Flexible
Supports multiple profiles, instruments, and test objectives
Industrial control systems
Fuel cell test suite
A flexible hardware and software platform for fuel cell validation, characterization, and endurance testing. Built for unattended long-duration runs, strict control, and clean data capture.
Highly Automated
Recipe-driven sequencing, alarms, and unattended execution
20+ Years
Field-proven hardware and software reliability in continuous use
Core capabilities
Configurable test recipes
Build and reuse structured test sequences for startup, steady-state, load sweeps, and shutdown without rewriting control logic.
Long-duration unattended operation
Execute endurance campaigns over extended periods with watchdog handling, state recovery, and event-driven notifications.
Automated interlocks and safety states
Layered control checks protect stack, balance-of-plant, and instrumentation with deterministic fault handling.
High-integrity data acquisition
Time-aligned process data, alarms, and operator actions are logged continuously for traceability and post-test analysis.
Live visualization and diagnostics
Real-time trends, limits, and health indicators make it easy to monitor drift, transitions, and anomalous behavior during runs.
Report-ready data outputs
Export structured datasets and summaries for validation reports, compliance records, and engineering review workflows.
Typical workflow
Step 1
Define campaign
Select recipe templates, acceptance limits, and data channels for the test objective.
Step 2
Configure execution
Set sequencing, safety thresholds, alarms, and event actions for automated runtime behavior.
Step 3
Run and supervise
Operate continuously with live trends, exception handling, and minimal operator intervention.
Step 4
Analyze and report
Export test data and event history to support engineering decisions and compliance records.
Built for long-term dependability
These fuel cell test stands are not new prototypes. The hardware platform and control software have run reliably for over 20 years, and the architecture continues to evolve for new test requirements.
Need a flexible, automated fuel cell test stand?
We can help scope a new stand, modernize an existing bench, or improve automation and data quality for long-run test programs.
