A New Approach to Setup, Monitoring of a PEM Fuel Cell Locally and Globally

An advanced version of software Team Viewer has been used to monitor and control PEM fuel cell. This software use the Nexa Mon hardware base to detect the important factors of fuel cell like output voltage, output power and input hydrogen pressure. The validation of this complex of sensors and monitoring set is done by the Balard Company. Merging the Nexa Mon monitoring system with Team Viewer software provides monitoring PEM fuel cell from far away. Monitoring and controlling PEM fuel cell has a great application especially in mobile vehicles. The preference of using this new approach is its simplicity and cheapness. A high speed internet connection is all what we need in order to apply this method on PEM fuel cell.
