Simulation-Based Development of Fuel Cell Control Units: From Office Simulation to Hardware-In-The-Loop – Real-Time Capable Models and Their Advantages

Learn more about the current trends in the exciting field of fuel cell development at the system level in our webinar and find out how MicroNova and AVL are collaborating to find solutions to the challenges in FCCU development using simulation and HiL and SiL environments.

In our webinar, we will guide you through the steps to create real-time capable models, to implement model coupling with control units, and to build a platform for virtual fuel cell control unit sizing and design.

AVL CRUISE™ M enables multidisciplinary simulations for fuel cell systems - from balance-of-plant system modeling to electrochemistry and water balance. Use it to virtually optimize design, performance, and efficiency.

Then learn how Model-in-the-Loop (MiL), Software-in-the-Loop (SiL), and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) are used to productively apply the system model for control development, calibration, and optimization.

Detlef Naundorf, Senior Business Development Manager, MicroNova AG, and Boyu Yang, Senior Simulation Engineer, AVL Deutschland GmbH will show you interesting application examples from project activities and explain the necessary work steps.

Key topics and takeaways:
• Creation of real-time capable models for fuel cell systems
• Setup of a development platform for virtual design of fuel cell control units
• Application of Model-in-the-Loop (MiL) and Software-in-the-Loop (SiL) to couple models with control units for optimal design
• Integration and testing with Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL)
