Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of fuel cells and relates to a fuel cell-based Fuel cell air system evaluation method based on Background Art

[0002] Fuel cells, as a highly efficient and low-pollution power generation technology, have been widely used in various fields, including transportation, distributed energy, and portable devices. The fuel cell air system, a critical auxiliary subsystem for fuel cell stack operation, significantly impacts the overall efficiency, dynamic response, and lifespan of the fuel cell. The air system primarily consists of components such as an air filter, air compressor, intercooler, and humidifier. Its mission is to provide the fuel cell stack with air at the appropriate flow rate, pressure, temperature, and humidity to meet its operational requirements.

[0003] In recent years, with the rapid development of fuel cell technology, higher requirements have been placed on the performance optimization and system integration of air systems. The design and development of fuel cell air systems have gradually shifted from traditional empirical methods to a systematic approach based on coupled analysis of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and control engineering. In order to achieve high-efficiency operation and minimize energy consumption of air systems, academia and industry generally use forward modeling, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation, test platform evaluation and other methods to analyze and optimize system performance. However, since the air system involves multiple components, multiple variables, and multiple operating conditions, its operation process exhibits obvious nonlinear characteristics. Especially under non-isothermal conditions, there are complex heat-flow-humidity multi-physics field coupling transfer phenomena in the system, making it difficult to fully grasp the system's energy conversion and loss mechanisms.

[0004] At present, the performance evaluation of fuel cell air systems mainly relies on the following methods: Energy efficiency analysis: Based on the law of conservation of energy, it analyzes the input and output energy and evaluates the efficiency of the system, but it cannot identify the loss location in the irreversible process; CFD simulation analysis: It can simulate the flow and heat transfer details within the components, but the model construction is complex and the computational cost is high, making it difficult to use for rapid system-level evaluation; Test platform testing: It obtains actual performance data of the system or components, but the experimental cost is high and the cycle is long, making it difficult to meet the needs of rapid design evaluation; Multi-objective optimization method: It uses multidisciplinary optimization algorithms to balance different performance indicators, but the ability to identify loss mechanisms and system potential is limited.

[0005] In existing research, although some scholars have introduced Exergy Analysis attempts to reveal the energy quality and irreversibility issues of the system, but it focuses more on the thermal management system of the fuel cell stack or the overall system level, and does not focus on the air system, which is a key auxiliary system. Characterization research is still incomplete and lacks systematic component-level Loss identification methods and evaluation process.

[0006] At present, the fuel cell air system is under design and development. The operation process of each component of the system is complex, involving the coordinated changes of multiple parameters such as temperature, humidity, and pressure. Traditional energy analysis cannot accurately identify the location and nature of irreversible losses. The lack of scientific quantitative methods for the distribution and loss mechanism of Exergy limits the identification of performance bottlenecks and the exploration of system optimization space; the lack of unified and systematic Evaluation methods make it difficult to effectively compare and optimize the energy efficiency levels of air systems and their key components; current air systems are mostly optimized and designed using empirical methods, which lack theoretical support and are difficult to adapt to multi-objective trade-off design and efficient integration requirements.
