Research Directions
Research Areas and Shared Methods
Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Systems
Fuel Cell Testing
Fuel cell stacks, engines, and auxiliary systems; FCU hardware-in-the-loop testing; component-in-the-loop testing; and test-bench command generation and control validation.
Hydrogen Data and Carbon Accounting
Data platforms covering hydrogen production, storage, transport, refuelling, and vehicle use; operational analysis, carbon accounting, and early safety warnings.
New-Energy-Vehicle Powertrain Systems
Motor, Electric Drive and Hybrid Powertrain Testing
Single motors, high-speed motors, back-to-back motor systems, electric drive assemblies, hybrid powertrains, four-wheel-drive multi-axle coupling, and energy management.
Engine and Emissions Testing
Engine performance and calibration, emissions testing, RDE, and mapping between on-road and laboratory operating conditions.
Shared Methods
Models, controllers, test platforms, and engineering data are used together across both application areas.
X-in-the-Loop and Intelligent Testing Infrastructure
MIL, SIL, HIL, and XIL testing, including real-time simulation, supervisory test control, model and scenario management, test-case configuration, and result traceability.
Engineering Computing and Data Credibility
Cross-disciplinary multiphysics calculations, matching energy demand to system capacity, data fusion across sources and sampling rates, physical consistency checks, and data reliability audits.
