Implement Fuel Cell and Electrolyzer Controls
Control systems play a significant role in ensuring the safe, durable, and efficient operations of fuel cell and electrolyzer systems. With Simulink and Simscape, you can rapidly prototype control design and generate code for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing and deployment.
- Design electro-thermal control algorithms for current and voltage regulation, humidity regulation, pressure management, water management, and thermal management
- Generate readable, optimized C/C++ or HDL control code for fuel cell models
- Generate code for the plant model
- Perform real-time hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing to avoid costly damages to the fuel cell hardware prototype
- Deploy control code to embedded processors or FPGA/SOC devices

“Fuel cell systems need to be reliable and efficient. We accomplish this by using MathWorks tools to rapidly develop and simulate our control algorithms before trying them on a system. We don’t have time to investigate our algorithms with C or C++. Fortunately, MATLAB lets us test our ideas with just a few lines of code. It saves a lot of time and moves us toward our goal of creating a commercially viable onsite energy system.” – Rebecca Dinan, Plug Power >>Read story |
