Orbit H2 — The Future of Modular and Scalable Fuel Cell Testing
As the global transition toward clean and sustainable energy accelerates, hydrogen fuel cells are emerging as one of the most promising zero-emission technologies. From powering electric vehicles to supporting renewable energy storage, hydrogen-based solutions are transforming industries. However, achieving reliable performance and safety in these technologies requires one critical step — accurate, scalable, and automated hydrogen fuel cell testing.
This is where iASYS’s Orbit H2 stands out — a next-generation Fuel Cell and Electrolyser Testing Solution designed to empower R&D, validation, and production teams with unmatched precision, safety, and flexibility.
Understanding the Need for Advanced Fuel Cell Testing
Hydrogen fuel cells convert hydrogen and oxygen into electricity with water as the only byproduct — a clean and efficient process. Yet, developing and validating these systems is far from simple.
Researchers and manufacturers face multiple challenges such as:
Inconsistent testing data across setups
Difficulty in replicating real-world operating conditions
Integration issues with diverse measurement systems
Strict global safety and compliance standards
Without a reliable and modular fuel cell test station, the journey from concept to commercialization can become slow and expensive.
According to industry studies, over 70% of fuel cell developers struggle with achieving repeatable testing results, while 60% of R&D teams require scalable test systems that can accommodate different fuel cell and electrolyser technologies.
This highlights the importance of advanced platforms like Orbit H2, engineered to ensure accuracy, scalability, and safety — the three pillars of modern fuel cell testing platforms in India and globally.
