Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electrolytic cell accelerated testing, and in particular to a PEM electrolytic cell accelerated stress testing system and method based on multi-stress coupling. Background Art

[0002] The performance degradation of PEM electrolyzers is a complex process involving multiple factors such as catalyst failure, proton membrane decomposition, and metal oxide formation. In order to deeply understand the performance changes of PEM electrolyzers under different stress conditions, accelerated stress testing has become an important research method. By simulating extreme operating conditions in actual operation, accelerated stress testing can quickly reveal the failure mechanism of PEM electrolyzers and provide data support for optimizing design and improving system durability.

[0003] For example, the existing Chinese patent application with publication number CN118246197A discloses a method and device for modeling the attenuation of a PEM electrolyzer under random variable power operation, including using a drift Wiener random process to describe the random volatility and cumulative growth law of the performance degradation rate of a PEMWE battery stack under variable power accelerated stress, and establishing an accelerated performance degradation model; based on the accelerated performance degradation model, considering the influence of power change frequency, change amplitude and average operating power on the degradation rate, a multi-stress parameter acceleration model is established; based on the multi-stress parameter acceleration model, the life of the battery stack under different cyclic stresses is estimated; the invention can deduce the life of the battery stack under the influence of factors such as input power change amplitude, change frequency and operating power level.

[0004] Although the above method can deduce the life of the battery stack under different cyclic stresses, the accuracy of long-term predictions remains a challenge. Due to the randomness and nonlinearity of the degradation process of the PEM electrolyzer, there may be great uncertainty in the long-term prediction results. In addition, as the operating time increases, the uncertainty of the physical and chemical reactions inside the PEM electrolyzer and the state of the proton membrane in the electrolyzer will also be affected, further affecting the accuracy of the prediction results, and increasing the time and labor costs of the test conditions, and lacking a test response to a sudden drop in hydrogen production efficiency. To this end, the present invention provides a PEM electrolyzer accelerated stress testing system and method based on multi-stress coupling. Summary of the invention

[0024] A further improvement of the present invention is that the adaptive stress application algorithm includes defining an objective function , and define the particle dimension as 2, that is, each particle consists of two values, including the step size and residence time of stress change; introduce the particle swarm algorithm, after adjusting the stress condition of the PEM electrolyzer according to the initial stress step size and the initial stress residence time, update the particle velocity and particle position according to the proton membrane state value, and then randomly select the individual optimal position of any particle as the initial global optimal position, and update the individual optimal position and the global optimal position after evaluating the fitness of each particle according to the objective function. When there is a particle whose individual optimal position has a fitness greater than the fitness of the initial global optimal position, update the individual optimal position of the particle as the new global optimal position, and output the stress change step size and residence time corresponding to the particle.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0029] 1. The present invention first collects the surface image of the proton membrane in real time, uses the Roberts operator to roughly locate the crack, then calculates the precise defect edge position through the orthogonal matrix, monitors the proton membrane loss parameter by calculating the change of the spectral influence value of the rough defect edge, and calculates the proton membrane state value accordingly, which helps to timely discover the damage of the proton membrane and ensure the safe operation of the proton membrane;

[0045] Example 2

[0046] Figure 3 The flowchart of the accelerated stress testing method of a PEM electrolyzer based on multi-stress coupling of the present invention is shown. Based on the same inventive concept as Example 1, the present invention provides an accelerated stress testing method of a PEM electrolyzer based on multi-stress coupling, comprising the following steps:

[0047] S1. Obtaining initial performance and initial proton membrane safety status before the test begins; the initial performance is obtained by calculating the initial hydrogen production efficiency within the initial residence time, and the initial hydrogen production efficiency is obtained by the ratio of the total hydrogen production within the initial residence time to the initial residence time.

[0048] The initial proton membrane safety state includes extracting the initial spectral image of the proton membrane 400 before the test begins. Since the proton membrane 400 is more sensitive to the visible light band and the ultraviolet light band, the initial spectral impact value of the initial spectral image is calculated by setting a damage spectrum combination strategy for the visible light band and the ultraviolet light band. At this time, the initial proton membrane state value is recorded as 0. The damage spectrum combination strategy is obtained by calculating the ratio of the difference and the sum of the visible light band reflectance and the ultraviolet light band reflectance of the spectral image at the current moment.

[0049] S2, setting an initial stress step length and an initial stress dwell time, and adjusting the stress condition of the PEM electrolyzer 100 according to the initial stress step length and the initial stress dwell time;

[0050] S3. Since the proton membrane 400 is the core component of the PEM electrolyzer 100, the stress test of the electrolyzer will have a great impact on the proton membrane 400 or even damage it. In order to ensure that the proton membrane 400 remains in a safe state during the test, the surface deformation of the proton membrane 400 and the hydrogen production efficiency of the electrolyzer should be combined during the stress change test to monitor the safety state of the proton membrane in real time;

[0051] Figure 4 The flow chart of the proton membrane safety status monitoring of the present invention is shown. The monitoring of the proton membrane safety status includes real-time acquisition of the proton membrane surface image of the proton membrane 400 when the proton membrane is working by the image sensor 300. First, the crack of the proton membrane is roughly located by the Roberts operator to obtain the rough defect edge. Since the orthogonal matrix can realize spatial transformation while keeping the length and direction relationship of the vector unchanged, the edge position of the defect can be accurately located at the sub-pixel level. This is particularly important for a fine structure such as the proton membrane 400. Therefore, the n-order m-order orthogonal matrix of the pixels in the rough defect edge is calculated, and the rough defect edge is rotated counterclockwise again. The orthogonal matrix of pixels within the rough defect edge after rotation. Since the larger the difference between the ratio of the orthogonal matrix and 1, the greater the change before and after rotation, the absolute value of the difference between the ratio of the orthogonal matrix before and after rotation and 1 is calculated and recorded as the proton membrane loss parameter.

[0052] The monitoring of the safety status of the proton membrane also includes extracting the corresponding spectrum of the rough defect edge, recording it as the first spectrum data, graying the first spectrum data, setting a grayscale threshold, setting the grayscale value of pixels in the first spectrum data whose grayscale value is less than or equal to the grayscale threshold to 0, and extracting pixels in the first spectrum data whose grayscale value is greater than the grayscale threshold, recording it as the second spectrum data, calculating the spectral influence value of the second spectrum data through the damage spectrum combination strategy, extracting the difference between the spectral influence value of the second spectrum data and the initial spectral influence value, and calculating the product of the difference and the proton membrane loss parameter, recording it as the proton membrane status value.

[0053] S4, setting an adaptive stress application algorithm to adjust the step size and dwell time of stress change in real time according to the safety state of the proton membrane;

[0054] Figure 5 The flow chart of the adaptive stress application algorithm of the present invention is shown, and the adaptive stress application algorithm includes defining the objective function , and define the particle dimension as 2, that is, each particle consists of two values, including the step size and residence time of stress change; introduce a particle swarm algorithm, after adjusting the stress condition of the PEM electrolyzer 100 according to the initial stress step size and the initial stress residence time, update the particle velocity and particle position according to the proton membrane state value, and then randomly select the individual optimal position of any particle as the initial global optimal position, and update the individual optimal position and the global optimal position after evaluating the fitness of each particle according to the objective function. When there is a particle whose individual optimal position has a fitness greater than the fitness of the initial global optimal position, update the individual optimal position of the particle as the new global optimal position, and output the stress change step size and residence time corresponding to the particle.

[0055] The objective function is expressed as ,in , and represents the weight factor, , and represents the sub-objective function, Indicates a negative impact on the safety status of the proton membrane, represents the energy consumption of the electrolyzer, represents the maintenance cost, , E represents the minimum energy consumption expectation, C represents the minimum maintenance cost expectation, represents the stress variation step, Indicates the dwell time, represents the proton membrane state value, , and Represents the coefficient.

[0056] The updating of the particle velocity and particle position includes setting the particle position initialization range, for example, the temperature change step size can be from 0 to the maximum allowable change range (for example, 5°C), and the residence time can be from the minimum allowable time to the maximum allowable time (for example, from 1 minute to 10 minutes). The updating of the particle velocity and particle position also includes setting the proton membrane safety state threshold and the initial inertia weight; when the proton membrane state value increases, it means that the proton membrane safety level is low, which means that the proton membrane 400 may be in an unstable state, and it is necessary to find a better temperature change step size and residence time to improve safety. Therefore, the particles should be made more dependent on the guidance of the individual optimal position and the global optimal position. At this time, by setting the proton membrane safety state threshold and the initial inertia weight, and setting the inertia weight interval and proton membrane safety range , extract the current proton membrane state value in the proton membrane state value sequence, and the proton membrane state value at the previous moment, update the inertia weight to update the particle group speed; when the difference between the current proton membrane state value and the proton membrane state value at the previous moment is less than or equal to the proton membrane safety state threshold, the update formula of the inertia weight is ; At this time, when the proton membrane state value near When , when the proton membrane state value near When , when the difference between the current proton membrane state value and the proton membrane state value at the previous moment is greater than the proton membrane safety state threshold, the inertia weight is updated by calculating the ratio of the proton membrane safety state threshold to the difference, that is, multiplying the ratio by the minimum inertia weight;

[0057] In order to make the particles more inclined to the individual optimal position and the global optimal position, the ratio of the proton membrane safety state threshold to the difference between the current proton membrane state value and the proton membrane state value at the previous moment is extracted as the position update coefficient. When updating the particle position, the position update coefficient is added to update the particle position. It should be noted that each particle can remember the optimal position it has found (individual optimal, pBest), which is the best solution found by the particle itself during the search process. At the same time, the optimal position found in the entire particle swarm is called the global optimal (gBest), which is the best solution found by all particles together. During the operation of the algorithm, the particles update their speed and position by tracking these two "extreme values": the individual extreme value (pBest) is the best position experienced by the particle itself during the search process, and the global extreme value (gBest) is the best position currently found by the entire particle swarm. In this way, the particle swarm algorithm can find the global optimal solution in the search space. This guidance through individual optimality and global optimality enables the particle swarm to effectively approach the optimal solution of the problem, reflecting the biological principle of the "synchronization effect".

[0058] S5. Establish a life prediction model, count the performance degradation trends under different stress conditions, and train the life prediction model through the performance degradation trends to evaluate the service life of the PEM electrolyzer 100 under different stress conditions. The life prediction model includes obtaining the corresponding proton membrane state value and performance under different stress conditions, the performance is obtained by calculating the hydrogen production efficiency during the residence time under the stress condition, and the hydrogen production efficiency is obtained by calculating the ratio of the total hydrogen production during the residence time under the stress condition to the residence time under the stress condition; calculate the performance degradation index by multiplying the proton membrane state value and performance under different stress conditions, analyze the growth trend of the performance degradation index through the exponential decay model, and obtain the performance decay coefficient K, introduce the support vector machine model, establish the life prediction model, use the performance degradation index as training data, use the current stress as an input parameter, and output the time in the exponential decay model as the expected life of the PEM electrolyzer 100.
