Baseline characterisation of state of the art automotive MEAs in full size FC hardware completed - PDF Test protocols for the GAIA Project and documents for the partners for testing are released. Cell hardware for 50 cm² cell testing, especially the flow field design, was shared with JMFC, TUM and CNRS.ĭ.2.3 – Test protocols defined and documents issued. Based on this information the decision for automotive stack hardware setup was made with the project partners ZSW and JMFC.

For this reason, publically available information from other EU FCH JU funded projects (Autostack-Core, INSPIRE, VOLUMETRIQ) was collected and rated according to the needs of GAIA, described in D2.1. The focus lies on the transfer of fuel cell system operating conditions to available state-of-the-art test rigs located at the individual project partners to obtain fuel cell system relevant results.ĭ.2.2 – Decision on bipolar plate hardware and recommendation on small scale test cell Hardware to be used - CONFIDENTIAL The requirements and testing protocols defined in Deliverable D2.1 and in Deliverable D2.3 have to be verified by in situ testing in appropriate cell hardware by systematic test cycles. Therefore, Deliverable D2.1 in a very detailed formĭescribes the operating conditions based on virtual fuel cell systems for FCEV.


Workpackage 2: Requirements, Test Methods and Operating Conditions, Benchmarking, Cost assessmentĭ.2.1 – Fuel cell operation conditions, performance and durability requirements - CONFIDENTIAL For the use of Membrane-Electrode-Assemblies in future automotive fuel cell systems, the definition of the operating conditions for an efficient and fast development process is crucial. It has identified the components undergoing degradation in automotive drive cycle testing, and has introduced measures correspondingly, with the aim of achieving the durability target in the final project months. GAIA's project team has driven the project achievements to reach the M30 performance target of 1.8 W/cm2 at 0.6 V. It has continued to introduce new materials concepts and CCM constructions, and to characterise them using a broad range of advanced techniques, local probes, and operando methods. GAIA has continued to make excellent progress across the work packages dedicated to catalyst, support, ionomer, membrane, and MEA development. All deliverable and milestone reports have been submitted.ĭ1.7 - M19-M36 Progress Report – CONFIDENTIAL Fuel cell research at stack level or lowerĭ.1.5 – TRUST reporting 2021 - CONFIDENTIAL Annual data reporting (TRUST) for the calendar year 2021 has been completed for GAIA for the template ĭ1.6: Final Reporting Completed - CONFIDENTIAL Parts A and B of the RP2 progress reporting are complete and ready for submission.Parts A and B of the RP1 progress reporting were submitted on 10th September 2020.ĭ.1.4 – TRUST reporting 2020 - CONFIDENTIAL Annual data reporting (TRUST) for the calendar year 2020 has been completed for GAIA for the template The PSW maintenance is therefore an on-going activity that will go along with the project lifetimeĭ.1.3 – Mid-term report submitted - CONFIDENTIAL Among all the functionalities installed on this PSW, for now partners have a total access to the following tools: D.1.1 – TRUST reporting 2019 - CONFIDENTIAL Annual data reporting (TRUST) has been completed for GAIA for the template: Fuel cell research at stack level or lower.ĭ.1.2 – Project shared workspace implemented and operational - CONFIDENTIAL To fulfil two fundamental internal project communication requirements: i) efficient exchange between partners of information about GAIA project ii) decentralised and secured archiving of the documents generated, one independent and secured web-based communication tool: Project Shared Workplace – PSW has been implemented with a restricted access for project partners only.
