techniques can be performed.
In addition, two fuel cell power system prototypes for robotic applications are available for analysis.
Research in the fuel cell laboratory focuses on the optimal operation of PEM fuel cells.
