[0025] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 10 is a flow chart of a method for optimizing the power consumption distribution of an accessory provided by 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 power demand of the entire vehicle refers to the total power required by a fuel cell electric vehicle under specific operating conditions, including the power demand for driving the vehicle, the operating requirements of various auxiliary systems of the vehicle, and the power supply requirements of the electronic equipment inside the vehicle. The power demand of the entire vehicle changes dynamically, and it depends on the driver's operation (such as acceleration, braking, steering, etc.), the vehicle's operating 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 a fuel cell electric vehicle other than the fuel cell stack. These accessories are crucial to the stable operation of the fuel cell stack and the performance of the entire 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 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 entire 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's 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 allow for more targeted consideration of how to allocate this power to optimize the vehicle's energy efficiency.

[0030] Step 102, calculating a 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, providing power for the vehicle. The fuel cell stack is composed of multiple fuel cell units (monomers), which are stacked together in a certain order to generate sufficient voltage and current to meet the vehicle's power requirements. The first vehicle energy consumption refers to the total energy consumed during the entire vehicle operation, with the fuel cell stack providing power consumption for accessories.

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

[0033] Specifically, an energy storage device refers to the equipment used to store and provide electrical energy in a fuel cell electric vehicle. The most common example is a battery pack, such as a lithium-ion battery. This device can store excess energy generated by the fuel cell stack and release it for vehicle use when needed. Second, vehicle energy consumption refers to the total energy consumed during the entire vehicle's operation, provided the energy storage device provides power for accessory consumption.

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

[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) can be compared with 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); then, based on the comparison results, evaluate which power supply method is more efficient or economical under the current operating conditions, based on the energy consumption difference, fuel cell efficiency, the status 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, it is finally determined whether the energy storage device or the fuel cell stack will provide the power consumption for the accessories.

[0036] By implementing step 104, the energy consumption of the entire vehicle under the two different situations is compared, and the solution with lower energy consumption can be intelligently selected; if the energy consumption of the entire vehicle is lower when the energy storage device provides the power consumption of the accessories, then the energy storage device is selected to bear this part of the load, which helps to improve the energy efficiency of the entire vehicle and extend the cruising range; conversely, if the energy consumption of the entire vehicle is lower when the fuel cell stack provides the power consumption of the accessories, then the fuel cell stack is selected to bear this part of the load, which also helps to optimize the energy efficiency of the entire 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 compares the energy consumption of the first vehicle and the energy consumption of the second vehicle to determine which system provides the power consumption of the accessories, and automatically selects the solution with lower energy consumption based on the intelligent decision-making mechanism of actual data, thereby maximizing the energy efficiency of the entire vehicle. In summary, the vehicle safety 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 entire vehicle, and can also extend the vehicle's cruising range to a certain extent, improving the 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] For example, 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 up), the operating state (the fuel cell has 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 the 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 energy management system).

[0041] By implementing the above embodiment, 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 based on the power demand of the entire vehicle and the preset power output ratio; and determining the accessory consumption power of the fuel cell accessory based on the first output power.

[0043] Specifically, the preset power output ratio is a pre-set 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 vehicle operation. The first output power refers to the power actually output by the fuel cell system under a specific operating 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 operating 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 entire 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 the fuel cell accessories (such as the cooling system, gas management system, etc.) is calculated and determined based on the operating status of the fuel cell system (such as load, temperature, etc.) and the operating characteristics of the fuel cell accessories.

[0045] By implementing 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 distribution 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 time series 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 over 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 pattern, 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 record. 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 vehicle's historical speed data 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 speed changes, aiming 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, aiming to maximize energy utilization and achieve optimal vehicle performance.

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

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

[0053] Through the implementation of the above 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 vehicle energy consumption. This fully considers the actual energy consumption of the fuel cell stack when simultaneously meeting the vehicle drive and accessory power consumption requirements, 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 the 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 the 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 electrical 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 electrical energy consumption, which includes the energy consumption of the energy storage device to provide electrical 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] For example, 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 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 consumption power (i.e., the second device energy consumption) are calculated separately and summarized into the second vehicle energy consumption, thereby achieving an accurate assessment of the vehicle energy consumption when the energy storage device provides accessory consumption power.

[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 state of charge of the energy storage device is greater than a preset ratio, the energy storage device provides the accessory consumption power; otherwise, the fuel cell stack provides the accessory consumption power.

[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 a preset ratio, this indicates that under the current conditions, it is more economical or efficient to use the energy storage device to provide accessory power consumption, because higher vehicle energy consumption may mean that the current driving mode has a greater demand for energy, and the energy storage device can meet this demand when it has sufficient power, 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 accessory power consumption.

[0060] Through the implementation of the above embodiments, the energy consumption of the entire vehicle can be minimized and the energy efficiency can be improved while ensuring the normal operation of the vehicle. At the same time, by considering the charge state of the energy storage device, 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 for implementing the aforementioned method embodiment.
