The white paper outlines AVL’s efforts to address the critical challenge of fuel cell degradation in research and development. Through their AVL Fuel Cell Diagnostic toolchain, AVL aims to provide a comprehensive solution for monitoring and mitigating degradation mechanisms, translating abstract challenges into measurable parameters. By integrating various monitoring methods and models, AVL facilitates early detection and prevention of degradation, thereby optimizing fuel cell lifetime and operational strategies.
The toolchain, designed as a passive observer with open interfaces, caters to both newcomers and experienced developers, offering a versatile solution applicable across all integration levels. Additionally, AVL emphasizes the integration of their diagnostic toolchain into existing software suites, enhancing the overall development process and enabling data-driven insights for continuous improvement.
