Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of fuel cells, and particularly to a method and device for obtaining a control strategy of an on-vehicle fuel cell system, an electronic device, an electric vehicle, and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] A fuel cell is a chemical device that directly converts the chemical energy of a fuel into electrical energy, also known as an electrochemical generator. Most fuel cells use hydrogen as fuel and oxygen as an oxidant to directly convert the chemical energy of the fuel into electrical energy. It is not restricted by the Carnot cycle and can operate continuously for a long time as long as there is sufficient fuel and oxygen. It also has characteristics such as high specific energy, low noise, pollution-free, zero emissions, and high energy conversion efficiency, and can be widely used in various fields such as small power stations, communication power supplies, robot power supplies, automobiles, power systems, and household life. Fuel cell technology is considered the preferred clean and efficient power generation technology in the 21st century. Fuel cells can be classified into alkaline fuel cells, phosphoric acid fuel cells, proton exchange membrane fuel cells, molten carbonate fuel cells, solid oxide fuel cells, etc. according to their different electrolytes.

[0003] An on-vehicle fuel cell generally uses oxygen as an oxidant to carry out an electrochemical reaction with hydrogen. The article "Analysis of the Efficiency Characteristics of the Start-up Process of a Fuel Cell Engine" was published in the Journal of Automotive Engineering in March 2013, which pointed out that: at the beginning of the start-up of the (on-vehicle fuel cell) engine, the hydrogen flow rate is relatively large, which is to sweep away the impurity gases remaining in the anode of the fuel cell. When the current steps up, the hydrogen flow rate also increases. Due to the lag of the electromagnetic valve with respect to the current change, the hydrogen flow rate does not directly reach the steady-state value but has a certain degree of lag and then gradually tends to the steady-state value. The system efficiency of the fuel cell engine increases sharply with the increase of the start-up time. After the system efficiency reaches the maximum value, it slowly decreases with the increase of the start-up time. The hydrogen utilization rate and the power of the auxiliary system have a significant impact on the system efficiency characteristics.

[0004] During the frequent start-up, stop, and speed change processes of an electric vehicle, the speed and acceleration fluctuations of the electric vehicle are very frequent, which requires parameters such as the fuel supply speed and the output power of the fuel cell to change rapidly to adapt to the load change. However, the dynamic response of the on-vehicle fuel cell system has a certain time lag, and its dynamic response process generally takes several seconds, while the electrochemical reaction process of hydrogen and oxygen is in the millisecond level, resulting in the on-vehicle fuel cell system being prone to operating in a non-optimal efficiency range, which will affect the service life of the core components of the on-vehicle fuel cell in the long run. Summary of the Invention

[0043] Next, in combination with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation manners, the present application will be further described. It should be noted that, on the premise of no conflict, the following-described embodiments or technical features can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments with each other.

[0044] Refer to Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present application provides a method for obtaining a control strategy of an on-vehicle fuel cell system, which is applied to an electric vehicle. The electric vehicle can be an electric car, such as an electric sedan, an electric bus, etc. The electric vehicle includes an on-vehicle fuel cell system. The method includes steps S101 to S104.

[0045] Step S101: Obtain the current road condition detection data of the driving direction of the electric vehicle.

[0046] In a specific implementation manner, the current road condition detection data can be obtained by a road condition detection device provided on the electric vehicle detecting the current road condition in real time; or, the current road condition detection data can be sent by a cloud server. Among them, the cloud server is, for example, the background server of a vehicle-road collaborative system.

[0047] Thus, the current road condition detection data can be obtained by real-time detection by the detection device of the electric vehicle itself. The current road condition detection data can also be sent by the cloud server. The data is not easy to be lost, is safe and reliable, and has good stability and fast response speed.

[0048] Step S102: Obtain the current road condition information according to the current road condition detection data.

[0049] Step S103: Predict the predicted power consumption information of the electric vehicle according to the current road condition information.

[0050] Refer to Figure 2 , in a specific implementation manner, step S103 may include steps S201 to S203.

[0051] Step S201: Obtain a plurality of sample road condition information and the power consumption information corresponding to each sample road condition information.

[0052] Step S202: Train by using a deep learning model according to the plurality of sample road condition information and the power consumption information corresponding to each sample road condition information to obtain a power consumption prediction model.

[0053] Step S203: Input the current road condition information into the power consumption prediction model to obtain the power consumption information corresponding to the current road condition information as the predicted power consumption information of the electric vehicle.

[0054] Thus, based on multiple sample road condition information and corresponding power consumption information, a power consumption prediction model can be trained using a deep learning model. On the one hand, by inputting the current road condition information into the power consumption prediction model, the corresponding predicted power consumption information can be obtained; on the other hand, the power consumption prediction model can be trained by a large amount of sample data, can identify various road condition information, has a wide application range, and a high level of intelligence.

[0055] Step S104: Obtain a control strategy according to the predicted power consumption information. The control strategy is used to control the operation of the on-vehicle fuel cell system to increase the proportion of the duration during which the actual efficiency of the on-vehicle fuel cell system is within a preset efficiency range. Among them, the calculation method of the actual efficiency of the fuel cell system is recorded in "Fuel Cell System" published by Beihang University Press in September 2009, which will not be elaborated here. In addition, the preset efficiency range can be a pre-set efficiency range, such as the optimal efficiency range, and the optimal efficiency range is, for example, 60-80% or 70%-90%.

[0056] See Figure 3 , generally, on-vehicle fuel cells use oxygen as an oxidant to carry out an electrochemical reaction with hydrogen. During the frequent start, stop, and speed change processes of an electric vehicle, the speed and acceleration of the electric vehicle fluctuate very frequently, which requires parameters such as the fuel supply speed and the output power of the fuel cell to change rapidly to adapt to the load change. However, there is a certain time lag in the dynamic response of the on-vehicle fuel cell system, and its dynamic response process generally takes several seconds, while the electrochemical reaction process of hydrogen and oxygen is in the millisecond level, resulting in the on-vehicle fuel cell system being prone to operating in a non-optimal efficiency range. Over time, it will affect the service life of the core components of the on-vehicle fuel cell.

[0057] Thus, the current road condition information can be obtained according to the current road condition detection data in the driving direction of the electric vehicle, the power consumption of the electric vehicle can be predicted based on the current road condition information to obtain the predicted power consumption information of the electric vehicle, and then the corresponding control strategy can be obtained according to the predicted power consumption information. On the one hand, for different road conditions, the corresponding control strategy can be obtained in advance before the actual power consumption changes, with a relatively high level of intelligence and automation; on the other hand, the corresponding control strategy can be used to compensate for the lag of the dynamic response of the on-vehicle fuel cell system, so that the actual efficiency of the on-vehicle fuel cell system can be maintained within the preset efficiency range for a long time, and the components of the on-vehicle fuel cell system are more durable.

[0058] In a specific embodiment, the current road condition information may include at least one of the following: road surface type; average vehicle speed; average slope; road congestion level; whether there is a traffic accident on the current section; whether there are obstacles on the current section; the predicted power consumption information may include at least one of the following: predicted load power; predicted load current; predicted load voltage; the control strategy may include at least one of the following: output power of a single fuel cell; output power of a fuel cell stack; charge and discharge strategy of an energy storage battery. Specifically, the fuel cell stack is composed of a number of single fuel cells combined, and the energy storage battery is arranged on the electric vehicle, which may be a hybrid energy storage battery. Among them, the road surface type is, for example, flat or bumpy, the average slope is, for example, 15 degrees or 30 degrees, the road congestion level is, for example, not congested, slightly congested, moderately congested, severely congested, extremely congested, whether there is a traffic accident on the current section is, for example, "there is a traffic accident on the current section" or "there is no traffic accident on the current section", whether there are obstacles on the current section is, for example, "there are obstacles on the current section" or "there are no obstacles on the current section". The output power of a single fuel cell is, for example, 15W, the output power of the fuel cell stack is, for example, 500W, and the charge and discharge strategy of the energy storage battery is, for example, charging the energy storage battery or discharging the energy storage battery.

[0059] In a specific embodiment, when the current road condition information is that the road congestion level is severely congested, the corresponding change in the predicted power consumption information may be a decrease in the predicted load power, and the corresponding control strategy may be to reduce the output power of a single fuel cell and the output power of the fuel cell stack, and cooperate with adjusting the energy storage battery to charge, thereby enabling the actual efficiency of the on-vehicle fuel cell system to be in a relatively high range.

[0060] Thus, for different road conditions, the power consumption situation of the electric vehicle can be predicted to obtain the predicted power consumption information, and then different control strategies can be adopted according to the predicted power consumption information, such as adjusting the output power of a single fuel cell, adjusting the output power of the fuel cell stack, charging or discharging the energy storage battery, etc.

[0061] In a specific embodiment, the control strategy may further include at least one of the following: fuel supply quantity control strategy, where the fuel is, for example, hydrogen; processing system reaction condition control strategy; unreacted gas circulation control strategy; reaction temperature, pressure, air supply quantity control strategy; direct current and voltage control strategy, heat recovery system control strategy, voltage and alternating current frequency control strategy, current and voltage output control strategy.

[0062] See Figure 4 , in a specific embodiment, the method of obtaining the control strategy according to the predicted power consumption information in step S104 may include steps S301 to S303.

[0063] Step S301: Obtain multiple sample power consumption information and the control strategy corresponding to each of the sample power consumption information.

[0064] Step S302: According to the multiple sample power consumption information and the control strategy corresponding to each of the sample power consumption information, use a deep learning model for training to obtain a control strategy model.

[0065] Step S303: Input the predicted power consumption information into the control strategy model to obtain the control strategy.

[0066] Thus, according to multiple sample power consumption information and the corresponding control strategy, a deep learning model can be used for training to obtain a control strategy model. On the one hand, by inputting the predicted power consumption information into the control strategy model, the corresponding control strategy can be obtained; on the other hand, the control strategy model can be trained by a large amount of sample data, can identify various predicted power consumption information, has a wide application range, and a high level of intelligence.

[0067] See Figure 5 , in a specific embodiment, the method may further include step S105.

[0068] Step S105: Control the operation of the vehicle-mounted fuel cell system according to the control strategy corresponding to the predicted power consumption information.

[0069] Thus, the corresponding control strategy can be obtained according to the predicted power consumption information, and the operation of the vehicle-mounted fuel cell system can be controlled according to the control strategy to compensate for the lag in the dynamic response of the vehicle-mounted fuel cell system, so that the actual efficiency of the vehicle-mounted fuel cell system can be in a relatively high range.

[0070] See Figure 6 , an embodiment of the present application also provides a control strategy acquisition device for a vehicle-mounted fuel cell system. The specific implementation manner thereof is the same as the implementation manner and the achieved technical effects described in the embodiment of the control strategy acquisition method for the vehicle-mounted fuel cell system above, and some contents will not be repeated.
