Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vehicle fuel cells, and in particular to a method for diagnosing abnormal humidity during operation of a fuel cell stack. Background Art

[0002] A hydrogen fuel cell is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. It mainly includes a fuel cell stack, a fuel supply system, an air supply system, water and heat management, and an electronic control unit. The working principle of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell is to pass humidified high-purity hydrogen into the anode and humidified air or oxygen into the cathode. High-purity hydrogen generates hydrogen ions and electrons under the action of the anode catalyst layer. The hydrogen ions generated at the anode will reach the cathode through the proton exchange membrane in the form of hydrated hydrogen ions. Oxygen combines with hydrated hydrogen ions under the action of the cathode catalyst to generate water and release heat. Electrons flow from the anode to the cathode from the external circuit to generate current. For a fuel cell stack, abnormal humidity diagnosis of the stack is a key technology of the fuel cell stack system. The timely discovery of abnormal humidity and the determination of the degree are the basis for subsequent humidity control, which directly determines the quality of the stack operation and the life of the stack.

[0063] In one embodiment, Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a method for diagnosing abnormal humidity in a fuel cell stack according to an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to diagnosing and determining the cause of abnormal humidity in a fuel cell stack. The method can be executed by a controller, which can be configured in a vehicle. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0064] S110, obtaining current status information of the battery stack.

[0065] Among them, the current status information of the fuel cell stack includes at least the single cell voltage of the fuel cell stack, the hydrogen pressure entering the stack, the hydrogen pressure leaving the stack and the real-time high-frequency impedance of the fuel cell stack.

[0066] The method of acquiring the voltage of a single cell of the stack may include but is not limited to acquisition through a CVM controller. The method of acquiring the hydrogen pressure entering the stack may include but is not limited to acquisition through a hydrogen pressure sensor entering the stack. The method of acquiring the hydrogen pressure leaving the stack may include but is not limited to acquisition through a hydrogen pressure sensor leaving the stack. The method of acquiring the real-time high-frequency impedance of the stack may include but is not limited to acquisition through an AC impedance spectrum acquisition device.

[0067] S120. Determine the consistency state quantity of the battery stack according to the current state information of the battery stack.

[0068] Among them, the size of the consistency state quantity of the battery stack can indicate the supply situation of the battery stack and determine whether the battery stack is in a normal operating state.

[0069] Specifically, after obtaining the current state information of the battery stack, the consistency state quantity of the battery stack can be determined by a certain calculation formula based on the obtained current state information of the battery stack and the design value of the current state information of the battery stack. Under normal circumstances, the consistency state quantity of the battery stack may include 1 or 0, 1 indicates that the battery stack is supplied normally and is in a normal operating state; 0 indicates that the battery stack is supplied abnormally and is in an abnormal operating state.

[0070] S130 , determining a voltage difference between a maximum cell voltage and a minimum cell voltage and an average cell voltage according to the cell voltages.

[0071] S140, determining the voltage abnormality state quantity of the battery stack according to the voltage difference and the average single cell voltage, in combination with a preset voltage difference threshold and a preset average single cell voltage threshold.

[0072] Among them, the maximum single cell voltage is the maximum value of the voltage of each cell in the battery stack. The minimum single cell voltage is the minimum value of the voltage of each cell in the battery stack. The average single cell voltage is the average value of the single cell voltage calculated by adding the voltages of each cell in the battery stack and dividing it by the number of single cells. The preset voltage differential threshold is the voltage differential threshold between the maximum single cell voltage and the minimum single cell voltage of the battery stack set in advance. The determination of the preset voltage differential threshold may include but is not limited to determining by a two-dimensional chart with a pre-calibrated corresponding relationship, wherein the abscissa of the two-dimensional chart is the battery stack output current, and the ordinate is the corresponding preset voltage differential threshold. The battery stack output current can be obtained by a current sensor or the like. The preset average single cell voltage threshold is the average single cell voltage threshold set in advance. Similarly, the determination of the average single cell voltage threshold may include but is not limited to determining by a two-dimensional chart with a pre-calibrated corresponding relationship, wherein the abscissa of the two-dimensional chart is the battery stack output current, and the ordinate is the corresponding preset average single cell voltage threshold. The requirements for different thresholds under different battery stack working conditions can be better matched by using the battery stack output current through a two-dimensional chart. The voltage abnormality state quantity of the battery stack may indicate whether the voltage of the battery stack is abnormal. The value of the voltage abnormality state quantity of the battery stack may include 0 and 1, where 0 indicates that the voltage of the battery stack is normal and 1 indicates that the voltage of the battery stack is abnormal.

[0073] Specifically, after obtaining the cell voltages of the battery stack, the maximum cell voltage, the minimum cell voltage and the average cell voltage are determined from the obtained cell voltages, and the determined maximum cell voltage and the minimum cell voltage are subtracted to determine the voltage difference. After determining the voltage difference and the average cell voltage, the voltage abnormality state of the battery stack can be determined by combining the preset voltage difference threshold and the preset average cell voltage threshold and using a certain judgment method.

[0074] S150, determining the abnormal power generation state quantity of the fuel cell stack according to the pressure difference between the hydrogen pressure entering the stack and the hydrogen pressure leaving the stack in combination with a preset pressure difference threshold.

[0075] Among them, the preset pressure differential threshold value represents the pressure differential threshold value calibrated in advance. The determination of the preset pressure differential threshold value may include but is not limited to determination through a three-dimensional chart of the corresponding relationship calibrated in advance, in which the X-axis is the output current of the stack, the Y-axis is the coolant temperature out of the stack, and the Z-axis is the corresponding preset pressure differential threshold value. Since the amount of hydrogen consumed by the stack under normal working conditions is fixed under different working conditions, the pressure differential between the hydrogen pressure entering the stack and the hydrogen pressure leaving the stack under different working conditions should be approximately fixed. If the pressure differential value suddenly decreases to a certain value, it means that the amount of hydrogen consumed by the stack is reduced and the working state of the stack is abnormal. In this embodiment, the requirements for different preset pressure differential threshold values ​​under different working conditions of the stack can be better matched by looking up the three-dimensional chart with the output current of the stack and the coolant temperature out of the stack.

[0076] Specifically, after obtaining the hydrogen pressure entering the stack and the hydrogen pressure leaving the stack, the pressure difference between the hydrogen pressure entering the stack and the hydrogen pressure leaving the stack can be determined, and based on the pressure difference, combined with the preset pressure difference threshold, and using certain judgment conditions, the abnormal power generation state of the fuel cell stack can be determined.

[0077] S160. Determine the abnormal increase state quantity and the abnormal decrease state quantity of the impedance value of the battery stack according to the high-frequency impedance value.

[0078] Among them, the high-frequency impedance value is a parameter that can intuitively reflect the water content in the battery stack. The state quantity of the abnormal increase in the impedance value of the battery stack is a parameter reflecting the abnormal increase in the impedance value of the battery stack, and the state quantity of the abnormal decrease in the impedance value is a parameter reflecting the decrease in the impedance value of the battery stack. The state quantity of the abnormal increase in the impedance value can be expressed as 1 and 0, 1 indicates that the impedance value is abnormally increased, and 0 indicates that the impedance value is normally increased. Similarly, the state quantity of the abnormal decrease in the impedance value can be expressed as 1 and 0, 1 indicates that the impedance value is abnormally decreased, and 0 indicates that the impedance value is normally decreased.

[0079] Specifically, after the high-frequency impedance value is obtained, according to the obtained high-frequency impedance value, combined with the high-frequency impedance threshold and the high-frequency impedance value deviation threshold, certain judgment conditions are used to determine the abnormal increase state quantity of the impedance value of the battery stack and the abnormal decrease state quantity of the impedance value. Exemplarily, the high-frequency impedance value deviation threshold may include an upper deviation threshold and a lower deviation threshold. The upper deviation threshold, the high-frequency impedance value, and the high-frequency impedance threshold can be used to determine the abnormal increase state quantity of the impedance value of the battery stack; the lower deviation threshold, the high-frequency impedance value, and the high-frequency impedance threshold can be used to determine the abnormal decrease state quantity of the impedance value of the battery stack.

[0080] S170. Determine the abnormal humidity state of the battery stack based on the consistency state quantity, the voltage abnormal state quantity, the power generation abnormal state quantity, the impedance value abnormal increase state quantity and the impedance value abnormal decrease state quantity.

[0081] The abnormal humidity state of the battery stack includes a membrane dry fault state and a water flood fault state. The membrane dry fault state indicates that the battery stack is in an over-dry state, and the water flood fault state indicates that the battery stack is in an over-humid state.

[0082] Specifically, after determining the consistency state quantity, voltage abnormal state quantity, power generation abnormal state quantity, impedance value abnormal increase state quantity and impedance value abnormal decrease state quantity of the battery stack, when the consistency state quantity of the battery stack is 1, that is, when the battery stack is in a normal operating state, the humidity abnormal state of the battery stack is determined according to the voltage abnormal state quantity, power generation abnormal state quantity, impedance value abnormal increase state quantity and impedance value abnormal decrease state quantity of the battery stack. Specifically, the membrane dry state quantity of the battery stack can be determined according to the voltage abnormal state quantity, power generation abnormal state quantity and impedance value abnormal increase state quantity of the battery stack, so as to determine whether the battery stack is in a membrane dry fault state. When the membrane dry state quantity is 1, the battery stack is in a membrane dry fault state; when the membrane dry state quantity is 0, the battery stack is not in a membrane dry fault state. Similarly, the water flooding state quantity of the battery stack can be determined according to the voltage abnormal state quantity, power generation abnormal state quantity and impedance value abnormal decrease state quantity of the battery stack, so as to determine whether the battery stack is in a water flooding fault state. When the water flooding state quantity is 1, the battery stack is in a water flooding fault state; when the water flooding state quantity is 0, the battery stack is not in a water flooding fault state. This enables diagnosis of the cause of abnormal humidity in the battery stack.

[0083] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention is to obtain the current state information of the battery stack; the current state information of the battery stack includes at least the single cell voltage, the hydrogen pressure entering the stack, the hydrogen pressure leaving the stack and the real-time high-frequency impedance of the battery stack; determine the consistency state quantity of the battery stack according to the current state information of the battery stack; determine the voltage difference between the maximum single cell voltage and the minimum single cell voltage and the average single cell voltage according to the single cell voltage; and determine the voltage abnormal state quantity of the battery stack according to the voltage difference and the average single cell voltage, in combination with a preset voltage difference threshold and a preset average single cell voltage threshold; determine the power generation abnormal state quantity of the battery stack according to the pressure difference between the hydrogen pressure entering the stack and the hydrogen pressure leaving the stack, in combination with a preset pressure difference threshold; determine the impedance value abnormal increase state quantity and the impedance value abnormal decrease state quantity of the battery stack according to the high-frequency impedance value; determine the humidity abnormal state of the battery stack according to the consistency state quantity, the voltage abnormal state quantity, the power generation abnormal state quantity, the impedance value abnormal increase state quantity and the impedance value abnormal decrease state quantity; the humidity abnormal state of the battery stack includes a membrane dry fault state and a water flooding fault state. By using the above method, by obtaining the current status information of the fuel cell stack operation, the humidity abnormality of the fuel cell stack can be accurately determined, which greatly reduces the risk of misjudgment, ensures the stable operation of the fuel cell stack, and improves the service life of the fuel cell stack.

[0084] In another specific embodiment, optionally, Figure 2 This is a flow chart of the second fuel cell stack operating humidity abnormality diagnosis method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment refines the specific implementation method of S120 in the above embodiment, which determines the consistency state quantity of the stack according to the current state information of the stack. The contents that are not yet detailed in this embodiment can be referred to the above embodiment, and will not be repeated here. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0085] S210, obtaining current status information of the battery stack.

[0086] The current status information also includes the air pressure entering the stack, the air flow entering the stack, the coolant outlet temperature and the coolant inlet temperature.

[0087] The method for obtaining the air pressure entering the stack may include but is not limited to collecting and obtaining through the air pressure sensor entering the stack, the method for obtaining the air flow entering the stack may include but is not limited to collecting and obtaining through the air flow sensor entering the stack, the method for obtaining the coolant outlet temperature may include but is not limited to collecting and obtaining through the coolant outlet temperature sensor, and the method for obtaining the coolant inlet temperature may include but is not limited to collecting and obtaining through the coolant inlet temperature sensor, etc.

[0088] S211. Determine the consistency state quantity of the hydrogen pressure entering the stack according to the hydrogen pressure entering the stack and in combination with the preset hydrogen pressure entering the stack.

[0089] Among them, this step can be further refined as follows: according to the hydrogen pressure entering the stack, combined with the preset hydrogen pressure entering the stack, based on the first calculation formula, determine the consistency state quantity of the hydrogen pressure entering the stack; the first calculation formula is: STphin = (Phinset-Phinact) / Phinset, wherein Phinact is the hydrogen pressure entering the stack, Phinset is the preset hydrogen pressure entering the stack, and STphin is the consistency state quantity of the hydrogen pressure entering the stack.

[0090] The preset hydrogen pressure entering the stack may be a design value of the hydrogen pressure entering the stack or an empirical value set based on experience, etc.
