Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of fuel cell technology, and in particular to a startup control method and device for a hydrogen fuel cell power generation system. Background Art

[0002] As an efficient and clean energy conversion technology, hydrogen fuel cells have received widespread attention in the context of global energy structure adjustment and increased environmental awareness. The life of hydrogen fuel cells is a very important indicator. At present, although the life of hydrogen fuel cells has been greatly improved, during the startup phase of the hydrogen fuel cell power generation system, there is still a situation where the hydrogen-air interface appears in the stack. The hydrogen-air interface mainly occurs on the anode side of the stack. Due to the generation of the hydrogen-air interface at the anode, the high potential generated at the cathode causes carbon corrosion, which leads to the destruction of the catalyst layer structure, thereby adversely affecting charge transfer and mass transfer, and directly affecting the service life of the stack. Therefore, reducing and inhibiting the generation of hydrogen-air interfaces in the stack is of great significance to improving the life of the hydrogen fuel cell power generation system.

[0003] In the related art, hydrogen is directly introduced from the hydrogen pipeline when starting up, and the generation of hydrogen-air interface in the fuel cell stack is suppressed by increasing the hydrogen flow rate. However, this method cannot identify hydrogen-air interface conditions of different severity, and does not adopt different control strategies to effectively solve them. In addition, it is impossible to identify whether the hydrogen-air interface has been completely processed, and the system is still started directly without solving the hydrogen-air interface, which will affect the service life of the hydrogen fuel cell power generation system.

[0035] In the process of starting the hydrogen fuel cell power generation system, the different degrees of hydrogen-air interface in the stack can be identified according to the highest single-chip voltage. If the highest single-chip voltage is greater than or equal to V1 and less than V2, it means that the degree of hydrogen-air interface in the stack is relatively light. By increasing the hydrogen flow rate and hydrogen flow pressure to a larger value, the air in the hydrogen path is blown as clean as possible, and the air on the air side is inhibited from diffusing to the hydrogen side. At the same time, reducing the load current to a smaller value can reduce the damage to the stack caused by the presence of the hydrogen-air interface. After running the first time period t1, the fuel cell power generation system is restored to a normal load state, and the hydrogen-air interface is re-detected. If the highest single-chip voltage is greater than or equal to V2 and less than V3, it means that the degree of hydrogen-air interface in the stack is relatively serious. While increasing the hydrogen flow rate and hydrogen flow pressure to a larger value, reduce the air flow rate and air flow pressure to reduce the air in the stack, and further reduce the air diffusion to the hydrogen side. Reducing the load current to a smaller value can reduce the damage to the stack caused by the presence of the hydrogen-air interface. After running the second time period t2, the fuel cell power generation system is restored to a normal loading state, and the hydrogen-air interface is re-detected. If the highest single-chip voltage is greater than or equal to V3, it means that the degree of hydrogen-air interface in the stack is already very serious, the air can be cut off, and there must be no pressure on the air side, so that the air no longer has the ability to diffuse to the hydrogen side. Further increasing the hydrogen inlet flow rate and hydrogen inlet pressure can completely remove the air on the hydrogen side, so that the serious hydrogen-air interface can be quickly eliminated, reducing damage to the stack. After running the third time period t3, the fuel cell power generation system is restored to a normal loading state, and the hydrogen-air interface is re-detected. It can be seen that different control strategies can be implemented for different degrees of hydrogen-air interface to quickly suppress the continued appearance of the hydrogen-air interface. It can effectively solve the attenuation of the stack life caused by the hydrogen-air interface during the startup of the hydrogen fuel cell power generation system, and improve the service life of the stack.

Obviously, for ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without paying any creative labor.

[0039] Figure 2This is a structural schematic diagram of a start-up control device for a hydrogen fuel cell power generation system in an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application, the scheme of the present application will be further described below. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0041] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application, but the present application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0042] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a startup control method of a hydrogen fuel cell power generation system in an embodiment of the present application, which may include the following steps:

[0043] Step S102, start the hydrogen fuel cell power generation system,

[0044] Step S104, hydrogen and air are introduced into the hydrogen fuel cell power generation system according to the first hydrogen inlet flow rate V1, the first hydrogen inlet pressure P1, the first air inlet flow rate V1′, and the first air inlet pressure P1′, and the load current is set to the first load current A1.

[0045] When starting the hydrogen fuel cell power generation system, the first hydrogen inlet flow rate V1, the first hydrogen inlet pressure P1, the first air inlet flow rate V1′, and the first air inlet pressure P1′ are parameter values ​​under normal loading state. The set hydrogen inlet flow rate and air inlet flow rate will be different depending on the power of the fuel cell. Therefore, the hydrogen inlet flow rate and the air inlet flow rate can be set according to the power of the fuel cell. Optionally, the first loading current A1 is 50A, the first hydrogen inlet pressure P1 is 30kPa, and the first air inlet pressure P1′ is 50kPa.

[0046] Step S106, monitoring the single-chip voltage of the fuel cell stack in the hydrogen fuel cell power generation system.

[0047] The severity of the hydrogen-air interface in the stack can be determined based on the single-chip voltage of the stack. The higher the maximum single-chip voltage, the more serious the hydrogen-air interface; the lower the maximum single-chip voltage, the less serious the hydrogen-air interface. Therefore, the severity of the hydrogen-air interface can be determined by monitoring the single-chip voltage of the stack.

[0048] Step S108, determining whether the highest single-chip voltage is less than the first voltage value K1.

[0049] If the highest single chip voltage is less than the first voltage value K1, it can be considered that no hydrogen-air interface appears, and step S110 is executed; if the highest single chip voltage is greater than or equal to the first voltage value K1, step S112 is executed.

[0050] Step S110, controlling the hydrogen fuel cell power generation system to start normally.

[0051] Step S112, determining whether the highest single-chip voltage is less than the second voltage value K2.

[0052] If the highest single chip voltage is less than the second voltage value K2, it indicates that the degree of the hydrogen-air interface is relatively light, and step S114 is executed; if the highest single chip voltage is greater than or equal to the second voltage value K2, step S116 is executed.

[0053] Step S114, set the load current to the second load current A2, and introduce hydrogen into the hydrogen fuel cell power generation system according to the second hydrogen inlet flow rate V2 and the second hydrogen inlet pressure P2, run the first time period t1, and return to step S104; A2< A1, V2> V1, P2> P1.

[0054] By increasing the hydrogen flow rate into the stack, the hydrogen pipeline can be purged, and the air in the hydrogen pipeline can be blown as clean as possible. Increasing the hydrogen inlet pressure can inhibit the diffusion of air from the air side to the hydrogen side, thereby inhibiting the continued appearance of the hydrogen-air interface. When the hydrogen-air interface exists, it will cause damage to the fuel cell stack. The more serious the hydrogen-air interface is, the smaller the corresponding load current is, and the smaller the damage to the fuel cell stack will be. Therefore, by reducing the load current, the damage to the fuel cell stack can be reduced. Optionally, the second load current A2 is 40A, and the second hydrogen inlet pressure P2 is 40kPa.

[0055] Since the hydrogen-air interface is relatively mild, the hydrogen-air interface can usually be resolved after the first period of time t1, and the process returns to step S104 to restore the fuel cell power generation system to a normal loading state to re-detect whether the hydrogen-air interface is eliminated. If the hydrogen-air interface is eliminated, the hydrogen fuel cell power generation system is controlled to start normally. Otherwise, the above cycle process is continued.

[0056] Step S116, determining whether the highest single-chip voltage is less than the third voltage value K3.

[0057] If the highest single chip voltage is less than the third voltage value K3, it indicates that the degree of the hydrogen-air interface is relatively serious, and step S118 is executed; if the highest single chip voltage is greater than or equal to the third voltage value K3, it indicates that the degree of the hydrogen-air interface is already very serious, and step S120 is executed.

[0058] Step S118: Set the draw current to the third draw current A3, and introduce hydrogen and air into the hydrogen fuel cell power generation system according to the third hydrogen inlet flow rate V3, the third hydrogen inlet pressure P3, the second air inlet flow rate V2′, and the second air inlet pressure P2′. Operate for the second time period t2, and then return to step S104.

[0059] Since the degree of the hydrogen-air interface appearance is relatively serious, therefore, compared with step S112, the increase in the hydrogen inlet flow rate and the hydrogen inlet pressure will be stronger, V3 > V2, P3 > P2. Optionally, the third hydrogen inlet pressure P3 is 50 kPa. At the same time, reducing the air inlet flow rate and the air inlet pressure can reduce the air in the stack and further reduce the diffusion of air to the hydrogen side. V2′ < V1′, P2′ < P1′. Optionally, the second air inlet pressure P2′ is 20 kPa. In this way, the continuous appearance of the hydrogen-air interface can be more effectively suppressed. Set the draw current to a smaller value, that is, A3 < A2, which can reduce the damage caused by the hydrogen-air interface to the stack. Optionally, the third draw current A3 is 20 A.

[0060] Similarly, after operating for the second time period t2, return to step S104 to restore the fuel cell power generation system to the normal draw state, and re-detect whether the hydrogen-air interface is eliminated. In the case of eliminating the hydrogen-air interface, control the hydrogen fuel cell power generation system to start normally. Otherwise, continue to execute the above loop process.

[0061] Step S120: Set the stack to the open circuit state, turn off the air compressor, set the air inlet flow rate to 0, fully open the air back pressure valve, and close the back pressure valve when the pressure of the air in the stack is equal to the atmospheric pressure; introduce hydrogen into the hydrogen fuel cell power generation system according to the fourth hydrogen inlet flow rate V4 and the fourth hydrogen inlet pressure P4, and fully open the hydrogen tail exhaust valve. After hydrogen is continuously introduced for a preset time period, set the draw current to the fourth draw current A4. Operate for the third time period t3, and then return to step S104.

[0062] Since the degree of the hydrogen-air interface appearance is already very serious, therefore, the air can be cut off, and there should be no pressure on the air side to ensure that the air no longer has the ability to diffuse to the hydrogen side. And the hydrogen inlet flow rate and the hydrogen inlet pressure also increase, V4 > V3, P4 > P3. Optionally, the fourth hydrogen inlet pressure P4 is 60 kPa. In this way, all the air on the hydrogen side can be completely removed, enabling the serious hydrogen-air interface to be quickly eliminated and reducing the damage to the stack. Set the draw current to a smaller value, A4 < A3, which can reduce the damage caused by the hydrogen-air interface to the stack. Optionally, the fourth draw current A4 is 10 A.

[0063] After the third period of time t3, the system returns to step S104 to restore the fuel cell power generation system to a normal loading state to re-detect whether the hydrogen-air interface is eliminated. If the hydrogen-air interface is eliminated, the hydrogen fuel cell power generation system is controlled to start normally. Otherwise, the above cycle is continued.

[0064] The embodiment of the present application can also set different hydrogen circulation times according to different degrees of hydrogen-air interface. The more serious the hydrogen-air interface is, the longer the hydrogen circulation time can be. Optionally, the first time period t1 < the second time period t2 < the third time period t3. In this way, by increasing the hydrogen circulation time, the air on the clean hydrogen side can be removed as much as possible, so that the serious hydrogen-air interface can be quickly eliminated. For example, t1 is 20s, t2 is 40s, and t3 is 60s.

[0065] The startup control method of the hydrogen fuel cell power generation system of the embodiment of the present application can identify the different degrees of hydrogen-air interface in the stack according to the highest single-chip voltage during the startup of the hydrogen fuel cell power generation system. If the highest single-chip voltage is greater than or equal to V1 and less than V2, it means that the degree of hydrogen-air interface in the stack is relatively light. By increasing the hydrogen flow rate and hydrogen flow pressure to a larger value, the air in the hydrogen path is blown as clean as possible, and the air on the air side is inhibited from diffusing to the hydrogen side. At the same time, reducing the load current to a smaller value can reduce the damage to the stack caused by the presence of the hydrogen-air interface. After running the first time period t1, the fuel cell power generation system is restored to a normal load state, and the hydrogen-air interface is re-detected. If the highest single-chip voltage is greater than or equal to V2 and less than V3, it means that the degree of hydrogen-air interface in the stack is relatively serious. While increasing the hydrogen flow rate and hydrogen flow pressure to a larger value, the air flow rate and air flow pressure are reduced to reduce the air in the stack, and the air in the stack is further reduced to reduce the air diffusion to the hydrogen side. Reducing the load current to a smaller value can reduce the damage to the stack caused by the presence of the hydrogen-air interface. After running the second time period t2, the fuel cell power generation system is restored to a normal loading state, and the hydrogen-air interface is re-detected. If the highest single-chip voltage is greater than or equal to V3, it means that the degree of hydrogen-air interface in the stack is already very serious, the air can be cut off, and there must be no pressure on the air side, so that the air no longer has the ability to diffuse to the hydrogen side. Further increasing the hydrogen inlet flow rate and hydrogen inlet pressure can completely remove the air on the hydrogen side, so that the serious hydrogen-air interface can be quickly eliminated, reducing damage to the stack. After running the second time period t2, the fuel cell power generation system is restored to a normal loading state, and the hydrogen-air interface is re-detected. It can be seen that different control strategies can be implemented for different degrees of hydrogen-air interface to quickly suppress the continued appearance of the hydrogen-air interface. It can effectively solve the attenuation of the stack life caused by the hydrogen-air interface during the startup of the hydrogen fuel cell power generation system and improve the service life of the stack.
