Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fuel cells, and in particular relates to a fuel cell stack simulator based on a simulation model. Background Art

[0002] A fuel cell is a device that converts the chemical energy of a fuel directly into electrical energy. Compared with traditional heat engines, it has the advantages of high operating efficiency, cleanliness, and low noise, and is expected to solve the environmental pollution problem of the energy system. At present, fuel cells have begun to be promoted and applied in the fields of automobiles, drones, and stationary power generation, and have broad application prospects in the future.

[0003] The fuel cell stack is the core component of the fuel cell. It is composed of a stack of membrane electrode, bipolar plate, current collector, end plate and other components. The performance of the membrane electrode is the decisive factor in determining the output characteristics of the fuel cell stack. The main technical indicators that affect the performance of the membrane electrode include ohmic internal resistance, reference exchange current density, electrochemical active area, limiting current density, etc. During the operation of the fuel cell stack, operating conditions will also affect the output characteristics of the fuel cell stack, including temperature, pressure, humidity, hydrogen stoichiometric ratio, air stoichiometric ratio, etc.

[0004] A large number of tests are required in the process of developing fuel cell systems, fuel cell engines, and fuel cell test platforms. If the fuel cell stack is used directly for testing, the procurement cost of the stack is high, and a large amount of hydrogen is consumed, which poses a safety risk. The stack will experience performance degradation during operation, extreme operating conditions will accelerate the aging of the stack, and improper operation may also cause damage to the stack, and it will not be able to maintain stable and consistent output characteristics for a long time. For the fuel cell test platform, it is necessary to adapt to stacks with different power ranges and different output characteristics. The use of real fuel cell stacks cannot meet this requirement. Therefore, it is necessary to use a fuel cell stack simulator to achieve stable and controllable discharge characteristics, which can greatly reduce testing costs and shorten the development cycle.

[0005] Most existing fuel cell stack simulators write the test stack polarization curve data into the program and calculate the stack output by data fitting, which cannot fully meet the test requirements of developing fuel cell systems, fuel cell engines and fuel cell test platforms. The main problems are as follows: 1) It depends on test data and can only simulate one or several types of stacks, and cannot flexibly adjust the output characteristics; 2) It does not have the function of simulating stack faults and cannot be used to develop stack fault diagnosis methods.
