Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of fuel cells for energy vehicles, and in particular to a fuel cell temperature control method, device, equipment and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] Fuel cell vehicles have attracted widespread attention from domestic and foreign universities and enterprises due to their advantages such as no pollution, zero emissions, high efficiency and fast fuel filling speed. Compared with fuel engines and power batteries, fuel cells have higher requirements for operating temperature, and the thermal management system has greater difficulty in controlling their temperature. In the actual working process, the temperature of the fuel cell is controlled by controlling the coolant temperature. The inlet temperature of the fuel cell coolant is related to the power generated by the fuel cell, and the inlet temperature needs to be controlled at a certain temperature value, and the temperature difference between the coolant outlet temperature and the inlet temperature is also controlled at a certain temperature difference value. If the temperature control effect of the fuel cell is poor, it will affect the performance output of the fuel cell and accelerate the attenuation of the fuel cell, so temperature control is a very important technology for the fuel cell system.

[0003] Since the temperature of the fuel cell coolant has a time lag, controlling the inlet and outlet temperatures by controlling the actuator of the thermal management system according to the real-time temperature error will result in poor control accuracy. Therefore, a combined feedforward and feedback control is usually used to improve the temperature control accuracy and response speed. For example, a proton exchange membrane fuel cell temperature control method proposed in patent CN115966729 A obtains the final control value of the actuator by weighted processing of the feedback control value and the feedforward control value, or a highly adaptable fuel cell thermal management control method and system proposed in patent CN 116053534 A improves the temperature control accuracy by feedforward. However, the above-mentioned patents do not consider the impact on the energy consumption, i.e., the life of the thermal management system under the premise of controlling the fuel cell temperature, which results in high system energy consumption and short life.

[0027] The following will describe the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and the details in this specification can also be modified or changed in various ways based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments are only for illustrating the present invention, not for limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic illustrations of the basic concept of the present invention, and thus the drawings only show components related to the present invention rather than being drawn according to the number, shape and size of components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the type, quantity and proportion of each component may be changed arbitrarily, and the component layout may also be more complicated.

[0029] In the following description, numerous details are discussed to provide a more thorough explanation of the embodiments of the present invention. However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the embodiments of the present invention can be implemented without these specific details. In other embodiments, well-known structures and devices are shown in the form of block diagrams rather than in detail to avoid making the embodiments of the present invention difficult to understand.

[0030] First of all, it should be noted that since the temperature of the fuel cell coolant has a time lag, controlling the inlet and outlet temperatures by controlling the actuator of the thermal management system based on the real-time temperature error will result in poor control accuracy, so feedforward and feedback joint control is usually used to improve the temperature control accuracy and response speed. As the fuel cell decays, at the same output power, more heat will be generated, and the action of the temperature control actuator will change. Therefore, in order to ensure the temperature control accuracy and response speed during long-term use, the feedforward and feedback control parameters need to be adjusted according to the degree of decay. And when the control accuracy is met, the control should be further optimized to reduce the energy consumption of the thermal management system and increase the life of the actuator.

[0031] PID (Proportional Integral Derivative) is one of the earliest developed control strategies, which uses proportional, integral and differential control. It is widely used in industrial process control due to its simple algorithm, good robustness and high reliability. Its working principle is to form a control deviation based on the given value and the actual output value, and to control the controlled object by linearly combining the deviation into a control quantity according to the proportion, integral and differential.

The computer device 102 is configured with corresponding target temperature values, target temperature difference values, and related preset correction rules and algorithms, etc., which can be used to calculate the control signal of the target fuel cell based on the various temperature parameters collected by the data acquisition device 101 and the pre-configured target parameters and correction rules and algorithms, including the inlet temperature feedforward control signal, the inlet temperature feedback control signal, the inlet and outlet temperature difference feedforward control signal, and the inlet and outlet temperature difference feedback control signal, so as to adjust the temperature of the target fuel cell. In addition, it should be noted that the computer device 102 can be at least one of a desktop graphics processing unit (GPU) computer, a GPU computing cluster, a neural network computer, etc., or an intelligent processor integrated in the current vehicle, and the present application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0036] Specifically, the operation of the water pump causes the coolant to flow from the inlet to the outlet of the fuel cell. The water pump has the function of adjusting the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the fuel cell coolant, which then flows into the fuel cell through the external thermal management system. The inlet and outlet of the fuel cell are respectively equipped with a coolant temperature sensor to collect the inlet and outlet coolant temperatures of the fuel cell. The function of the four-way valve is to control the flow of the coolant to the two branches of the large circulation and the small circulation. The radiator plays a cooling role. The four-way valve radiator has the function of adjusting the inlet temperature of the fuel cell. The function of the intercooler is to cool the air entering the fuel cell.

[0042] Figure 4 1 is a flow chart of fuel cell inlet coolant temperature control according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application.

[0043] In one embodiment of the present application, a fuel cell is taken as a target fuel cell, and the fuel cell inlet coolant temperature is taken as an example. In the process of controlling the fuel cell inlet coolant temperature, the steps include:

Based on this, the temperature control error is obtained, and the formula is as follows:
