Hydrogen Fuel Cells

Design & simulation solutions for hydrogen fuel cells.

Fuel cell design poses a unique set of challenges – they must be highly efficient, compact, light-weight and low temperature while remaining durable and reliable.

Ansys simulation can help predict fuel cell performance and thermal behaviour and includes built-in fuel cell modules to model high temperature SOFC and low temperature PEMFC, including inputs and physics for cooling channels, flow channels, current collectors, porous electrodes, microporous layer, catalyst and membrane. Full-stack models can be solved quickly using Ansys’ highly scalable CFD solution.

Simulation helps engineers understand the sensitivity of fuel cell parameters, operating conditions and channel cooling on performance and thermal management, and the predicted condensation and water content, and polarisation curve for fuel cells.
