Globe Selects Ansys to Reduce Development Costs for Fuel Cell Systems and Accelerate Industrial Decarbonization
PITTSBURGH, April 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Fuel cell technology company Globe Fuel Cell Systems uses Ansys (NASDAQ: ANSS) simulation software to enable cost savings in the development of its individual hydrogen fuel cells and fuel cell systems for carbon-neutral objectives for intralogistics. Specifically, these objectives involve the optimization and automation of information within industrial spaces, including distribution centers, warehouses, and hospitals in support of Globe customers on their path to decarbonization.
- Ansys simulation enables Globe to develop carbon neutral, intelligent, modular energy systems based on its innovative fuel cell technology
• With support from Ansys channel partner CADFEM, Ansys simulation enabled Globe's XLP80, a complete hybrid fuel cell system combined with lithium-ion battery power, to deliver high-energy output in support of a pro-hydrogen economy
• A triple-stage simulation approach helped Globe save three test stands during closed-loop analysis, reducing development costs by more than $150,000
PITTSBURGH, April 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Fuel cell technology company Globe Fuel Cell Systems uses Ansys (NASDAQ: ANSS) simulation software to enable cost savings in the development of its individual hydrogen fuel cells and fuel cell systems for carbon-neutral objectives for intralogistics. - Temperature regulation is a key function of hydrogen-based fuel cell systems, as any missteps in system optimization can negatively impact energy conversion.
- "The transportation industry plays an outsized role in global decarbonization, where speed and reliability are critical," said Dr. Bernhard Wienk-Borgert, co-founder and chief technology officer at Globe Fuel Cell Systems.
- "Simulation presents immediate scaling opportunities for fuel cell technology that can drive down development times and fuel cell stack costs, and quickly open up numerous possibilities in markets that were once aspirational for our customers."
