[0071] S1, in one cycle, controls the switch tube Q in turn s The first preset time T on so that the voltage source V AAFC To inductor L in Charging; controlling the switch tube Q s Turn off the second preset time T off , so that the inductance L in To load R w Discharge;

[0072] S2. Adjust the first preset time T on and the second preset time T off The on or off time is used to adjust the switch Q s A duty cycle such that, under a reference duty cycle, the load satisfies a maximum power point threshold first power;

[0073] S3.

[0074] S4. Adjust the maximum power point threshold second power according to a fuzzy control method so that the load meets the maximum power point threshold optimal power.

[0075] Specifically, this implementation performs the following derivation.

[0076] In the Boost circuit, when the switch is turned on, V AAFC Give inductor L in Charging energy storage, by capacitor C o Discharging to load R w Power supply, assuming the switch conduction time is T on , then the inductance L in this stage in The accumulated energy can be expressed as V AAFC i in T on ; When the switch is turned off, V AAFC With inductance L in Common load R w Power supply and charge capacitor at the same time. Assume the switch off time is T off , in this stage the inductor L in The energy released can be expressed as (V w -V AAFC )i in T off When the circuit is in a stable working state, ignoring the loss, a cycle t, where t = T on +T off , internal inductance L in The energy stored is equal to the energy released, that is: V AAFC i in T on =(V w -V AAFC )i in T off , simplify to get: V w =V AAFC (T on +T off ) / T off =tV AAFC / T off . Where t>T off , so the output voltage is higher than the power supply voltage, t / T offis the step-up ratio, which can be adjusted by adjusting the duty cycle of the switch tube to change the output voltage V w The size of the switch tube is assumed to be D = T on / t, (D<1), then there is the following relationship: T on =(1-D p )t=t T off Ignoring the possible losses in the circuit, according to the law of conservation of energy, the power supply V AAFC Output power is equal to load power V AAFC i in =V w i w , so the Boost converter output current i w With the inductor current i in The relationship is i w =V AAFC i in / V w =i in (1-D p ), the load power is P w =i w 2 R w =[V w / (R w +R in )] 2 R w , where R in represents the internal resistance of the fuel cell, and the above formula is converted to R w Taking the derivative, we can get (dP w ) / (dR w )=V w 2 (R in -R w ) / (R in +R w ) 3 By controlling the Boost converter to work at different output currents, the corresponding output voltage can be detected and the expression is obtained: R ohm ×i w1 =V AAFC -V w1 and R ohm ×i w2 =V AAFC -V w2 , where R ohm represents the internal resistance of the ohmic reaction polarization region. Solving for R in ≈R ohm , R ohm =|(V w1 -V w2 ) / (iw1 -i w2 )|=|△V / △i|, when the internal resistance of the battery is equal to the equivalent external resistance, we can get: |(V w1 -V w2 ) / (i w1 -i w2 )|=R w (1-D p ) 2 , then the reference duty cycle of the maximum power point is

[0077]

[0078] Among them, V w1 To adjust the output voltage of the front Boost converter, V w2 is the output voltage of the Boost converter after adjustment, i w1 To adjust the output current of the front Boost converter, i w2 is the output current of the Boost converter after adjustment, R w For load.

[0079] In a specific implementation, the S3 step specifically includes:

[0080] S31, collecting the current aluminum-air open-circuit voltage to determine the slow-start tracking voltage;

[0081] S32, slowly start the bus current and determine whether the current aluminum-air voltage is greater than the slow start tracking voltage. If so, increase the bus slow start current until the current aluminum-air voltage is less than the slow start tracking voltage.

[0082] S33, collecting the current aluminum-air voltage and the current aluminum-air current, and calculating the current aluminum-air power;

[0083] S34, judging whether the current aluminum-air voltage is less than the preset lower limit voltage value, if not, judging whether the current aluminum-air power is equal to the aluminum-air power at the previous moment, if the current aluminum-air power is equal to the aluminum-air power at the previous moment, it is considered that the load meets the maximum power point threshold second power, if the current aluminum-air power is greater than the aluminum-air power at the previous moment, executing step S35;

[0084] S35, determining whether the current output terminal current is greater than the output terminal current at the previous moment, if so, increasing the current corresponding to the preset disturbance step length to the current output terminal current, if not, decreasing the current corresponding to the preset disturbance step length to the current output terminal current;

[0085] S36. After limiting the current at the current output end, the current aluminum-to-air voltage, the current aluminum-to-air current, and the current aluminum-to-air power are all equal to the aluminum-to-air voltage, the aluminum-to-air current, and the aluminum-to-air power at the previous moment, then it is considered that the load meets the second power of the maximum power point threshold.

[0086] In a specific embodiment, the objective function of the fuzzy control method is the output power P of the aluminum-air fuel cell, the control variable is the duty cycle D, the change in system power △P(n) at the nth moment and the change in duty cycle step △D(n) at the nth moment are the inputs of the fuzzy controller at the nth moment, and the duty cycle step D(n) at the nth moment is the output at the nth moment.

[0091]

[0092] This embodiment further simulates the working conditions of the aluminum-air fuel cell under stable conditions, increased load and reduced internal resistance through simulation experiments, and compares it with the ripple adaptive method. In this embodiment, the Boost converter parameters are set to L = 4mH, C = 0.002F, the switching frequency is 10kHz, and the internal resistance of the fuel cell R in is 4Ω, R L is 5Ω.

[0093] The corresponding simulation waveforms obtained in the embodiment are described below.

[0094] Figure 4 The maximum power point tracking under stable conditions of the two-stage control method and the ripple adaptive method of the present invention is compared. It can be seen that the initial tracking time of the two-stage control method proposed in the present invention is about 0.01s, and then it runs smoothly at the maximum power level; the initial tracking time of the ripple adaptive method is about 0.05s. Obviously, the rapidity of the method proposed in the present invention has significant advantages. In addition, it can be seen from the steady-state amplified waveform that the power ripple is smaller under the method proposed in the present invention.

[0095] Figure 5The maximum power point tracking situation when the load increases is compared between the two-stage control method of the present invention and the ripple adaptive method. During the simulation, the load resistance is increased to 8Ω at t=0.3s. When the external resistance changes and the internal resistance remains unchanged, the Boost converter changes the equivalent external resistance by adjusting the duty cycle, thereby achieving impedance matching and outputting maximum power. Since the internal resistance remains unchanged, the output power stabilizes at the original maximum power output power after a short-term fluctuation. It can be seen that the fluctuation time of the two-stage control method proposed by the present invention is only about 0.001s, and then it runs smoothly at the maximum power level; while the fluctuation time of the ripple adaptive method is about 0.05s.

[0096] Figure 6 The maximum power point tracking when the internal resistance decreases is compared between the two-stage control method of the present invention and the ripple adaptive method. To verify the effect of internal resistance on the maximum power point tracking of the aluminum-air fuel cell, the internal resistance is reduced to 3Ω at t=0.3s, and the maximum power point is offset. To achieve maximum power point tracking, the duty cycle changes rapidly and then stabilizes. At this time, the maximum output power of the battery increases as the internal resistance decreases. It can be seen that the two-stage control method proposed in the present invention stabilizes after 0.005s adjustment, and then operates steadily at the maximum power level; while the adjustment time of the ripple adaptive method is about 0.015s.
