Advanced CharacTerIsation of Fuel cell stacks for automotive applications (ACTIF)
Description
The project ACTIF aims at optimized operational strategies for fuel cell systems regarding the three main aspects efficiency, life-time and costs on the stack level. This will be enabled by enhanced understanding of fuel cell stacks on the basis of advanced time-resolved characterization techniques and mathematical modeling. The project is a French-German-Swiss initiative for research collaboration on fuel cells for automotive application.
