Fuel Cell Test Interface Facility-level view Data Viewer Summary A client in the research eld came to us with a challenging large-scale project: building a large-scale automated system for testing energy Batteries and Fuel Cells: Large-Scale Distributed Testingstorage devices, including batteries and fuel cells. The system had to be scalable to enable hundreds of parallel asynchronous tests on various devices, including smart HEV/PHEV/EV battery packs, single Lithium- ion and lead acid battery cells, multi-cell lithium-ion battery packs, “smart” CAN-enabled fuel cells, and bare fuel cell stacks. The system also had to be exible enough to work with any cycler type, including o-the-shelf and custom built cyclers, from 5kW to 250kW. Tests must run asynchronously for months at a time, col
