For example, some operations / steps can be decomposed, and some operations / steps can be combined or partially combined, so the actual execution order may change according to actual conditions.

[0053] See also Figure 1 , shows a flow chart of the adaptive energy management method in an embodiment of the present application.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, according to the first aspect of the embodiment of the present application, an adaptive energy management method is provided, which is applied to a fuel cell vehicle, including but not limited to being implemented by steps S101 to S102:

[0055] Step S101. When a change in the characteristic curve of the fuel cell stack is detected, a high efficiency interval of the fuel cell system is recalculated, where the high efficiency interval is a power output interval corresponding to when the efficiency in the characteristic curve is higher than a first threshold value;

[0056] Step S102: Send the high-efficiency interval to a vehicle controller so that the vehicle controller can adaptively allocate the output power of the power battery system and the fuel cell system according to the high-efficiency interval.

[0057] In step S101, as the use time of the fuel cell stack changes, the state of the fuel cell stack itself may also change, which may cause the high efficiency range of the fuel cell stack to change. Therefore, if the high efficiency range of the characteristic curve under a fixed state is still used to control the output power of the fuel cell stack, on the one hand, the power that the fuel cell stack can output may not work in the original working range, and on the other hand, using an output power that does not match the state of the fuel cell stack itself may cause damage to the fuel cell stack, thereby shortening the service life of the fuel cell stack.

[0058] Based on the above, in one implementation of step S101, the fuel cell controller is used to monitor the change of the characteristic curve caused by the change of the state of the fuel cell stack itself. Among them, the fuel cell controller FCU (Fuel-Cel l Engine Control Unit) includes control software and hardware, is the core of the hydrogen fuel cell engine system and the fuel cell vehicle control, is the control brain of the fuel cell engine system, can realize function testing, fault testing, bus diagnosis testing and automatic testing, and can be used in fuel cell vehicles such as hydrogen energy vehicles.

[0059] The characteristic curve refers to a curve constructed by mapping the efficiency of the fuel cell stack and the output current and voltage data. For example, the current and voltage data output by the fuel cell stack are taken as independent variables, and the efficiency of the fuel cell stack is taken as the dependent variable. The spline curve between the current and voltage data and the efficiency is obtained by fitting, which is the characteristic curve.

[0060] The first threshold refers to the minimum efficiency corresponding to the high efficiency range of the fuel cell system. That is, when the output efficiency of the fuel cell system is higher than the first threshold, the fuel cell system operates in the high efficiency range.

[0061] It should be understood that if the fuel cell controller monitors the characteristic curve of the fuel cell stack at different time points, then each monitoring time point should correspond to at least one characteristic curve, and each characteristic curve has a corresponding high-efficiency interval, that is, the power output interval corresponding to the efficiency being higher than the threshold in the characteristic curve.

[0062] In some implementations of step S101, when a change in the characteristic curve of the fuel cell stack is detected, the high efficiency range of the fuel cell system is recalculated, including:

[0063] Step S1011. Obtaining voltage and current data output by the fuel cell stack at each monitoring point, and using the voltage and current data to construct a characteristic curve corresponding to each monitoring point;

[0064] Step S1012: If the change amplitude of the characteristic curve at the later monitoring point compared with the characteristic curve at the earlier monitoring point is greater than a second threshold, the high efficiency interval corresponding to the characteristic curve at the later monitoring point is calculated as a new high efficiency interval of the fuel cell system.

[0065] In step S1011, the monitoring points may be at fixed intervals, for example, the voltage and current data output by the fuel cell stack may be collected every 1 hour, one day, one week, one month, etc., and a characteristic curve may be constructed based on the voltage and current data; the monitoring points may also be continuous time points, that is, the voltage and current data output by the fuel cell stack may be continuously collected, and a characteristic curve may be constructed based on the voltage and current data. The monitoring period setting of each monitoring point may be set according to actual needs, and is not limited here.

[0066] In step S1011, when constructing the characteristic curve, only the current data output by the fuel cell stack can be used as the independent variable, or only the voltage data output by the fuel cell stack can be used as the independent variable, or both the voltage data and the current data output by the fuel cell stack can be used as independent variables, which is not limited here.

[0067] For example: when using the current data output by the fuel cell stack as an independent variable, the stack efficiencies corresponding to 0A, 50A, 100A, 150A, 200A, 250A, 300A, and 350A can be calculated respectively, and then the corresponding high-efficiency range can be obtained, for example, the high-efficiency range is the power output range corresponding to an efficiency greater than 50%.

[0068] In step S1012 , the second threshold refers to the minimum variation range of the characteristic curve at the subsequent monitoring point compared with the characteristic curve at the previous monitoring point.

[0069] Since each monitoring point has a corresponding characteristic curve, if the characteristic curve at the later monitoring point changes compared to the characteristic curve at the earlier monitoring point, that is, the amplitude of the change is greater than the second threshold, it means that the state of the fuel cell stack itself has also changed, resulting in the corresponding high-efficiency interval may also have changed. Therefore, it is necessary to recalculate the high-efficiency interval corresponding to the characteristic curve at the later monitoring point so that the current high-efficiency interval can match the state of the fuel cell stack itself. On the one hand, it can avoid the power that the fuel cell stack can output from may not be able to work in the original working range. On the other hand, it can avoid damage to the fuel cell stack by using an output power that does not match the state of the fuel cell stack itself, thereby shortening the service life of the fuel cell stack.

[0070] In some embodiments of step S102, the output power of the power battery system and the fuel cell system is adaptively distributed through the vehicle controller. The vehicle controller VCU (Vehicle control unit) is the central control unit of the fuel cell vehicle and is the core of the entire control system. It can manage the energy of the fuel cell system and the power battery system so that the power system of the vehicle works in the optimal state.

[0071] Adaptive allocation means that when the characteristic curve of the fuel cell stack changes, resulting in a change in the high-efficiency range, the output power of the power battery system and the fuel cell system is automatically adjusted, so that the vehicle's power system operates in the optimal state, thereby increasing the service life of the fuel cell stack and the vehicle's range.

[0072] In some implementations of step S102, when adaptively allocating the output power of the power battery system and the fuel cell system according to the high efficiency range, the vehicle controller is used to:

[0073] Step S1021. According to the high efficiency interval, determining the target output power corresponding to when the fuel cell system operates in the high efficiency interval;

[0074] Step S1022: Obtain the power demand of the entire vehicle, and determine the output power of the power battery system according to the difference between the power demand of the entire vehicle and the target output power of the fuel cell system.

[0075] In step S1021, since the high-efficiency interval refers to the power output interval corresponding to when the efficiency in the characteristic curve is higher than the first threshold value, the corresponding target output power can be determined after calculating the new high-efficiency interval. Under this target output power, the fuel cell stack can not only maintain high-efficiency operation, but also will not cause damage to the battery due to the mismatch between the output power and its own state, thereby extending the service life of the fuel cell stack.

[0076] In step S1022, the vehicle power demand refers to the total power required during the operation of the fuel cell vehicle. The vehicle power demand is equal to the sum of the output power of the fuel cell system and the output power of the power battery system. After the target output power of the fuel cell system is determined, the output power of the power battery system can be determined by the difference between the vehicle power demand and the target output power of the fuel cell system.

[0077] Based on the above disclosed content, in the embodiment of the present application, the fuel cell stack status is automatically monitored by the fuel cell controller FCU during the operation of the vehicle. When the fuel cell stack characteristic curve changes due to the usage time, the fuel cell controller FCU recalculates the high-efficiency range of the fuel cell system and feeds back to the vehicle controller VCU. The power distribution between the fuel cell system and the power battery system is adjusted through the vehicle controller VCU to ensure that the fuel cell always operates in the high-efficiency range during the driving process of the vehicle, thereby extending the service life of the fuel cell system and improving the cruising range of the fuel cell vehicle.

[0078] The following describes an embodiment of the device of the present application, which can be used to execute the method in the above embodiment of the present application. For details not disclosed in the embodiment of the device of the present application, please refer to the above embodiment of the method of the present application.
