Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of fuel cell technology, and in particular to a control method and system for limiting high potential of a fuel cell. BACKGROUND

[0002] Under the dual pressure of energy and environment, fuel cell vehicles have become an important industrial development direction for future vehicles. High potential can cause the degradation of cathode catalyst, which is considered to be the main factor causing the performance degradation of the stack. When the stack is at high potential, the carbon material in the carrier is easily oxidized, thereby weakening the binding force between the platinum particles (pt) and the carbon carrier, causing the platinum particles to fall off, ultimately leading to the dissolution of platinum particles in the electrolyte, affecting the catalytic performance of the stack. More seriously, the platinum particles after falling off combine with the electrolyte or the binder, causing the resistance of the electrolyte to increase.

[0003] The prior art generally avoids the operation of the fuel cell under open circuit conditions, or increases the discharge resistance to suppress the occurrence of high potential during the operation of the fuel cell, which is limited in use, requires additional hardware devices, and cannot avoid the gradual decline in performance of the fuel cell over time. SUMMARY

[0004] In view of the above analysis, the embodiments of the present application aim to provide a control method for limiting the high potential of a fuel cell to solve the problem that the prior art cannot effectively and safely avoid the occurrence of high potential during the operation of the fuel cell.

[0005] In one aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a control method for limiting the high potential of a fuel cell, comprising the following steps:

[0006] When the fuel cell is in an operating state, the output current of the fuel cell is obtained in real time, and it is determined whether the fuel cell has a high potential risk; if so, the next step is performed;

[0007] The average single piece voltage of the fuel cell is obtained;

[0008] It is determined whether the average single piece voltage of the fuel cell exceeds a high potential judgment threshold V cell If so, the air flow into the stack is reduced and then identified again, otherwise, the next step is directly performed;

[0009] The duration for which the average single piece voltage of the fuel cell maintains the voltage at the end of the identification of the previous step is identified, and after the duration reaches a calibration stable time T1, control information that the high potential risk of the fuel cell has been eliminated is output.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the above technical solutions are as follows: a scheme for limiting high potential of a fuel cell by controlling air flow into the stack is proposed for the first time. When the fuel cell engine is working, once there is a high potential risk of the fuel cell, and any single cell of the fuel cell stack is monitored by a fuel cell single piece voltage inspection device to be at a high potential point, the oxygen amount participating in the electrochemical reaction per unit time is reduced by a low air metering ratio (closed loop control) to reduce the single piece voltage, avoid damage caused by the single piece of the fuel cell stack working at a high potential point, and realize the clamping potential function. While solving the high potential, no additional hardware devices are needed, and the performance of the engine will not be reduced, and the adaptability is better than that of the existing technology.

[0011] Based on the further improvement of the above method, the control method further comprises the following steps:

[0012] The air flow at the moment when the high potential risk is eliminated is obtained as the initial value of the air flow into the stack when the output current of the fuel cell reaches the output current.

[0013] Further, the step of obtaining the output current of the fuel cell in real time when the fuel cell is in a running state and determining whether the fuel cell has a high potential risk further comprises:

[0014] Obtain the real-time state information of the fuel cell to identify whether the fuel cell is in a running state; if yes, execute the next step, otherwise, continue to identify the running state at the next moment;

[0015] Obtain the output current of the fuel cell at the current moment;

[0016] Identify whether the output current of the fuel cell is greater than or equal to the target current; if yes, determine that the fuel cell has a high potential risk, otherwise, determine that the fuel cell does not have a high potential risk.

[0017] Further, the step of reducing the air flow into the stack further comprises:

[0018] Obtain the average single piece voltage of the fuel cell at the current moment;

[0019] According to the average single piece voltage of the fuel cell, the target air flow F2 into the stack at the next moment is determined by the following formula,

[0020]

[0021] In the formula, V avg is the average single piece voltage of the fuel cell at the current moment, V cell is a high potential judgment threshold, K is a single piece voltage conversion flow coefficient, T is a controller scheduling time, and F1 is an initial value of the air flow into the stack;

[0022] The control of the air flow into the stack is reduced to the target air flow F2.

[0023] Further, the high potential determination threshold V cell is 0.82-0.85V.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the control method for limiting the high potential of the fuel cell has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] 1. When the single-cell voltage of the fuel cell meets the set potential requirement, the high potential risk elimination controller records the current air flow into the stack as the target air flow initial value for the next regulation, thereby solving the adaptive problem of the clamped potential.

[0026] 2. The method is suitable for the prediction and correction of the high potential after the current is stabilized when the fuel cell engine is working.

[0027] 3. The method is simple, the control effect is good, and it is beneficial to improve the service life of the fuel cell stack and the user experience.

[0028] On the other hand, the embodiment of the present application provides a control system for limiting the high potential of the fuel cell using the above method, comprising a fuel cell stack, an air flow regulation device, a DC-DC converter, a current monitoring device, a fuel cell single-cell voltage inspection device and a controller; wherein,
