Genport Secures EU Grant to Optimize PEMFCs with HPC & AI

 

Genport, in collaboration with the Department of Energy at Politecnico di Milano, has been awarded funding from the First FFplus EU Open Call to enhance Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) performance using High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Machine Learning (ML).  
The project leverages POLIMI’s high-fidelity 3D PEMFC models, developed in OpenFoam CFD, to train ML surrogate models for real-time Model Predictive Control (MPC). This innovative approach aims to improve PEMFC efficiency by up to 15% and extend durability by up to 50%, driving advancements in clean energy for electric vehicles, stationary power, and portable applications.  
Stay tuned for updates on this breakthrough in fuel cell optimization!
