MoveOn

Fuel cells offer the opportunity to make mobility sustainable in the future. However, fuel cells have hardly been used in series applications to date. One of the reasons is the limited lifetime of fuel cell stacks. Within the scope of the project, tests are to be carried out independently on the fuel cell stack test bench and evaluated subsequently. This also includes analysis of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy results. For this purpose an evaluation tool is available which can be further developed within the project. In addition, design tasks for special setups and test benches for various other fuel cell components may arise.

Task

- Execution of tests on fuel cell test bench - Analysis of test results - Improvement of evaluation tool - Design of test setups for different fuel cell components

Requirements

- Team player - Open minded - Interest in practical test bench work - Basic knowledge in fuel cells desriable - Experience with Matlab desirable
