Fuel Cell Testing Made Easy by EA Elektro-Automatik
Do you want to test key metrics of a fuel cell such as resistance, performance, and lifetime quickly and cost-efficiently? The solution is the EA-ELR 10000 series of regenerative loads, which are ideal for fuel cell testing, have an input power of 30 kW. For mass testing, you can connect the units in parallel to reach up to 1.92 MW. Discover the associated advantages.

00:00:01 [Music] the fuel cell technology is playing an increasingly important role for climate neutral energy Supply and EA is closely supporting the renewable Evolution underway through products with technical Excellence geared towards conserving resources and designed for a wide range of applications while the typical output of fuel cell Stacks integrated into
00:00:23 backup power supply systems is 1.5 megawatts the power of fuel cell Stacks driving an electric motor in industrial trucks delivery vehicles and buses is 125 kilowatts currently fuel cell Stacks with steadily increasing power and nominal voltage are being developed tests and simulations with EA equipment ensure that the fuel cell Stacks meet the specified minimum efficiency
00:00:47 function safely and have the required operating life the eaelr 10000 series electronic loads are suitable for testing high power fuel cell stacks and offer full power capacity over a wide range of operating tests in numbers this means a unit power maximum of 30 kilowatts an output voltage of up to 2000 volt a current carrying capacity maximum of 1000 amps and a power of up
00:01:13 to 1.92 megawatts with parallel connection for efficient Mass testing of fuel cell Stacks up to 64 units can be connected in parallel our bi-directional power supplies of the eapsb 10000 series are also suitable for fuel cell tests they have the same performance data but enable the simulation of various fuel cell
00:01:35 properties and have equal power in source and sync mode special features such as the built-in function generator with arbitrary waveform functionality and true Auto ranging ensure maximum flexibility and highest efficiency in testing and simulation thanks to the regenerative mode of operation no energy is lost the power consumed is fed back into the grid with an efficiency greater
00:02:00 than 96 this saves electricity and makes the operation of additional cooling systems unnecessary because less heat is generated EA devices can be controlled and monitored conveniently and precisely via a Windows PC with the EA power control operating software with the optional multi-control the settings of up to 20 EA devices can be managed simultaneously while the data is logged
00:02:25 fuel cells are becoming more and more relevant an EA is eager to contribute its part to environmentally friendly energy with reliable Power Electronics for tests and simulations made in Germany learn more at electroautomatic.com fuel-cell
