Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fuel cells, and in particular to a fuel cell system power control method and device. Background Art

[0002] In the fuel cell system, the DC-DC converter is used to convert the low voltage output by the stack into a constant high voltage. Since the output voltage of the DC-DC converter is constant, the power control of the fuel cell system can be achieved by controlling the output current of the DC-DC converter. Changing the output current of the DC-DC converter can change the actual output power of the DC-DC converter, that is, the actual output power of the fuel cell system.

[0003] At present, during the power control of a fuel cell system, the actual output current of the fuel cell system will change toward the target output current, and the speed of change is determined by the current deviation between the actual output current and the target output current. The larger the current deviation, the faster the change speed.

[0004] In the above power control scheme, the current deviation value is small, resulting in the actual output current of the fuel cell system changing slowly toward the target output current, which in turn causes the actual output power of the fuel cell system to change slowly toward the target output power, that is, there is a problem of slow response speed.

[0054] The embodiments of the present invention solve the technical problem of how to improve the power control response speed of a fuel cell system by providing a fuel cell system power control method and device.

[0055] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, the fuel cell system of the embodiment of the present invention includes a vehicle controller, a fuel cell controller, a stack, a DC-DC converter, a voltage detection module and a current detection module. The vehicle controller is electrically connected to the fuel cell controller, and the fuel cell controller is electrically connected to the DC-DC converter, the voltage detection module and the current detection module. The voltage detection module and the current detection module are installed at the output end of the DC-DC converter. In some embodiments, the voltage detection module can be a voltmeter, and the current detection module can be an ammeter.

[0057] Among them, the vehicle controller is used to provide the vehicle request power to the fuel cell controller, the fuel cell controller is used to control the actual output current of the DC-DC converter to control the actual output power of the fuel cell system, the voltage detection module is used to detect the actual output voltage of the DC-DC converter, and the current detection module is used to detect the actual output current of the DC-DC converter.

[0058] The fuel cell system power control method according to the embodiment of the present invention is applied to Figure 1 Fuel cell controllers in Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0059] Step S1, obtaining the vehicle requested power from the vehicle controller, the actual output voltage from the voltage detection module, and the actual output current from the current detection module;

[0060] The vehicle requested power is the power that the vehicle needs the fuel cell system to output; the goal of the fuel cell system power control is to control the actual output power to be close to or reach the vehicle requested power;

[0061] Step S2, determining the target output power of the DC-DC converter according to the vehicle requested power; the target output power is less than or equal to the vehicle requested power;

[0062] The target output power is the power control target of the embodiment of the present invention, that is, the actual output power of the fuel cell system is controlled to be close to or reach the target output power; in some embodiments, the target output power may be the requested power of the whole vehicle;

[0063] Step S3, determining a target output current of the DC-DC converter according to the target output power and the actual output voltage;

[0064] Among them, since the actual output voltage of the DC-DC converter is constant, the target output current = target output power / actual output voltage; controlling the actual output current to reach the target output current can achieve the actual output power reaching the target output power;

[0065] In some implementations, the obtained target output current may be filtered to avoid accumulation of external error factors such as sensor accuracy issues;

[0066] After step S3, the actual output current is controlled to change toward the target output current. Assuming that the target output current is 5 and the actual output current is 1 in the initial state (the current values ​​here and in the following text are only used for illustration and do not represent the actual situation), after the actual output current is controlled to change toward the target output current, the actual output current becomes 2;

[0067] In the traditional scheme, the current deviation is the deviation (absolute value) between the original target output current and the actual output current. The response speed of power control is positively correlated with the current deviation. For example, when the target output current is 5 and the actual output current is 2, the current deviation in the traditional scheme is 3, and the response speed of power control in the traditional scheme is the speed corresponding to "3";

[0068] Step S4, when a preset condition is met, amplifying the target output current when the target output current is higher than the actual output current, and reducing the target output current when the target output current is lower than the actual output current;

[0069] In some embodiments, the preset condition may be unconditional;

[0070] It can be understood that when the target output current is higher than the actual output current, the target output current is amplified, and the current deviation between the amplified target output current and the current actual output current becomes larger. For example, when the target output current is 5 and the actual output current is 2, the target output current is higher than the actual output current, and the target output current can be changed to 1.2 times of the original, that is, the target output current is changed to 6, and the current deviation between the amplified target output current and the current actual output current is 4; when the target output current is lower than the actual output current, the target output current is reduced, and the current deviation between the reduced target output current and the current actual output current becomes smaller;

[0071] Step S5, determining a current deviation between the amplified or reduced target output current and the current actual output current;

[0072] Continuing with the above example, the current deviation between the amplified target output current and the current actual output current is 4, which is larger than the current deviation of "3" in the traditional solution;

[0073] Step S6, based on the principle that the speed at which the actual output current changes toward the target output current is positively correlated with the current deviation, controlling the actual output current to change to the original target output current;

[0074] Since the current deviation in the embodiment of the present invention is greater than the current deviation in the conventional scheme, the speed at which the actual output current is controlled to change toward the target output current is higher than that in the conventional scheme, that is, the speed at which the actual output power of the fuel cell system is controlled to change toward the target output power is higher than that in the conventional scheme, thereby improving the power response speed of the fuel cell system.

[0075] Taking into account that the maximum power allowed to be output by the fuel cell system under different operating conditions is different, there may be a situation where the power requested by the whole vehicle is higher than the maximum power allowed to be output. To ensure that a stable power control target can be obtained, in some embodiments, step S2 may include: obtaining the operating condition parameters of the fuel cell system, the operating condition parameters including one or more of the coolant inlet temperature, the coolant outlet temperature, the ambient temperature, the power battery charge state and the fault level; determining the maximum power allowed to be output by the fuel cell system under each operating condition parameter; determining the target output power as the minimum value between the maximum power and the power requested by the whole vehicle.

[0076] In some embodiments, the operating condition parameters may include the coolant inlet temperature, the coolant outlet temperature, the ambient temperature, the power battery charge state and the fault level, and then determine the maximum power allowed to be output by the fuel cell system at the current coolant inlet temperature, the maximum power allowed to be output by the fuel cell system at the current coolant outlet temperature, the maximum power allowed to be output by the fuel cell system at the current ambient temperature, the maximum power allowed to be output by the fuel cell system at the current power battery charge state and the maximum power allowed to be output by the fuel cell system at the current fault level, and take the minimum value of multiple maximum output powers allowed and the vehicle requested power as the target output power.

[0077] Considering that under normal circumstances, the minimum value among multiple maximum allowed output powers and the vehicle requested power is generally the vehicle requested power, the vehicle requested power may be directly used as the target output power without considering the operating conditions of the fuel cell system.

[0078] Considering that when the power deviation between the actual output power and the target power of the fuel cell system is small, the power control response speed is fast and the probability of power overshoot is high. In order to reduce the probability of power overshoot, steps S4 and S5 can be performed only when the power deviation between the actual output power and the target power of the fuel cell system is large, that is, in some embodiments, the preset condition in step S4 can include that the power deviation between the actual output power of the DC-DC converter and the target output power is greater than a preset power threshold (the power deviation here is an absolute value);

[0079] like Figure 3As shown, after step S3 and before step S4, the fuel cell system power control method may further include: step S7, determining the actual output power according to the actual output voltage and the actual output current, determining the power deviation between the actual output power and the target output power, and judging the magnitude relationship between the power deviation and the preset power threshold;

[0080] After step S7 and before step S6, the fuel cell system power control method may further include: step S8, determining a current deviation between the original target output current and the actual output current when the preset condition is not met.

[0081] The actual output power is the product of the actual output voltage and the actual output current. This is equivalent to executing steps S4 and S5 only when the power deviation between the actual output power and the target power is greater than the preset power threshold, and when the power deviation between the actual output power and the target power is less than or equal to the preset power threshold, the current deviation is the deviation between the original target output current and the actual output current. Power control is performed based on the current deviation between the original target output current and the actual output current, which can reduce the probability of overshoot. In some embodiments, the preset power threshold can be 10kw.

[0082] During the power control process of the fuel cell system, the target output power corresponds to the required air flow rate entering the stack. When the actual output power changes toward the target output power, the actual air flow rate entering the stack needs to change toward the required air flow rate entering the stack. When the power control response speed is fast, the stack consumes air quickly. If the difference between the actual air flow rate entering the stack and the required air flow rate entering the stack is too large, it will cause a gas shortage fault in the stack. In order to reduce the probability of a gas shortage fault in the stack, the power control response speed should not be too fast when the difference between the actual air flow rate entering the stack and the required air flow rate entering the stack is too large. Therefore, in some embodiments, the preset condition may include the flow deviation between the required air flow rate entering the stack and the actual air flow rate entering the stack of the fuel cell system being less than a preset flow threshold;

[0083] Before step S4, the fuel cell system power control method may further include: obtaining the required flow rate of air entering the stack and the actual flow rate of air entering the stack; determining the flow rate deviation between the required flow rate of air entering the stack and the actual flow rate of air entering the stack; judging the magnitude relationship between the flow rate deviation and a preset flow rate threshold;

[0084] After determining the magnitude relationship between the flow deviation and the preset flow threshold and before step S6, the fuel cell system power control method may further include: determining the current deviation between the original target output current and the actual output current when the preset condition is not met.

[0085] The actual flow rate of air entering the stack is generally less than the required flow rate of air entering the stack, so the flow deviation can be the difference obtained by subtracting the actual flow rate of air entering the stack from the required flow rate of air entering the stack. This is equivalent to executing steps S4 and S5 only when the gap between the actual flow rate of air entering the stack and the required flow rate of air entering the stack is small, and improving the response speed of power control. When the gap between the actual flow rate of air entering the stack and the required flow rate of air entering the stack is large, the current deviation is the deviation between the original target output current and the actual output current. Power control is performed based on the current deviation between the original target output current and the actual output current. The response speed of power control is slower, which can reduce the probability of gas shortage failure in the fuel cell stack. In some embodiments, the preset flow threshold can be 20-50L / min.

[0086] In some embodiments, in step S4, amplifying the target output current when the target output current is higher than the actual output current, and reducing the target output current when the target output current is lower than the actual output current, may include: amplifying the target output current by a fixed multiple when the target output current is higher than the actual output current, and reducing the target output current by a fixed multiple when the target output current is lower than the actual output current. For example, amplifying the target output current by 1.2 times when the target output current is higher than the actual output current, and reducing the target output current by 0.9 times when the target output current is lower than the actual output current.

[0087] When the amplification and reduction multiples of the target output current are constant, the constant may be too large or too small. If the current deviation between the original target output current and the actual output current is large and the amplification or reduction multiple is too small, resulting in a small change in the current deviation between the target output current and the actual output current after amplification or reduction, the efficiency of power control will be limited; if the current deviation between the original target output current and the actual output current is small and the amplification or reduction multiple is too large, resulting in an excessive increase in the current deviation between the target output current and the actual output current after amplification or reduction, the probability of power overshoot is high. In order to balance the efficiency of power control and the probability of power overshoot, in some embodiments, in step S4, the target output current is amplified when the target output current is higher than the actual output current, and the target output current is reduced when the target output current is lower than the actual output current, which may include:

[0088] When the target output current is higher than the actual output current, based on the positive correlation between the amplification factor and the current deviation, the amplification factor corresponding to the current deviation is determined, and the target output current is amplified by the amplification factor;

[0089] When the target output current is lower than the actual output current, based on the negative correlation between the reduction factor and the current deviation, the reduction factor corresponding to the current deviation is determined, and the target output current is reduced by the reduction factor.

[0090] In some implementations, the positive correlation between the amplification factor and the current deviation and the negative correlation between the reduction factor and the current deviation may be as shown in Table 1.

[0091] Table 1

[0092]

[0093] Subsequently, the current deviation between the amplified or reduced target output current and the actual output current may be repeatedly calculated and updated, and the target output current may be amplified or reduced according to the amplification or reduction multiple in Table 1, thereby controlling the power response speed.

[0094] like Figure 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention also provides a fuel cell system power control device applied to a fuel cell controller, including:

[0095] An acquisition module, used to acquire the vehicle requested power from the vehicle controller, the actual output voltage from the voltage detection module, and the actual output current from the current detection module;

[0100] The control module is used to control the actual output current to change to the original target output current based on the principle that the speed of change of the actual output current to the target output current is positively correlated with the current deviation.

[0103] Determine the maximum power allowed to be output by the fuel cell system under each operating condition parameter;

[0104] The target output power is determined as the minimum value between the maximum power and the vehicle requested power.

[0105] In some embodiments, the preset condition may include that a power deviation between an actual output power of the DC-DC converter and a target output power is greater than a preset power threshold;

[0106] Determine the module, which can also be used to:

[0107] Determine the actual output power according to the actual output voltage and the actual output current;

[0108] Determine the power deviation between the actual output power and the target output power;

[0109] Determine the magnitude relationship between the power deviation and the preset power threshold.

[0115] In some implementations, the determination module may also be used to:

[0116] When the preset condition is not met, a current deviation between the target output current and the actual output current is determined.

[0117] In some implementations, the increment module may be specifically used to:

[0118] When the target output current is higher than the actual output current, the target output current is amplified by a fixed multiple, and when the target output current is lower than the actual output current, the target output current is reduced by a fixed multiple.

[0119] In some implementations, the increment module may be specifically used to:

[0120] When the target output current is higher than the actual output current, based on the positive correlation between the amplification factor and the current deviation, the amplification factor corresponding to the current deviation is determined, and the target output current is amplified by the amplification factor;
