The workshop will present the final results achieved by the EU project RUBY funded by Horizon Europe Clean Hydrogen Partnership. The project has developed, integrated, engineered and tested a comprehensive and generalized Monitoring, Diagnostic, Prognostic and Control (MDPC) tool capable of improving efficiency, reliability and durability of both SOFC and PEMFC systems for stationary applications. The MDPC tool features Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS)-based stack monitoring for fault diagnosis and lifetime estimation, Balance of Plant diagnostics, supervisory Real Time Optimization control and mitigation strategies. AI-based techniques have been implemented as well, confirming the effective opportunity to perform on-line diagnostics and prognostic analysis with affordable development efforts.
