Abstract :
A software to evaluate the performances of fuel cells has been developed The software, initially developed for Molten Carbonate Fuel Cells, allows to realize some measurement tests on it, satisfying flexibility characteristics particularly appreciated by qualified developer and researcher. The software allows to verify both single cells and whole stack by the control of voltage waveform versus time or current. Moreover it can be used also for other kind of fuel cells.
