Fuel Cell System Development
Helping You Develop Advanced Fuel Cell-Based Propulsion Systems, From Concept to Commercialization
In the continued pursuit for more net-zero fuel sources, the use of hydrogen fuel cells, like many other alternative sources, has started to increase. While production challenges have caused them to be too expensive or inefficient, at SoftInWay we have been able to help with this problem in a two-pronged manner.
Through our industry-leading AxSTREAM software platform, we develop high-fidelity models of fuel cells, allowing practitioners to understand how thermodynamic parameters and boundary conditions impact their performance. By assisting our partners in transitioning hydrogen from a cryogenic liquid to an acceptable temperature gas, our AxSTREAM platform has been instrumental in helping achieve climate goals.
