[0025] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 1 is a flow chart of an accessory power consumption allocation optimization method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method may specifically include the following steps 101 to 104:

[0026] Step 101, determining the accessory power consumption of the fuel cell accessories according to the power demand of the entire vehicle;

[0027] Specifically, the vehicle power demand refers to the total power required by a fuel cell electric vehicle under a specific operating state, including the power demand for driving the vehicle, the operation demand of various auxiliary systems of the vehicle, and the power supply demand of the electronic equipment inside the vehicle; the vehicle power demand changes dynamically, and it depends on the driver's operation (such as acceleration, braking, steering, etc.), the vehicle's working mode (such as starting, constant speed driving, climbing, etc.) and external environmental conditions (such as wind speed, road slope, traffic conditions, etc.). Fuel cell accessories refer to all auxiliary system components in fuel cell electric vehicles except the fuel cell stack. These accessories are crucial to the stable operation of the fuel cell stack and the performance of the whole vehicle. The power consumption of accessories refers to the power consumed by the fuel cell accessories during operation. Since these accessories require electrical energy to perform their functions, they will consume a certain amount of electrical energy. The power consumption of accessories is an important factor affecting the energy efficiency and cruising range of the whole vehicle.

[0028] For example, the current vehicle power demand can be received or calculated first, which is usually based on the vehicle's operating status, the driver's input (such as the accelerator pedal position), and the vehicle's current speed and load conditions; then, based on the vehicle power demand, the vehicle power demand is decomposed into the driving power demand of the fuel cell stack and the power consumption demand of each accessory through a preset mapping relationship or algorithm, and the specific power consumption of the fuel cell accessories is calculated.

[0029] By implementing step 101, the portion of the vehicle power demand used for fuel cell accessories (such as cooling pumps, air compressors, etc.) can be accurately identified, which can ensure the accuracy of subsequent energy consumption calculations and can also more specifically consider how to allocate this part of the power to optimize the energy efficiency of the vehicle.

[0030] Step 102, calculating the first vehicle energy consumption when the fuel cell stack provides power consumption for accessories;

[0031] Specifically, the fuel cell stack is the core component of the fuel cell system in a fuel cell electric vehicle. It directly converts chemical energy into electrical energy through the electrochemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen to provide power for the vehicle. The fuel cell stack consists of multiple fuel cell units (monomers), which are stacked together in a certain order to generate sufficient voltage and current to meet the power requirements of the vehicle. The first vehicle energy consumption refers to the total energy consumed during the entire vehicle operation when the fuel cell stack provides the power consumption of the accessories.

[0032] Step 103, calculating the second vehicle energy consumption when the energy storage device provides the power consumption of the accessories;

[0033] Specifically, energy storage devices refer to devices used to store and provide electrical energy in fuel cell electric vehicles. The most common are battery packs, such as lithium-ion batteries. Energy storage devices can store energy when there is excess electrical energy generated by the fuel cell stack, and release energy for vehicle use when needed. Second, vehicle energy consumption refers to the total energy consumed during the entire vehicle operation process when the energy storage device provides power consumption for accessories.

[0034] Step 104, based on the comparison result of the first whole vehicle energy consumption and the second whole vehicle energy consumption, determining the accessory power consumption provided by the energy storage device or the fuel cell stack;

[0035] Specifically, first, the first vehicle energy consumption obtained by calculation or measurement (i.e., the vehicle energy consumption under specific conditions when all accessory power is provided by the energy storage device) and the second vehicle energy consumption (i.e., the vehicle energy consumption under specific conditions when all accessory power is provided by the fuel cell stack) can be compared; then, based on the comparison results, evaluate which power supply method is more efficient or economical under the current operating conditions, based on energy consumption differences, fuel cell efficiency, the state of the energy storage device (such as power, life) and possible external factors (such as electricity price, ambient temperature, etc.); finally, based on the above evaluation, determine whether the energy storage device or the fuel cell stack provides the power consumption for the accessories.

[0036] By implementing step 104, the energy consumption of the whole vehicle under two different situations is compared, and the solution with lower energy consumption can be intelligently selected; if the energy consumption of the whole vehicle when the energy storage device provides the power consumption of the accessories is lower, then the energy storage device is selected to bear this part of the load, which helps to improve the energy efficiency of the whole vehicle and extend the cruising range; conversely, if the energy consumption of the whole vehicle when the fuel cell stack provides the power consumption of the accessories is lower, then the fuel cell stack is selected to bear this part of the load, which also helps to optimize the energy efficiency of the whole vehicle; this decision-making method based on actual energy consumption data is more flexible and efficient than the traditional fixed allocation method, and can better adapt to different driving conditions and needs.

[0037] In summary, the embodiment of the present application determines which system provides the power consumption of the accessories by comparing the energy consumption of the first vehicle and the energy consumption of the second vehicle, and automatically selects the solution with lower energy consumption based on the intelligent decision-making mechanism of actual data, so as to maximize the energy efficiency of the whole vehicle. In summary, the vehicle safe driving warning method provided by the embodiment of the present application optimizes the power consumption distribution of fuel cell electric vehicles through accurate energy consumption evaluation, flexible energy consumption optimization strategy and intelligent decision-making mechanism, improves the energy efficiency of the whole vehicle, and can also extend the vehicle's cruising range to a certain extent and improve user experience.

[0038] In some embodiments, the aforementioned step 101 may include: detecting the working state of the fuel cell system, wherein the aforementioned working state may include a startup state, an operating state, and a shutdown state; when the working state is an operating state, determining the accessory power consumption of the fuel cell accessories according to the power demand of the entire vehicle.

[0039] Specifically, the fuel cell system is a key component of a fuel cell electric vehicle, including a fuel cell stack and fuel cell accessories.

[0040] Exemplarily, first, the current working state of the fuel cell system can be detected in real time by sensors or other monitoring devices, and the working state includes but is not limited to the startup state (i.e., the fuel cell is in the process of starting), the operating state (the fuel cell has been started normally and is providing power to the vehicle) and the shutdown state (the fuel cell has stopped working); then, based on the detected data, it is determined what working state the fuel cell system is currently in; finally, when it is determined that the fuel cell system is in an operating state, the accessory power consumption required by the fuel cell accessories is further determined based on the power demand of the entire vehicle (which can be obtained through the vehicle control unit or the energy management system).

[0041] By implementing the above embodiments, the working state of the fuel cell system is detected, and the power consumption of the accessories is determined only in the operating state, which can avoid unnecessary energy consumption calculations in the startup and shutdown states, improve calculation efficiency, and ensure the accuracy of the accessory power consumption distribution.

[0042] In some embodiments, the aforementioned step 101 may include: determining the first output power of the fuel cell system and the second output power of the energy storage device according to the power demand of the entire vehicle and the preset power output ratio; determining the accessory consumption power of the fuel cell accessory according to the first output power.

[0043] Specifically, the preset power output ratio is the preset power output ratio between the fuel cell system and the energy storage device (such as a battery pack) in a fuel cell electric vehicle. This ratio is determined based on the vehicle's design, performance requirements, and energy efficiency optimization goals. The preset power output ratio determines the power output share that the fuel cell stack and the energy storage device should each bear during the operation of the vehicle. The first output power refers to the power actually output by the fuel cell system under a specific working state. The first output power is calculated based on the power demand of the entire vehicle and the preset power output ratio. The second output power refers to the power actually output by the energy storage device (such as a battery pack) under a specific working state. The second output power is also calculated based on the power demand of the entire vehicle and the preset power output ratio.

[0044] For example, the first output power that the fuel cell system should provide and the second output power that the energy storage device should provide can be accurately calculated based on the real-time power demand of the vehicle and the preset power output ratio between the fuel cell system and the energy storage device. After determining the first output power of the fuel cell system, the power consumption required by these accessories is calculated and determined based on the operating state of the fuel cell system (such as load, temperature, etc.) and the operating characteristics of the fuel cell accessories (such as cooling system, gas management system, etc.).

[0045] Through the implementation of the above embodiments, the output power of the fuel cell system and the energy storage device is determined according to the power demand of the entire vehicle and the preset power output ratio, which helps to achieve optimal allocation of the fuel cell electric vehicle power system and improve energy utilization efficiency.

[0046] In some embodiments, the aforementioned accessory power consumption allocation optimization method may further include: performing vehicle speed timing prediction based on vehicle speed history records to obtain a target predicted vehicle speed; and determining a preset power output ratio based on the target predicted vehicle speed and the current temperature.

[0047] Specifically, the speed history record refers to the speed data recorded during the vehicle's driving process in the past period of time, including the vehicle's speed information at different time points, which can be used to analyze the vehicle's driving mode, speed change trend, etc.; the target predicted speed refers to the speed that the vehicle is expected to reach in the future period of time, obtained by analyzing and predicting the speed history records. Speed ​​time series prediction is a method of using historical data to predict future speeds, which usually involves time series analysis, machine learning models or other prediction algorithms.

[0048] For example, the historical speed data of the vehicle can be collected and stored first, and the speed data can be processed and analyzed using algorithms such as time series analysis, machine learning or deep learning to predict the target speed in the future. This prediction takes into account the trend, periodicity and possible random fluctuations of the speed change, and aims to improve the accuracy and practicality of the prediction. After obtaining the target predicted speed, the current real-time temperature information can be combined with predefined rules or models to calculate the optimal power output ratio between the fuel cell system and the energy storage device. This ratio takes into account the changes in the vehicle's power demand at different speeds, as well as the impact of temperature on fuel cell performance and energy efficiency, and aims to maximize energy utilization and optimize vehicle performance.

[0049] Through the implementation of the above-mentioned embodiments, the power consumption distribution of accessories can be made more in line with actual driving needs, resource consumption caused by frequent adjustment of the preset power output ratio can be avoided, and the economy and power performance of the vehicle can be further improved.

[0050] In some embodiments, the aforementioned step 102 may include: calculating a first stack energy consumption of a fuel cell stack based on a first hydrogen consumption, wherein the first hydrogen consumption is calculated based on a first output power and accessory power consumption; calculating a first device energy consumption of an energy storage device based on a second output power; and calculating a first whole vehicle energy consumption based on the first stack energy consumption and the first device energy consumption.

[0051] Specifically, the first hydrogen consumption refers to the amount of hydrogen consumed by the fuel cell stack when the fuel cell stack provides the power consumption of the accessories. This amount is calculated based on the first output power of the fuel cell stack (i.e., the total power of the fuel cell stack to provide electrical energy for driving the vehicle and accessories) and the accessory consumption power (i.e., the power required for the operation of the fuel cell accessories). The hydrogen consumption is usually proportional to the output power of the stack. Therefore, by calculating the output power of the stack, the corresponding hydrogen consumption can be estimated. The first stack energy consumption refers to the energy consumption of the fuel cell stack when providing the first output power, which can be obtained by calculating the first hydrogen consumption; the first device energy consumption refers to the energy consumption of the energy storage device (such as a battery pack) when providing the second output power. This energy consumption is usually measured in terms of electrical energy consumption, which reflects the energy consumption of the energy storage device under a specific working state.

[0052] Exemplarily, first, the corresponding first hydrogen consumption can be obtained by looking up a table or calculating a model based on the first output power of the fuel cell system and the power consumption of the accessories; then, the product of the first hydrogen consumption and the lower calorific value of hydrogen is calculated to determine the energy consumption of the fuel cell stack, and the charging efficiency and discharging efficiency at this time are obtained by looking up a table based on the current SOC, temperature and other information of the energy storage device; the energy consumption of the energy storage device is calculated based on the first output power of the energy storage device and the charging and discharging efficiency obtained above; finally, the first stack energy consumption of the fuel cell stack and the first device energy consumption of the energy storage device are added to obtain the first whole vehicle energy consumption.

[0053] Through the implementation of the above-mentioned embodiment, the energy consumption of the fuel cell stack (i.e., the first stack energy consumption) and the energy consumption of the energy storage device (i.e., the first device energy consumption) are calculated separately, and finally summarized into the first whole vehicle energy consumption, which fully considers the actual energy consumption of the fuel cell stack when simultaneously meeting the vehicle drive and accessory power consumption requirements, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the energy consumption calculation.

[0054] In some embodiments, the aforementioned step 103 may include: calculating a second stack energy consumption of the fuel cell stack based on a second hydrogen consumption, wherein the second hydrogen consumption is calculated based on the first output power; calculating a second device energy consumption of the energy storage device based on the second output power and accessory power consumption; and calculating a second vehicle energy consumption based on the second stack energy consumption and the second device energy consumption.

[0055] Specifically, the second hydrogen consumption refers to the amount of hydrogen consumed by the fuel cell stack when the accessory power consumption is provided by the energy storage device during the operation of the fuel cell electric vehicle. This consumption is calculated based on the output power of the fuel cell stack when providing the electric energy required to drive the vehicle; the second stack energy consumption refers to the energy consumption of the fuel cell stack when providing the second output power, which can be obtained by calculating the second hydrogen consumption; the second device energy consumption refers to the energy consumed by the energy storage device when providing accessory power consumption and supporting vehicle driving. This energy consumption is measured in terms of electric energy consumption, which includes the energy consumption of the energy storage device to provide electric energy for accessories and the additional power provided for vehicle driving. When calculating the second vehicle energy consumption, the second stack energy consumption and the second device energy consumption are added together to obtain the total energy consumption of the vehicle when the energy storage device provides accessory power consumption.

[0056] Exemplarily, first, the corresponding second hydrogen consumption can be obtained by looking up the table according to the first output power of the fuel cell system; then, the second hydrogen consumption and the low calorific value of hydrogen are used to calculate the second stack energy consumption of the fuel cell stack; the total output power of the energy storage device is the output power of the energy storage device itself plus the power consumption of the accessories, and the charging efficiency and discharging efficiency at this time are obtained by looking up the table based on the current SOC, temperature and other information of the energy storage device; the energy consumption of the energy storage device is calculated based on the first output power of the energy storage device and the charging and discharging efficiency obtained above; finally, the second stack energy consumption of the fuel cell stack and the second device energy consumption of the energy storage device are added to obtain the second vehicle energy consumption.

[0057] Through the implementation of the above-mentioned embodiments, the energy consumption of the fuel cell stack when only providing vehicle driving power (i.e., the second stack energy consumption) and the energy consumption of the energy storage device when providing accessory power consumption (i.e., the second device energy consumption) are calculated separately and summarized as the second whole vehicle energy consumption, thereby achieving an accurate assessment of the whole vehicle energy consumption when the energy storage device provides accessory power consumption.

[0058] In some embodiments, the aforementioned step 104 may include: when the first vehicle energy consumption is greater than the second vehicle energy consumption and the charge state of the energy storage device is greater than a preset ratio, the energy storage device provides power for accessory consumption; otherwise, the fuel cell stack provides power for accessory consumption.

[0059] Specifically, the preset ratio refers to a threshold used to compare the state of charge (SOC) of the energy storage device in the energy consumption management strategy of the fuel cell electric vehicle. This ratio is set based on the vehicle's design, performance requirements and energy efficiency optimization goals. The preset ratio is usually a percentage, which represents the ratio between the state of charge of the energy storage device and its maximum state of charge. First, the first vehicle energy consumption and the second vehicle energy consumption calculated under two different conditions can be compared; then, the current state of charge (SOC) of the energy storage device (such as a battery pack) is checked and compared with a preset ratio indicating sufficient power. If the energy consumption of the first vehicle is greater than that of the second vehicle, and at the same time, the state of charge of the energy storage device is greater than the preset ratio, this indicates that under the current conditions, it is more economical or efficient to use the energy storage device to provide the power consumption of the accessories, because higher energy consumption of the whole vehicle may mean that the current driving mode has a greater demand for energy, and the energy storage device can meet this demand when the power is sufficient, while reducing dependence on the fuel cell stack and extending its service life; if any of the above conditions is not met, that is, the energy consumption of the first vehicle is not greater than the energy consumption of the second vehicle, or the state of charge of the energy storage device is not greater than the preset ratio, then it is judged that it is more appropriate for the fuel cell stack to provide the power consumption of the accessories.

[0060] Through the implementation of the above embodiments, the energy consumption of the whole vehicle can be reduced to the maximum extent and the energy efficiency can be improved under the premise of ensuring the normal operation of the vehicle; at the same time, by considering the charge state of the energy storage device, the performance degradation or damage caused by excessive discharge is avoided.

[0061] Furthermore, as an implementation of the aforementioned method embodiment, the present application also provides an accessory power consumption allocation optimization device, which is used to implement the aforementioned method embodiment. The device embodiment corresponds to the aforementioned method embodiment. For ease of reading, the present accessory power consumption allocation optimization device embodiment will no longer repeat the details of the aforementioned method embodiment one by one, but it should be clear that the device in the embodiment of the present application can correspond to all the contents of the aforementioned method embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, the accessory power consumption allocation optimization device 20 includes: a power determination unit 201, an energy consumption determination unit 202 and an energy supply determination unit 203, wherein the power determination unit 201 is used to determine the accessory power consumption of the fuel cell accessory according to the power demand of the whole vehicle; the energy consumption determination unit 202 is used to calculate the first whole vehicle energy consumption when the fuel cell stack provides the accessory power consumption; the energy consumption determination unit 202 is also used to calculate the second whole vehicle energy consumption when the energy storage device provides the accessory power consumption; the energy supply determination unit 203 is used to determine the accessory power consumption provided by the energy storage device or the fuel cell stack based on the comparison result of the first whole vehicle energy consumption and the second whole vehicle energy consumption.

[0062] In some embodiments, the power determination unit 201 is also used to detect the working state of the fuel cell system, where the working state includes a start-up state, an operating state, and a shutdown state; when the working state is an operating state, the accessory power consumption of the fuel cell accessories is determined according to the power demand of the entire vehicle.
