[0013] In some embodiments of the present invention, determining the load current of the fuel cell based on the current hydrogen pressure and the hydrogen pressure setting value if the current hydrogen pressure is less than the hydrogen pressure setting value includes: calculating a first difference between the current hydrogen pressure and the minimum hydrogen pressure setting value; calculating a second difference between the hydrogen pressure setting value and the minimum hydrogen pressure setting value; calculating the output current ratio based on the first difference and the second difference; and obtaining the load current based on the output current ratio, the power request value of the upper-level power user, and the minimum preset current of the fuel cell.
[0014] The fuel cell system according to the present invention is briefly described below.
[0015] The fuel cell of the present invention includes a fuel cell and a control module. The control module controls the fuel cell and the control method described above controls the output of the fuel cell. Since the fuel cell of the present invention includes a fuel cell and a control module, the fuel cell can avoid operating under continuous hydrogen deficiency conditions, thereby improving the safety performance of the fuel cell.

[0018] The vehicle according to the present invention is equipped with the fuel cell system of the above embodiment. Since the vehicle of the present invention is equipped with the fuel cell system of the above embodiment, when the vehicle is used as the upper-level power user of the fuel cell, the fuel cell can be prevented from working under continuous hydrogen deficiency conditions, thereby improving the safety performance of the fuel cell and the driving safety of the vehicle, and ensuring that the hydrogen pressure on the anode side of the fuel cell is sufficient when the vehicle is in motion.
[0019] Additional aspects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description
[0020] The above and / or additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent and readily understood from the description of the embodiments taken in conjunction with the following drawings, in which:
[0021] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the control method for a fuel cell system according to the present invention;
[0022] Figure 2 This is a graph showing the hydrogen pressure setting and output current setting of the fuel cell system according to the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0023] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0024] The following is for reference. Figures 1-2 A control method for a fuel cell system according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.
[0025] The control method for the fuel cell system according to the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the control method includes the following steps:
[0026] S1. Obtain the operating status of the upper-level power-consuming object and determine the hydrogen demand based on that status. First, identify the upper-level power-consuming object. This object can be a vehicle, such as a car, ship, or aircraft, or more specifically, an electric motor in a vehicle, an electric motor in a ship, or other power-generating components. The upper-level power-consuming object can be in an operating or non-operating state. When the upper-level power-consuming object is in an operating state, the hydrogen demand can be calculated by assessing its usage, such as by determining the vehicle's current speed and power. The vehicle's current speed and power can be read via its CAN bus.
[0027] S2, Detect the current actual hydrogen supply at the fuel cell anode. The current actual hydrogen supply at the fuel cell anode can be calculated by detecting the parameters of the current actual hydrogen at the fuel cell anode, such as the current actual hydrogen content, current actual hydrogen density, and current actual hydrogen pressure. After calculating the current hydrogen stoichiometry, the actual hydrogen supply is further derived from the current hydrogen stoichiometry.
[0028] S3. Calculate the fuel cell load current based on the actual hydrogen supply and demand. First, compare the parameters of the actual hydrogen supply and demand to determine if there is a hydrogen shortage at the fuel cell anode. If there is no hydrogen shortage at the fuel cell anode, the preset load current is used as the fuel cell load current. If there is a hydrogen shortage at the fuel cell anode, the maximum current that the fuel cell can provide is used as the fuel cell load current.
[0029] In related technologies, the hydrogen pressure at the anode of existing fuel cells is usually controlled by a solenoid valve. When the fuel cell is used for a long time, the solenoid valve will age, and its ability to control the hydrogen pressure at the anode of the fuel cell will decrease. Therefore, there are problems such as the solenoid valve aging and inability to meet normal pressure control, which leads to insufficient hydrogen pressure on the anode side of the fuel cell, and in severe cases, it can cause hydrogen shortage in the fuel cell.
[0030] In short, according to the fuel cell control method of the present invention, the control method first obtains the hydrogen demand and the current actual hydrogen supply at the fuel cell anode, and then calculates the load current of the fuel cell based on the actual hydrogen supply and the hydrogen demand. Therefore, when the hydrogen pressure on the anode side of the fuel cell is insufficient, the load current of the fuel cell is controlled to avoid the fuel cell from operating under continuous hydrogen shortage conditions, improve the safety performance of the fuel cell, and ensure that the hydrogen pressure on the anode side of the fuel cell is sufficient during the operation of the vehicle.
[0031] In some embodiments of the present invention, obtaining the operating status of the upper-level power-consuming object and determining the hydrogen demand based on the operating status of the upper-level power-consuming object includes the following steps: obtaining the real-time power request of the upper-level power-consuming object; calculating the preset load current of the fuel cell based on the real-time power request; and calculating the hydrogen demand of the fuel cell based on the preset load current. The upper-level power-consuming object can be a motor in a power device such as a vehicle, or other electrical appliances in the power device, or the sum of the motor and other electrical appliances. When the upper-level power-consuming object is a vehicle, the real-time power request of the upper-level power-consuming object can be read through the CAN bus of the vehicle. The preset load current of the fuel cell is then calculated based on the read real-time power of the vehicle. The preset load current can be the load current under the current operating state of the vehicle. The hydrogen demand of the fuel cell is calculated based on the preset load current to obtain the hydrogen demand on the anode side of the fuel cell when the vehicle is in motion.
[0032] In some embodiments of the present invention, obtaining the operating status of a vehicle and determining the hydrogen demand based on that operating status includes the following steps: obtaining the requested power of the upper-level power user; calculating the preset load current of the fuel cell based on the requested power; and calculating the hydrogen demand of the fuel cell based on the preset load current. When the upper-level power user is a vehicle, the requested power can be read through the vehicle's CAN bus. The preset load current of the fuel cell is then calculated based on the read requested power. The preset load current can be the load current under the current operating status of the vehicle. The hydrogen demand of the fuel cell is calculated using the preset load current to obtain the hydrogen demand on the anode side of the fuel cell when the vehicle is in motion.
[0033] In some embodiments of the present invention, detecting the current actual hydrogen supply at the fuel cell anode includes the following steps: obtaining the current hydrogen pressure at the fuel cell anode and calculating the hydrogen supply based on the current hydrogen pressure. It should be explained that after obtaining the current hydrogen pressure at the fuel cell anode, the stoichiometric ratio of the current hydrogen is calculated based on the current hydrogen pressure, and then the actual hydrogen supply is further derived using the current stoichiometric ratio, thereby improving the accuracy of the actual hydrogen supply.
[0034] In some embodiments of the present invention, calculating the fuel cell load current based on the actual hydrogen supply and hydrogen demand includes the following steps: comparing the preset hydrogen supply at the anode with the actual hydrogen supply and obtaining the comparison result; selecting either to output using the preset load current or the maximum current of the fuel cell based on the comparison result. A comparison between the preset hydrogen pressure at the anode and the actual hydrogen pressure is used to determine whether there is a hydrogen shortage at the fuel cell anode. If there is no hydrogen shortage at the fuel cell anode, the preset load current continues to be used as the fuel cell load current; if there is a hydrogen shortage at the fuel cell anode, the maximum current that the fuel cell can currently provide is used as the fuel cell load current.
[0035] In some embodiments of the present invention, if the actual hydrogen supply is greater than the hydrogen demand, the output is based on a preset load current. It is understood that when the actual hydrogen supply is greater than the hydrogen demand, there is no hydrogen shortage at the anode of the fuel cell, and the preset load current continues to be used as the load current of the fuel cell for output. If the actual hydrogen supply is not greater than the hydrogen demand, the output is based on the maximum current. It is understood that when the actual hydrogen supply is less than or equal to the hydrogen demand, there is a hydrogen shortage at the anode of the fuel cell, and the maximum current that the fuel cell can currently provide is used as the load current of the fuel cell.
[0036] In some embodiments of the present invention, the control method further includes: obtaining the power request value of the upper-level power user, calculating a preset load current based on the power request value, determining a hydrogen pressure setting value corresponding to the preset load current based on the preset load current; if the current hydrogen pressure is less than the hydrogen pressure setting value, determining the load current of the fuel cell based on the current hydrogen pressure and the hydrogen pressure setting value.
[0037] In some embodiments of the present invention, the hydrogen pressure setting value can also be a hydrogen pressure setting range. If the current hydrogen pressure falls within the hydrogen pressure range or exceeds the set hydrogen pressure range, the preset load current is determined based on the current hydrogen pressure and the hydrogen pressure setting range.
[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 The curves showing the hydrogen pressure setting and output current setting of the fuel cell according to the present invention can be obtained through multiple experiments or preset according to certain operating conditions. The control method also includes calculating the preset load current 'a' of the upper-level power user based on the power request value of the upper-level power user. The upper-level power user can be a vehicle, and the requested power can be read through the CAN bus of the vehicle.
[0039] like Figure 2As shown in the figure, the curve represents the relationship between the preset load current 'a' of the fuel cell and the hydrogen pressure setting value obtained after testing. By obtaining the power request value of the power user, the preset load current 'a' corresponding to the power request value can be calculated. Furthermore, the hydrogen pressure setting value 'b' corresponding to the preset load current 'a' is determined through the curve. If the current hydrogen pressure 'c' is less than the hydrogen pressure setting value 'b', the load current 'I' of the fuel cell is determined based on the current hydrogen pressure 'c' and the hydrogen pressure setting value 'b'. The load current 'I' of the fuel cell obtained through multiple variables is more accurate, thus improving the accuracy of the fuel cell load current.
[0040] It should be noted that the minimum hydrogen pressure setpoint Smin is in the initial state of the fuel cell, i.e. Figure 2 The starting point of the curve, the hydrogen pressure value when the load current I is 0, can be understood as the hydrogen pressure of the fuel cell starting to increase from the minimum set hydrogen pressure value. Furthermore, the minimum preset current (Omin) of the fuel cell is the value at the initial state of the fuel cell... Figure 2 The starting point of the curve corresponds to the current value at the minimum setpoint of hydrogen pressure, Smin. This current value can be zero or non-zero.
[0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, determining the fuel cell load current based on the actual hydrogen pressure and the hydrogen pressure setting value b includes obtaining a first difference between the current hydrogen pressure c and the minimum hydrogen pressure setting value Smin, i.e., the first difference is c-Smin; obtaining a second difference between the hydrogen pressure setting value b and the minimum hydrogen pressure setting value Smin, i.e., the second difference is b-Smin; and then calculating the output current ratio based on the first and second differences, the output current ratio being (c-Smin) / (b-min). Based on the output current ratio, the current request value of the upper-level power user, and the minimum preset current of the fuel cell (Omin), the fuel cell load current I can be calculated using the formula: I = (c-Smin) / (b-Smin)*(a-Omin) + Omin. It is understood that the fuel cell load current obtained through the above formula is more accurate, thereby avoiding the fuel cell operating under continuously low hydrogen conditions.
[0042] The fuel cell system according to the present invention is briefly described below.
[0043] The fuel cell system according to the present invention includes a fuel cell and a control module. The control module controls the output of the fuel cell according to the above method to prevent the fuel cell from operating under continuous low hydrogen conditions, improve the safety performance of the fuel cell, and ensure sufficient hydrogen pressure on the anode side of the fuel cell when the vehicle is in motion.
[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, the control module includes a first module, a second module, and a third module. The first module acquires the operating status of the upper-level power-consuming object and obtains the hydrogen demand based on the status of the upper-level power-consuming object. First, it determines the operating status of the upper-level power-consuming object, which can be in a stopped state or an operating state. When the upper-level power-consuming object is in an operating state, the hydrogen demand can be further obtained by acquiring the current power of the upper-level power-consuming object. The upper-level power-consuming object can be a vehicle, and the current speed and current power of the vehicle can be read through the vehicle's CAN bus.
[0045] The second module detects the current actual hydrogen supply at the fuel cell anode. The current actual hydrogen supply at the fuel cell anode can be calculated by detecting the parameters of the current actual hydrogen at the fuel cell anode, such as the current actual hydrogen content, current actual hydrogen density, and current actual hydrogen pressure. After calculating the current hydrogen stoichiometry, the actual hydrogen supply is further derived from the current hydrogen stoichiometry.
[0046] The third module calculates the fuel cell's load current based on the actual hydrogen supply detected by the second module and the hydrogen demand obtained by the first module. It compares the actual hydrogen supply and demand parameters to determine if there is a hydrogen shortage at the fuel cell anode. If there is no hydrogen shortage, the preset load current is used as the fuel cell's load current. If there is a hydrogen shortage, the maximum current that the fuel cell can currently provide is used as the fuel cell's load current.
[0047] The following is a brief description of the vehicle according to the present invention.
[0048] The vehicle according to the present invention is equipped with the fuel cell of the above embodiment. Since the vehicle of the present invention is equipped with the fuel cell of the above embodiment, when the vehicle is used as the upper power user of the fuel cell, the fuel cell can be prevented from working under continuous low hydrogen conditions, thereby improving the safety performance of the fuel cell and the driving safety of the vehicle, and ensuring that the hydrogen pressure on the anode side of the fuel cell is sufficient when the vehicle is in motion.
[0049] To achieve the above embodiments, the present invention also proposes a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program thereon.
