### **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.
