This software performs automated equivalent circuit estimation by means of a proprietary algorithm that uses curve fitting on the impedance measurement results. This allows quantitative evaluation and analysis of the fuel cells' internal impedance. It also calculates the catalyst active area with a voltammogram derived from measurements of electrode characteristic. This allows a quantitative assessment of the catalyst activation level. The As-510-Z software provides support for detailed analysis of fuel cell characteristics. |
