Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of fuel cell technology, and in particular to a fuel cell engine bench durability testing method, apparatus, and computer equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Zero carbon and zero pollution are the future trend of power development. The principle of proton exchange membrane fuel cell is to use the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen to directly convert chemical energy into electrical energy. Due to its advantages such as high energy conversion efficiency and no pollution, hydrogen fuel cell is one of the best solutions to achieve the above goals.
[0003] A method and apparatus for predicting the lifespan of a fuel cell engine based on measured correlation are disclosed. The structure and method include: acquiring the unit cycle operating conditions of the fuel cell engine to be predicted; conducting a durability test; obtaining the average single-cell voltage decay rate based on the average single-cell voltage corresponding to the reference current point; calculating the average single-cell voltage decay rate under actual vehicle operation; obtaining an acceleration factor based on the average single-cell voltage decay rate and the average single-cell voltage decay rate; and obtaining the predicted mileage range for the lifespan of the fuel cell engine to be predicted. This patent's lifespan prediction for fuel cell engines is aimed at the overall fuel cell engine industry, but it only assesses the lifespan of fuel cell engines under a specific operating condition. Its test conditions are not applicable to fuel cell engines in heavy-duty commercial vehicles.
[0004] A method for predicting the lifespan of a fuel cell stack and its application in engine systems and vehicles. The method includes providing a fuel cell engine system and vehicle prototype, catalyst material samples, analyzing them, establishing a data model, inputting the analyzed data into the data model to form an initial state database; conducting accelerated degradation experiments under different lifespan acceleration conditions or a fixed accelerated durability method, and designing and verifying accelerated verification samples through these experiments; extending the operating life of the fuel cell engine system and vehicle prototype through external intervention, and then calibrating and solidifying the extended-life prototype; obtaining samples of the catalyst layer inside the stack for analysis and comparison, and quantitatively evaluating the current lifespan standard. This patent utilizes the internal microstructure of the fuel cell stack to predict its lifespan, which requires disassembling the stack with specialized equipment, resulting in high costs, significant difficulty, and impracticality for actual products.
[0005] Therefore, this invention proposes a more scientific, specific, and practical bench durability test method for fuel cell engines that conforms to the actual operating conditions of heavy-duty commercial vehicles. This method accurately predicts the lifespan of fuel cell engines in heavy-duty commercial vehicles. The invention focuses on collecting test road profiles of the entire vehicle and simultaneously collecting data on the operating conditions of the fuel cell engine. It also provides detailed explanations of the formulation of bench test conditions, detailed descriptions of the test process and specific operations, and detailed analysis of the test data, thereby demonstrating the advanced nature of this test method.
[0006] With the development of fuel cell technology, durability (i.e., service life) remains a crucial factor restricting the large-scale commercial application of fuel cell engines. In recent years, fuel cell engine durability has been a key research focus in industry testing. However, using real-world driving tests to predict the lifespan of fuel cell engines requires significant time, manpower, material resources, and financial investment, making it difficult to adopt widely within the industry.

A fuel cell engine bench durability test method, characterized by, The test method comprises: selecting at least one heavy commercial vehicle to perform a heavy commercial vehicle working condition hub test, each vehicle type performing multiple tests, collecting fuel cell engine operation data, the heavy commercial vehicle including a truck, a dump truck and a tractor, preliminarily fitting the same type of engine operation conditions of the heavy commercial vehicles of different types to form a primary stage durability test condition; performing a heavy commercial vehicle actual road test, collecting fuel cell engine operation data, the heavy commercial vehicle being a vehicle equipped with a fuel cell engine, fitting the same type of engine operation conditions of the heavy commercial vehicles of different types to form an advanced version of a bench durability test condition; combining the primary stage durability test condition and the advanced version of the bench durability test condition to fit a fuel cell engine bench durability test condition; performing a bench durability test using the fuel cell engine bench durability test condition to obtain test data; comparing the vehicle test data and the bench test data to draw a conclusion.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein, Before performing the bench durability test using the fuel cell engine bench durability test condition, a bench performance test is first performed to record test data.
3. The method of claim 2, wherein, After performing the bench durability test using the fitted test condition, a bench performance test is again performed to record test data.
4. The method according to any one of claims 1 to 3, characterized in that, The running time of the vehicle actual road test is the same as that of the hub test.
5. A fuel cell engine bench durability test device characterized by comprising: The device comprises: a recording module for recording test data, including: selecting at least one heavy commercial vehicle to perform a heavy commercial vehicle working condition hub test, each vehicle type performing multiple tests, collecting fuel cell engine operation data; performing a heavy commercial vehicle actual road test, collecting fuel cell engine operation data; the heavy commercial vehicle including a truck, a dump truck and a tractor; the heavy commercial vehicle being a vehicle equipped with a fuel cell engine; a fitting module for preliminarily fitting the same type of engine operation conditions of the heavy commercial vehicles of different types to form a primary stage durability test condition; fitting the same type of engine operation conditions of the heavy commercial vehicles of different types to form an advanced version of a bench durability test condition; combining the primary stage durability test condition and the advanced version of the bench durability test condition to fit a fuel cell engine bench durability test condition; a comparison module for comparing and analyzing each group of test data, each group of test data including vehicle test data and bench test data, including: performing a bench durability test using the fuel cell engine bench durability test condition to obtain test data; comparing the vehicle test data and the bench test data to draw a conclusion. 6.A computer device, comprising a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program, and the computer device is configured to perform the method according to any one of claims 1-6 when the computer program is executed by the processor. The processor executes the computer program to implement the steps of the method of any one of claims 1 to 4.
7. A computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a computer program, characterized in that, The computer program is executed by the processor to implement the steps of the method of any one of claims 1 to 4.
8. A computer program product comprising a computer program, characterized in that, The computer program is executed by the processor to implement the steps of the method of any one of claims 1 to 4.
