[0052] The specific embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0053] It should be noted that all actions involving the acquisition of signals, information, or data in this disclosure are carried out in compliance with the relevant data protection laws and policies of the country where the location is situated, and with authorization from the owner of the relevant device.

[0054] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining parameters of a fuel cell according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 1 As shown, when applied to a big data platform, this method includes the following steps:

[0055] In step S11, multiple operating data of the vehicle within a set time range are acquired.

[0056] For example, in the embodiments described in this disclosure, the vehicle is a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, using hydrogen as its primary energy source. The fuel cell converts hydrogen and oxygen into electrical energy, which drives an electric motor to propel the vehicle. A big data platform is a system integrating technologies and services that can process, store, analyze, and manage large amounts of data. It supports data collection, cleaning, integration, analysis, and visualization. Therefore, the operating data of each vehicle connected to the big data platform can be periodically collected, cleaned, integrated, analyzed, and visualized. It is understood that the state of the vehicle's fuel cell, energy conversion rate, and degradation rate may vary significantly due to different external environments within different time intervals. Therefore, the multiple operating data can be multiple operating data points for the vehicle within a set time range; for example, the set time can be one month, one quarter, one year, etc. For instance, at the end of each quarter, the big data platform can trigger the acquisition of multiple operating data points for that quarter, and clean, integrate, analyze, and visualize these multiple operating data points respectively. The cleaned, integrated, analyzed, and visualized operating data and results can also be stored in the big data platform. Furthermore, the present disclosure allows multiple operational data points for each vehicle to be stored in a database associated with a big data platform. For example, each data table in the database can store multiple operational data points for different vehicles, and the row values ​​of the data tables can be used to represent one operational data point, while the column values ​​can be used to represent one or more parameters.

[0057] In one possible implementation, if multiple operational data of a vehicle for a certain quarter are to be obtained, a set of vehicle operational data in a big data platform can be obtained before obtaining the multiple operational data. Based on the data collection time corresponding to each operational data in this operational data set, it can be determined whether each operational data spans quarters. If cross-quarter data exists, it is divided according to quarters to obtain operational data sets for different quarters. Finally, the multiple operational data of the vehicle are obtained from the target quarter set.

[0058] Furthermore, each operational data point may include: fuel cell stack output voltage, fuel cell stack output current, fuel cell stack output power, fuel cell operating status code, vehicle operating time, data acquisition time, etc. It is understood that the parameters for each of these operational data points are not all the parameters for that specific operational data point. It is understood that in this operational data point, fuel cell stack output voltage × fuel cell stack output current = fuel cell stack output power; this fuel cell stack power can be calculated by the vehicle and reported to the big data platform, or it can be calculated in the big data platform based on the fuel cell stack output voltage and output current reported by the vehicle. Similarly, other parameters that need to be calculated in this operational data point can be calculated by the vehicle or by the big data platform; this disclosure does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0059] Optionally, after acquiring the multiple operating data, the method further includes deleting null values ​​and abnormal 0 values ​​from the multiple operating data, and deleting operating data in which the power battery is in a charging state.

[0060] In step S12, the target current of the vehicle's fuel cell is determined using the multiple operating data.

[0061] In step S13, the decay rate and decay speed of the fuel cell are determined based on the target current and the multiple operating data.

[0062] For example, calculating the degradation rate and degradation speed of a fuel cell is crucial for the performance evaluation and prediction of fuel cell systems. Firstly, by calculating the degradation rate and degradation speed, the performance of the fuel cell system can be evaluated, helping vehicle owners and researchers understand the stability and long-term performance of the vehicle's fuel cell system, providing theoretical and data support for subsequent research and development. Secondly, the degradation rate and degradation speed can also help predict the lifespan of the vehicle's fuel cell system, facilitating periodic maintenance and replacement. Thirdly, the degradation rate and degradation speed also help monitor the performance of the fuel cell system in real time, promptly identifying and adjusting any problems to maintain the fuel cell system in optimal operating condition. Therefore, calculating the degradation rate and degradation speed of a fuel cell is essential for the performance analysis, lifespan prediction, and optimization of fuel cell systems, contributing to improved system reliability and durability.

[0063] The above technical solution acquires multiple operating data points of the vehicle within a set time range; the target current of the vehicle's fuel cell is determined using these multiple operating data points; and the degradation rate and degradation speed of the fuel cell are determined based on the target current and the multiple operating data points. By calculating the degradation rate and degradation speed of the vehicle's fuel cell within the set time range, the degradation state of the vehicle's fuel cell at different times can be monitored, and theoretical support can be provided for subsequent fuel cell operation optimization strategies.

[0064] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining parameters of a fuel cell according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 2 As shown, each of the multiple operating data includes: fuel cell stack output power. Step S12 includes the following steps:

[0065] In step S121, the power range to which each operating data belongs is determined based on the output power of the fuel cell stack in each operating data; wherein each power range corresponds to at least one operating data.

[0066] For example, the output power of a fuel cell stack is a dynamically changing value. The degradation rate and degradation speed of the fuel cell may also differ when it operates in different power ranges. Therefore, different fuel cells can be divided into multiple power ranges based on the rated power of the vehicle's fuel cell. Thus, the power range described in each operating data point can be determined based on the fuel cell stack output power in each operating data point. Therefore, each power range can correspond to at least one operating data point.

[0067] For example, when the rated power of the fuel cell is 15 kW, the rated power of the vehicle fuel cell can be divided into three different power ranges: the first power range is (0-5 kW), the second power range is (5-10 kW), and the third power range is (10-15 kW). If the output power of the fuel cell stack in any operating data is 6 kW, then the operating data belongs to the second power range; if the output power of the fuel cell stack in any operating data is 4.5 kW, then the operating data belongs to the first power range; and if the output power of the fuel cell stack in any operating data is 12 kW, then the operating data belongs to the third power range.

[0068] It is understood that the power range can also be a preset range in a big data platform. Therefore, this disclosure does not limit the number of power ranges.

[0069] In step S122, the target current corresponding to the power range is determined based on the at least one operating data corresponding to the power range.

[0070] For example, typically, as a fuel cell is used, the fuel cell current changes accordingly. Fuel cells with excessively high degradation rates and rates often experience a decrease in the fuel cell stack output current due to degradation. Therefore, the target current for each power range can be determined by the fuel cell stack output current of at least one operating data point corresponding to each power range.

[0071] Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining parameters of a fuel cell according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 3 As shown, each of the multiple operating data includes: fuel cell stack output current. Step S12 includes the following steps:

[0072] In step S1221, the fuel cell stack output current that appears most frequently is determined from the at least one operating data corresponding to the power range.

[0073] In step S1222, the fuel cell current that appears most frequently in the power range is taken as the target current for the power range.

[0074] Optionally, in one possible embodiment, the target current can be the fuel cell stack output current that appears most frequently in at least one operating data point corresponding to each power range, that is, the mode of the output currents of at least one fuel cell stack can be used as the target current. In another possible embodiment, the median of the output currents of at least one fuel cell stack can be used as the target current, or the average value of the output currents of at least one fuel cell stack can also be used as the target current.

[0075] Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining parameters of a fuel cell according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 4 As shown, each of the multiple operating data includes: fuel cell stack output power, fuel cell stack output current, average single cell voltage of the fuel cell, and fuel cell operating time. Step S13 includes the following steps:

[0076] In step S131, at least one target operating data is determined based on the fuel cell stack output current and the target current of each operating data in the at least one operating data corresponding to the power range.

[0077] For example, at least one target operating data corresponding to a power range can be determined based on the fuel cell stack output current and the target current of each operating data in at least one operating data corresponding to any power range. For instance, when the fuel cell stack output current and the target current of any operating data in at least one operating data corresponding to the power range are equal, the operating data can be used as a target operating data corresponding to the power range.

[0078] Optionally, for each of the at least one operating data corresponding to the power range, if the difference between the fuel cell stack output current and the target current of the operating data is within a set range, the operating data is determined as the target operating data.

[0079] For example, if the difference between the fuel cell stack output current and the target current of any one of the operating data in any power range is within a specified range, the operating data can be used as the target operating data for that power range. Similarly, each power range may have at least one corresponding target data.

[0080] Optionally, after determining at least one target operating data corresponding to any power range, to avoid the impact of abnormal values ​​in the fuel cell stack output current in the at least one target operating data on the degradation rate of the fuel cell in that power range, target operating data with abnormal fuel cell stack output current can be filtered out from the at least one target operating data. For example, non-continuous target operating data with other target operating data can be filtered out from the at least one target operating data, wherein the non-continuous target operating data refers to the at least one target operating data that does not contain operating data immediately preceding or immediately following the target operating data among the plurality of operating data.

[0081] In step S132, the degradation rate of the fuel cell in the power range is determined based on the average single cell voltage of the fuel cell in each target operating data.

[0082] For example, in a fuel cell, the single-cell voltage refers to the voltage output of a single fuel cell unit. Over time, the performance of a fuel cell unit may degrade, causing the single-cell voltage to change accordingly. Therefore, the degradation rate of a fuel cell in any given power range can be determined by the average single-cell voltage of the fuel cell in each of at least one target operating data point corresponding to any given power range.

[0083] Alternatively, the degradation rate of the fuel cell in this power range can be determined using the following formula:

[0084]

[0085] Where μ represents the decay rate of the fuel cell in this power range;

[0086] K represents the amount of data for the at least one target operation;

[0087] This represents the average single-cell voltage of the fuel cell from the first J target operating data points, arranged in ascending order of fuel cell operating time for at least one target operating data point; U j This represents the average single-cell voltage of the fuel cell in the j-th target operating data among the first J target operating data;

[0088] U represents the average value of the average single-cell voltage of the fuel cell in the last I target operating data sets, arranged in ascending order of fuel cell operating time for the at least one target operating data set; i This represents the average single-cell voltage of the fuel cell in the i-th running data among the subsequent I target running data.

[0089] In step S133, the degradation rate of the fuel cell in the power range is determined based on the average single cell voltage and the fuel cell operating time in each target operating data.

[0090] For example, the degradation rate of a fuel cell is a parameter used to measure the relationship between fuel cell performance and time. The degradation rate of a fuel cell is interdependent with the average cell voltage of the fuel cell. Therefore, the degradation rate of the fuel cell in any power range can be determined based on the average cell voltage and the fuel cell operating time in at least one target operating data corresponding to any power range.

[0091] Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining parameters of a fuel cell according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 5 As shown, step S133 includes the following steps:

[0092] In step S1331, the average single cell voltage of the fuel cell and the working time of the fuel cell in each target operating data are linearly fitted to determine the fitting function.

[0093] In step S1332, the slope of the fitted function is used as the decay rate of the fuel cell in that power range.

[0094] For example, the fuel cell operating time of the at least one target operating data can be used as the independent variable and the average single-cell voltage of the fuel cell as the dependent variable for linear fitting. After determining the fitting function, the slope of the fitting function can be used as the degradation rate of the fuel cell in that power range. The linear fitting method may include the least squares method, the step descent method, etc., and this disclosure does not limit it.

[0095] Optionally, the big data platform can store multiple operating data for each vehicle associated with the big data platform, and automatically determine the decay rate and decay speed of the fuel cell of each vehicle in each power range using the method described in the embodiments of this disclosure when a specified time is reached (such as the end of each month, the end of each quarter, etc.). The decay rate and decay speed of each power range calculated for each vehicle can be stored in the big data platform, and the data of at least one vehicle can be automatically visualized on the visualization interface of the big data platform using data visualization analysis methods such as line graphs, scatter plots, and tables. It is understood that this disclosure does not limit the way the data is displayed.

[0096] Figure 6 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining parameters of a fuel cell according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the method also includes the following steps:

[0097] In step S14, the multiple operating data, attenuation rate, and attenuation speed of at least one vehicle are obtained from the big data platform according to the filtering conditions; wherein, the filtering conditions include at least one of the following: quarter, year, custom time interval, vehicle identification number, and vehicle announcement number.

[0098] In step S15, the plurality of operating data, the attenuation rate, and the attenuation speed of the at least one vehicle are visualized.

[0099] For example, the big data platform may include a visualization interface for analyzing and displaying the operating data of one or more vehicles, as well as the decay rate and decay speed in different power ranges, so that staff can intuitively observe changes in vehicle data. Furthermore, the visualization interface can also display data based on user-input filtering conditions, which may include one or more of the following: vehicle identification number, vehicle announcement number, quarter, month, data to be displayed, time range, etc. This disclosure does not limit the filtering conditions. Moreover, if the big data platform stores the decay rate and decay speed of a vehicle's fuel cell in different power ranges within the filtered time range, the decay rate and decay speed of the vehicle can be calculated using the method described in the embodiments of this disclosure, and then visualized after the calculation is completed.

[0100] For example, the degradation rate of all vehicles with the same announcement number can be used as the vertical axis, the fuel cell running time as the horizontal axis, and the degradation rate can be displayed as a bubble chart. Different power ranges can be distinguished by color, which can quickly and effectively present the degradation rate density and distribution.

[0101] The above technical solution acquires multiple operating data points of the vehicle within a set time range; the target current of the vehicle's fuel cell is determined using these multiple operating data points; and the degradation rate and degradation speed of the fuel cell are determined based on the target current and the multiple operating data points. By calculating the degradation rate and degradation speed of the vehicle's fuel cell within the set time range, the degradation state of the vehicle's fuel cell at different times can be monitored, and theoretical support can be provided for subsequent fuel cell operation optimization strategies.
