LMS Introduces Fuel Cell System Simulation Solution

By DE Editors

LMS (Leuven, Belgium) will introduce its latest fuel cell system simulation solution based on LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim at the Fuel Cell Seminar & Exposition 2008 held in Phoenix, AZ, from October 27-30, 2008.

The LMS Imagine.Lab Fuel Cells solution helps fuel cell manufacturers design and optimize fuel cell stacks and systems via an easily accessible one-dimensional modeling environment. With LMS Imagine.Lab Fuel Cells, users can size components, optimize architecture and geometries, and develop and test control strategies. In addition, electrochemical researchers can opt to integrate and test different gas mixtures and material solutions, and predict real-life reactions like voltage and transient temperature evolution, pressure and mass flow rates for the entire system.

LMS Imagine.Lab Fuel Cells is of particular interest to PEMFC or SOFC system integrators since it uses validated physical modeling, based on an energy exchange approach where basic elements can be easily assembled to represent a complete fuel cell system. Researcher and development can easily “try out” the performance traits of a complete system, reviewing both static and dynamic behavior. LMS Imagine.Lab Fuel Cells comes with all the tools and multi-disciplinary libraries to build, analyze, and optimize a functional digital fuel cell mock-up.

LMS will also showcase the latest release of the LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim system simulation platform. Conference attendees can attend the presentation of a paper, “Multi-scale physical modeling of PEMFC and SOFC from subsystem to stack” on October 30.
