Problems solved by technology

The existing fuel cell control technology mainly performs closed-loop control for the temperature of the fuel cell, and corrects the control output through the ambient temperature. The disadvantages are slow response speed, slow response speed of fan startup, long reaction time of temperature control, and easy oscillation of temperature closed-loop control. Phenomenon; part of the control technology uses the ambient temperature and heat production power to calculate the cooling air volume, so as to control the temperature. The same target temperature has control deviation; in summary, temperature fluctuations and deviations will affect the water and heat balance inside the fuel cell, thereby affecting the performance, stability and life of the fuel cell

Embodiment 1

[0033] This embodiment provides a method for controlling the temperature of the fuel cell coolant, setting the corresponding temperature difference setting value according to different dispatching currents, and starting the fan control strategy; ) Calculate the initial duty cycle of the fan. On the basis of the initial duty cycle of the fan, the closed-loop control is used to obtain the duty cycle of the fan, which shortens the closed-loop control time and reduces the control deviation; Work within the maximum efficiency range to reduce fan loss and avoid noise caused by large fan duty ratios; during fan switching, consider the fan startup delay, and calculate the duty cycle according to the original number of fans before reaching the fan delay. After the fan is delayed, the duty cycle is calculated according to the number of new fans to prevent the temperature overshoot caused by the fan startup delay.

Abstract

The invention discloses a fuel cell cooling liquid temperature control method and system and a controller thereof, and the temperature control method comprises the steps: collecting the real-time temperature value and other data of a fuel cell stack cooling liquid outlet, and searching the target value temperature of the cooling liquid outlet, a temperature difference set value and the number of initial fans according to a scheduling current; whether the difference between the cooling liquid outlet target temperature value and the real-time temperature value is smaller than a temperature difference set value or not is judged, if yes, a fan control strategy is started, the fan duty ratio is calculated, then whether the fan duty ratio is larger than or equal to the minimum set duty ratio and smaller than or equal to the maximum set duty ratio or not is judged, and if yes, the fan duty ratio is directly output to control the fan rotating speed; if the duty ratio is smaller than the minimum set duty ratio, the number of fans is reduced, and the fan duty ratio is calculated for controlling the fan rotating speed; and if the duty ratio is larger than the maximum set duty ratio, the number of the fans is increased, and the fan duty ratio is calculated for controlling the fan rotating speed by considering the fan starting delay. The invention can meet the requirements of fuel cell efficiency and service life.
