Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of electrical technology, and more specifically, to a method and device for controlling the output power of a fuel cell vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Fuel cell vehicles are gradually becoming a mainstream industry in the automotive industry due to their high power generation efficiency, strong power, economy and energy saving. The output power of the fuel cell vehicle power system is one of the important factors in vehicle control.

[0003] The power control methods for fuel cell vehicle power systems in the prior art are mainly divided into rule-based and known-based power control methods. Among them, the rule-based power control method mainly determines the working state of the power system by setting the operating rules of the vehicle power system. Although the calculation amount and technical difficulty of this type of method are small, it relies on the engineering experience of the engineers who set the operating rules. The rules often change with the changes of engineers, which has great uncertainty and is difficult to achieve optimal control. And although this control method can achieve real-time control, the specified rules often cause the output power to fluctuate frequently, resulting in accelerated performance degradation of the fuel cell and reduced life. In addition, the power control method based on the known is mainly to obtain the driving conditions in advance, calculate according to the known conditions, and set according to the obtained power value. Although the optimal power can be calculated, it is impossible to control the car in real time.

[0004] Fuel cell vehicles pay more attention to immediate response control to real-time situations while driving, so as to avoid failures and accidents with a greater possibility. However, if the cost of achieving real-time control is the economy of the car, then from an environmental protection perspective, the reduction in the economy of the car will instead cause more pollution and reduce the cost-effectiveness of fuel cell vehicles.

[0050] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0051] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a fuel cell vehicle power system provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the power system of a fuel cell vehicle may include: a fuel cell system 11, a DC converter (DC / DC) 12, an inverter 13, a motor 14, a vehicle controller 15 and a power battery 16. Among them, the vehicle controller controls the various components of the power system through signal flow, so as to control the energy distribution of the fuel cell and the power battery in the power system. Fuel cell vehicles generally adopt a power supply mode of a combination of fuel cells and power batteries. The fuel cell system is connected to the DC converter and then to the bus. The power battery is directly connected to the bus. The power battery is connected in parallel with the fuel cell system to realize the energy collection of the fuel cell and the power battery to provide energy for the operation of the motor.

[0052] The purpose of this application is to obtain real-time data of the power system and control the output power of the power system based on specific conditions, so as to achieve the purpose of taking into account the real-time and economic performance of the fuel cell vehicle power system and improve the cost-effectiveness of the fuel cell vehicle.

[0053] based on Figure 1 The structure diagram shown, Figure 2 An optional flow chart of the output power control of the fuel cell vehicle power system provided in the embodiment of the present application is shown, referring to Figure 2 , the process is applied to the vehicle controller and can include:

[0054] Step S110: Acquire power data and state of charge data of the fuel cell vehicle power system at all times.

[0055] Specifically, the data obtained are data at all times after the car is started. Among them, the vehicle controller of the fuel cell vehicle power system is the control center for the normal driving of the car and the core component of the vehicle control system. The way it obtains data is not unique. The vehicle controller obtains real-time data of the car's operation by directly collecting signals and receiving controller area network (CAN), including real-time speed, real-time power of fuel cells, and state of charge data of power batteries, etc.; or the vehicle controller collects sensor signals from various components, extracts effective values, and the main controller then obtains corresponding real-time data through effective value judgment, matching, and other processing.

[0056] Step S120: Obtain a weight parameter corresponding to a target adjustment period according to the power data and the state of charge data.

[0057] Specifically, according to the power data and the state of charge data, weight parameters corresponding to the target adjustment period are obtained, and the weight parameters include a hydrogen consumption optimization weight, a state of charge deviation optimization weight, and a fuel cell variable load optimization weight.

[0058] It can be understood that the present application considers the control of power from three aspects: hydrogen consumption, state of charge deviation and fuel cell load variation. The three aspects correspond to the three goals of energy control, namely, reducing the hydrogen consumption of the fuel cell, reducing the fluctuation of the state of charge of the power battery and balancing the initial and final values ​​of the state of charge as much as possible, and reducing the fluctuation amplitude of the fuel cell power to improve durability. In addition, the three different parameters correspond to different target adjustment cycles, and the three weight parameters are periodic adjustments to the power data and the state of charge data respectively. The three cycles are adjusted independently to obtain three weight values ​​with different meanings.

[0059] Among them, the period value of the target adjustment period corresponding to each weight parameter is not unique, and may be a period value that is set and cannot be changed by the power system. The target adjustment period value corresponding to each weight parameter may be the same or different; it may also be adjusted according to the real-time data of the power system, so that each calculation cycle is different.

[0060] Step S130: Obtain a target power that meets a current target cost condition according to the weight parameter, the power data and the state of charge data.

[0061] Specifically, a target power that meets a current target cost condition is obtained according to the weight parameter, the power data and the state of charge data.

[0062] It can be understood that in order for the present application to simultaneously meet the conditions of real-time and economy of the fuel cell vehicle power system, it is necessary to concretize the real-time and economy by setting specific data conditions, that is, the target cost conditions, and then find the output power value that meets the target cost conditions by limiting the weight parameters and the power data and state of charge data simultaneously with the target cost conditions.

[0063] Step S140: controlling the fuel cell system to output the target power.

[0064] Specifically, the target power that meets the current target cost obtained in the above steps is the target power value that the fuel cell system is ultimately to be achieved by controlling the fuel cell system.

[0065] Obviously, through the scheme of the present application, the fuel cell vehicle determines the weight parameters of different energy control targets based on the power data and state of charge data obtained in real time, and then makes calculations that meet the target cost conditions based on the weight parameters and the power data and state of charge data to obtain the target power. By controlling the power system, the power system is output at the target power, and finally the power control of the fuel cell vehicle power system is achieved, so that the power system can obtain the optimal output power based on the real-time vehicle condition data, and control the power system to output the target power. It can also ensure that the output power of the power system meets the energy control target corresponding to the weight parameters while meeting the real-time performance, thereby achieving optimal control and slowing down the decline of fuel cell performance.

[0066] Next, the embodiment of the present application will further introduce the method of outputting power of a fuel cell vehicle.

[0067] For step S120, a weight parameter corresponding to the target adjustment period is obtained according to the power data and the state of charge data. In the present application scheme, the specific power data and state of charge data used to obtain the weight parameter corresponding to the target adjustment period include:

[0068] The average and expected value of the power battery state of charge at all times during the last target adjustment cycle, the average and expected value of the absolute value of the deviation between the state of charge and the expected value of the state of charge at all times during the last target adjustment cycle, and the average and expected value of the fuel cell power change at all times during the last target adjustment cycle. The target adjustment cycle for calculating the corresponding data with different weight parameters is also different.

[0069] Furthermore, when the fuel cell vehicle power system is started, initial values ​​are assigned to the hydrogen consumption optimization weight, the charge state deviation optimization weight and the fuel cell variable load optimization weight, respectively, and the initial values ​​can be set and assigned at will.

[0070] The above-mentioned average values ​​and expected values ​​are calculated based on the real-time reading of the power battery state of charge (SOC) and fuel cell output power, as well as the SOC and fuel cell output power at all times since the fuel cell vehicle was started before the current moment stored in the controller.

[0071] Preferably, after obtaining the average value and expected value of the above data, based on the average value and expected value, a weight parameter corresponding to the target adjustment period is obtained, wherein there are three weight parameters obtained, including:

[0072] 1. Obtain the hydrogen consumption optimization weight corresponding to the target adjustment period, including:

[0073] Calculate the difference between the average value and the expected value of the power battery state of charge at all times during the previous target adjustment cycle;

[0074] Obtain the hydrogen consumption adjustment coefficient and the hydrogen consumption optimization weight value of the previous target adjustment cycle;

[0075] The hydrogen consumption optimization weight at the current moment is obtained according to the difference, the hydrogen consumption adjustment coefficient and the hydrogen consumption optimization weight value of the previous target adjustment cycle.

[0076] Specifically, when calculating the hydrogen consumption optimization weight, it is calculated based on the average value and expected value of the state of charge value of the power battery in the previous target adjustment cycle time period.

[0077] Furthermore, letters can be used to replace the relevant parameters in the above data to simplify the steps. 1 Refers to the hydrogen consumption optimization weight. The target adjustment period corresponding to the hydrogen consumption optimization weight is T 1 The average value of the state of charge SOC at all times during the previous target adjustment cycle is SOC avr , the expected value is SOC ds Therefore, in the optimization weight K of hydrogen consumption 1 The adjustment moments include:

[0078] Calculating SOC avr and SOC ds Deviation value: ΔSOC = SOC avr -SOC ds ;

[0079] Calculate the current K 1 Value, K 1 =K 1 ′+KP 1 ×ΔSOC, where K 1 ′ is the hydrogen consumption optimization weight value of the previous target adjustment cycle, KP 1 K is set 1The adjustment coefficient.

[0080] The specific energy control target corresponding to the hydrogen consumption optimization weight of the present application is to reduce the hydrogen consumption of the fuel cell. Specifically, under certain conditions, the hydrogen consumption of the fuel cell can be optimized according to the weight to improve the fuel economy of the entire vehicle.

[0081] 2. Obtaining the charge state deviation optimization weight corresponding to the target adjustment period, including:

[0082] Calculate the difference between the average value of the absolute value of the deviation between the state of charge and the expected value of the state of charge at all times in the previous target adjustment cycle time period and the expected value;

[0083] Obtaining the state of charge deviation adjustment parameter and the state of charge deviation optimization weight value of the previous target adjustment cycle;

[0084] The state of charge deviation optimization weight at the current moment is obtained according to the difference, the state of charge deviation adjustment parameter and the state of charge deviation optimization weight value of the previous target adjustment cycle.

[0085] Furthermore, letters can be used to replace the relevant parameters in the above data to simplify the steps. 2 Refers to the charge state deviation optimization weight, and the target adjustment period corresponding to the charge state deviation optimization weight is calculated as T 2 , the expected value of the state of charge SOC at all times during the previous target adjustment cycle is SOC ds Therefore, the absolute value of the deviation between the state of charge and the expected value of the state of charge at all times during the previous target adjustment cycle is |SOC-SOC ds |, whose average value is dSOC avr , whose expected value is dSOC ds , so the optimization weight K in the state of charge deviation 2 The adjustment moments include:

[0086] Calculating dSOC avr With dSOC ds Deviation value: ΔdSOC = dSOC avr -dSOC ds ;

[0087] Calculate the current K 2 Value, K 2 =K 2 ′+KP 2 ×ΔdSOC, where K 2 ′ The optimal weight value of the state of charge deviation in the previous target adjustment cycle, KP 2 K is set 2 The adjustment coefficient.

[0088] The specific energy control goal corresponding to the charge state deviation optimization weight of the present application is to reduce the fluctuation of the power battery SOC and try to balance the initial and final SOC values. Specifically, under certain conditions, the SOC of the power system is adjusted according to the weight to reduce the fluctuation of the SOC, enhance the stability of the battery power, and reduce the variation range of the power battery SOC.

[0089] 3. Obtaining the fuel cell load optimization weight corresponding to the target adjustment period, including:

[0090] Calculate the difference between the average value of the fuel cell power variation at all times during the last target adjustment cycle and the expected value;

[0091] Obtaining the fuel cell variable load adjustment coefficient and the fuel cell variable load optimization weight value of the previous target adjustment cycle;

[0092] The fuel cell variable load optimization weight at the current moment is obtained according to the difference, the fuel cell variable load adjustment coefficient and the fuel cell variable load optimization weight value of the previous target adjustment cycle.

[0093] Furthermore, letters can be used to replace the relevant parameters in the above data to simplify the steps. 3 Refers to the fuel cell variable load optimization weight. The target adjustment period corresponding to the fuel cell variable load optimization weight is calculated as T 3 The average value of the fuel cell power change at all times during the previous target adjustment cycle is dP avr The fuel cell power change is the absolute value of the difference between the fuel cell power at the corresponding moment and the fuel cell power at the previous moment. The expected value of the fuel cell power change is dP ds , so the charge state deviation optimization weight K 3 The adjustment moments include:

[0094] Calculating dP avr With dP ds Deviation value: ΔdP = dP avr -dP ds ;

[0095] Calculate the current K 3 Value, K 3 =K 3 ′+KP 3 ×ΔdP, where K 3 ′ is the fuel cell load optimization weight value of the previous target adjustment cycle, KP 3 K is set 3 The adjustment coefficient.

[0096] The energy control target corresponding to the fuel cell load variation optimization weights of the present application is to reduce the power fluctuation amplitude of the fuel cell to improve its durability performance. Specifically, under certain conditions, the fuel cell load variation is optimized according to the weights to suppress the drastic fluctuation of the fuel cell power and reduce the risk of rapid attenuation of the fuel cell service life.

[0097] Preferably, after obtaining the corresponding three weight parameters, the output power of the power system at each control moment is controlled according to the weight parameters, and the target power of the fuel cell that meets the current target cost condition is obtained according to the weight parameters, the power data and the state of charge data, including:

[0098] Determine the total power required by the fuel cell vehicle and the range of the power to be output by the fuel cell according to the power data and the state of charge data;

[0099] Determining the range of the power battery output power according to the total power demand of the fuel cell vehicle and the range of the power to be output by the fuel cell;

[0100] The final range of fuel cell output power at the current moment is determined by comprehensively considering the total power demand of the fuel cell vehicle and the range of power battery output power;

[0101] From the final range of fuel cell output power at the current moment, the target power of the fuel cell that meets the current target cost condition is determined according to the weight parameter.

[0102] Specifically, the current control moment driving motor power P is read in real time. m , vehicle electrical accessories power P acc , then the total vehicle power required P req The size of P req =P m +P acc According to the maximum / minimum output power of the fuel cell system obtained in real time, the fuel cell output power P fc The limit range is to be determined as [P fmin , P fmax ], where P fmin is the minimum output power of the fuel cell system, P fmax is the maximum output power of the fuel cell.

[0103] Determine the power battery output power P according to the maximum allowable charge / discharge power of the power battery read from the battery management system bat The limit range is [P bmin , P bmax ], where P bmin is the maximum allowable charging power, P bmax is the maximum allowable discharge power. bat=P req -P fc , comprehensive P fc and P req -P fc The current moment P is determined within the limit range of fc The final limit range is [P min , P max ].

[0104] The obtaining of the fuel cell target power that meets the current target cost condition includes: obtaining the fuel cell target power that meets the target cost condition determined based on the hydrogen consumption cost, the state of charge deviation cost, and the variable load cost.

[0105] Read the weight parameter K 1 , K 2 , K 3 The value of [P min , P max ] search within the range so that the total cost at the current moment y = f(P fc ) Take the smallest P fc Value, denoted as P fc * , where the total cost y is P fc Function: y = Q 1 +Q 2 +Q 3 . Where Q 1 is the hydrogen consumption cost function, Q 1 =K 1 ×(P fc -P min );Q 2 is the state of charge deviation cost function, Q 2 =K 2 ×|P req -P fc -c|, where the c value is related to the power battery SOC and the maximum charge / discharge power. The specific formula for calculating c is as follows:

[0106]

[0107] Q 3 is the variable load cost function, Where P fc ′ is the fuel cell output power at the last control moment read from the fuel cell controller, and E is set to a constant value, and its value range is (1, ∞).

[0108] Preferably, after obtaining the target power of the fuel cell system, the fuel cell system is controlled to output at the target power. However, fuel cell vehicles generally adopt a power supply mode of a combination of a fuel cell system and a power battery, that is, a hybrid power supply mode of a combination of a fuel cell and a power battery, and the output power of the power system depends on the output power of both the fuel cell and the power battery. It is understandable that in the hybrid power supply mode, based on the target power of the fuel cell system that has been obtained and the required power of the fuel cell vehicle, the final output power of the power battery can be determined.

[0109] Reference Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the fuel cell vehicle power system structure is shown in the figure. This embodiment uses a hydrogen fuel cell passenger car operating cycle simulation example, using a hydrogen fuel cell system as the main energy source and a power battery as the auxiliary energy source. The two are connected in parallel to supply power to the drive motor. Figure 4 , which illustrates a preferred flow chart of power control of the fuel cell system of the present application.

[0110] Since the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle is started, the weight parameter hydrogen consumption optimization weight K is set 1 , State of charge (SOC) deviation optimization weight K 2 、Fuel cell variable load optimization weight K 3 The initial value of the weight parameter corresponding to T 1 , T 2 , T 3 , SOC ds , dSOC ds , dP ds , KP 1 , KP 2 , KP 3 Equal assignment. Among them, K 1 , K 2 , K 3 The three weight parameters are adjusted independently, and outside the adjustment moment of each parameter, the parameter value remains the same as the previous moment.

[0111] The control system reads the SOC data in real time and inputs it into the K 1 The cycle adjustment module is 1 Read the integral of SOC over time once, and return the integral value to 0 immediately after reading. Divide the integral value read by the period T 1 , get SOC avr ; Calculate SOC deviation ΔSOC = SOC avr -SOC ds , and according to K 1 =K 1 ′+KP 1 ×ΔSOC, update K 1 value.

[0112] The control system reads the SOC in real time and subtracts the expected value from it to get the absolute value, which is then input into K 2 The cycle adjustment module is 2 The time is read once, the integral of the input over time is reset to zero immediately after reading, and the integral value read is divided by the period T 2 , get dSOC avr ; Calculate dSOC avr The difference between the expected value and ΔdSOC = dSOC avr -dSOC ds , and according to K 2 =K 2 ′+KP 2 ×ΔdSOC, update K 2 value.

[0113] The control system reads the fuel cell power in real time and calculates the difference between it and the fuel cell power at the previous moment. The difference is divided by the unit time and the absolute value is taken, and then input into K 3 The cycle adjustment module is 3 The time reads the integral of the input time once, and immediately resets the integral value to zero after reading. The integral value read is divided by the period T 3 , get dP avr ; Calculate dP avr With dP ds Deviation ΔdP = dP avr -dP ds , and according to K 3 =K 3 ′+KP 3 ×ΔdP, update K 3 value.

[0114] When calculating the target power that meets the target cost, it is necessary to first determine the total vehicle power required P at each control moment. req According to the minimum allowable output power P of the fuel cell fmin and the maximum permissible output power P fmax Determine the output power P of the hydrogen fuel cell fc Limit range [P fmin , P fmax ].

[0115] According to the SOC data read in real time by the power battery, determine the current maximum allowable charging power P of the power battery bmin And the maximum allowable discharge power P bmax , and then determine the power battery output power P bat The limit range [P bmin , P bmax ] to determine Preq -P fc scope of restrictions.

[0116] Comprehensive P fc and P req -P fc The output power P of the hydrogen fuel cell at the current moment is determined within the limit range of fc The final limit range is [P min , P max ].

[0117] Then according to the weight parameter value K of the corresponding moment read at the current moment 1 , K 2 , K 3 , determine the total cost function y = Q 1 +Q 2 +Q 3 The hydrogen consumption cost function, SOC deviation cost function and fuel cell variable load cost function are used to find the minimum point that satisfies the above functions within the output power limit of the hydrogen fuel cell. The minimum point is the target power value. The hydrogen fuel cell system controls the fuel cell to output at the target power.

[0118] In summary, this application determines different weight parameters and the limit range of each power value by reading the power data and state of charge data of the fuel cell vehicle in real time, and determines the final target power according to the cost function within the limit range. And the target power that is finally controlled is calculated based on the weight parameters read in real time and calculated in real time.
