Ford Deploys Fuel Cell Test System Using INERTIA Software

The Challenge

Creating a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test stand to simulate, control, and monitor passenger vehicle fuel cells developed by Ford Motor Company.

The Solution

An HIL test system based on National Instruments (NI) VeriStand real-time test environment, Genuen (formerly Wineman Technology) INERTIA control software add-on, and NI PXI hardware that is flexible and scalable, which allows for testing a variety of fuel cells with a single test system.
