Key Benefits

ASM Fuel Cell is shipped with a ready-to-use demo for a fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV), where the PEM fuel cell system is a main component of the powertrain. The demo is designed to be used in a longitudinal powertrain setup for rear-, front-, or all-wheel drives or optionally without a powertrain where only the electrical system is the focus, i.e., for testbench or aerospace applications. It also lets you simulate the surrounding electrical infrastructure, such as battery and motor, as well as the electrochemical reactions within the fuel cell stack, the air and hydrogen supply, the tank system, and the cooling system. The performance of the fuel cell system is evaluated on the basis of the existing loss phenomena, including activation, ohmic, and concentration losses. The transport phenomena and the reaction mechanisms of the different gas types as well as water management are considered as well. You can use a network of soft ECUs  to control the vehicle and successively replace them with controllers under test. The fuel cell simulation model can be adapted to any customer application and parameterized accordingly.

ASM Fuel Cell is fully integrated into the ASM tool suite. This makes the model scalable for any application area – from component tests to complete system tests and from passenger cars, trucks, and buses to aerospace applications.
