Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of fuel cell technology, and in particular to a method and system for diagnosing and estimating the health status of a fuel cell based on polarization characteristics. Background Art

[0002] Due to their high energy efficiency and zero emissions, proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) have become an indispensable component of future green energy structures. However, PEMFC systems are complex, with the stack being subject to the coupling of multiple physical fields: gas, water, electricity, and heat. External auxiliary equipment such as air compressors, flow controllers, and humidifiers are difficult to coordinate and control. Abnormal health conditions are numerous and complex, making their precise location and assessment difficult. To enhance the operational reliability and safety of PEMFC systems, low-cost, high-performance fuel cell health diagnostic technologies are essential.

[0003] Currently, fuel cell health diagnosis methods are primarily categorized as physical model-based and data-driven. Mechanism-based methods construct numerical analysis models encompassing multiple mechanisms, such as electrochemistry, heat transfer, and two-phase flow in porous media, and rely on analyzing the residuals between predicted and measured values ​​to detect health status. However, mechanistic models typically only consider the physical fields of gas, water, electricity, and heat, enabling health diagnosis of only a localized physical field. Furthermore, strong coupling effects between these fields significantly impact diagnostic reliability, making diagnostic results dependent on expert experience. Data-driven diagnostic methods, on the other hand, first extract fuel cell health status features, typically derived from global time series of voltage, pressure, and temperature. Frequency-domain features such as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and distribution relaxation time (DRT) are also used for health status feature extraction. Health status features are then classified using machine learning algorithms such as least-squares support vector machines and XGBoost, or deep learning models such as self-attention and bidirectional gated recurrent units. However, data-driven diagnostic methods are heavily dependent on data quality, and complex prediction algorithms are difficult to deploy on hardware devices. Therefore, using such methods to implement health status diagnosis raises the problem of how to extract high-information-dimensional health status features.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a fuel cell health status diagnosis method with high accuracy, low implementation cost and no reliance on expert experience is an important issue that the industry urgently needs to solve. Summary of the Invention

[0064] Due to its high energy efficiency and zero emissions, PEMFC systems have become an indispensable component of the future green energy mix. However, PEMFC systems are complex, with the stack being subject to the multi-physics coupling of gas, water, electricity, and heat. External auxiliary equipment such as air compressors, flow controllers, and humidifiers are difficult to coordinate and control. Abnormal health conditions are numerous and complex, making their precise location and assessment challenging. To enhance the operational reliability and safety of PEMFC systems, low-cost, high-performance fuel cell health diagnostic technologies are essential.

[0065] Currently, fuel cell health diagnosis methods are primarily categorized as physical model-based and data-driven. Mechanism-based methods construct numerical analysis models encompassing multiple mechanisms, such as electrochemistry, heat transfer, and two-phase flow in porous media, and rely on analyzing the residuals between predicted and measured values ​​to detect health status. However, mechanistic models typically only consider the physical fields of gas, water, electricity, and heat, enabling health diagnosis in only a limited range of physical fields. Furthermore, strong coupling effects between these fields significantly impact diagnostic reliability, making diagnostic results dependent on expert experience. Data-driven diagnostic methods, on the other hand, first extract fuel cell health status features, typically derived from global time series of voltage, pressure, and temperature. Frequency-domain features such as EIS and DRT are also used for health status feature extraction. These health status features are then classified using machine learning algorithms such as least-squares support vector machines and XGBoost, or deep learning models such as self-attention and bidirectional gated recurrent units. However, data-driven diagnostic methods rely heavily on data quality, making complex prediction algorithms difficult to deploy on hardware. Therefore, implementing health status diagnosis using these methods presents the challenge of extracting high-dimensional health status features.

[0066] In summary, how to provide a fuel cell health status diagnosis method with high accuracy, low implementation cost and no reliance on expert experience is an important issue that needs to be solved urgently in the industry.

[0158] In formula (24), f i represents the frequency corresponding to the i-th identifiable polarization process, Z i represents f i Impedance sequence corresponding to frequency bands.

[0159] The DRT peak area S can be expressed as:

[0161] In formula (25), S i represents the peak area corresponding to the i-th identifiable polarization process.

[0162] See also Figure 4 , each identifiable polarization process appears as a semicircle in the frequency-impedance coordinate system. Assuming f i Satisfy f i =[f i1 ,f i2 ,…,f iκ ], f ij represents the jth sampling point of the i-th identifiable polarization process. The peak area is calculated by integrating all sampling points of each identifiable polarization process. Then S i (f i ) can be expressed as:

[0164] In formula (26), f i1 represents the initial frequency of the i-th peak frequency band; Indicates the end frequency of the i-th peak frequency band.

[0165] Then the peak area S=[S1(f1),S2(f2),…,S κ (f κ )] is considered as the κ fault characteristics of the current fuel cell, so we can get Among them, X pol Represents the polarization impedance characteristics of the sample, X i represents the polarization impedance characteristics of the i-th sample, and L represents the total number of sample data.

[0177]

[0178] In formula (28), e i represents the i-th prediction error; a i represents the i-th Lagrange coefficient.

[0179] By taking partial derivatives of θ, b, e, and α, we can obtain the fuel cell health status diagnosis model under the optimal solution conditions, namely:

[0182] That is, a least squares support vector machine is constructed based on a preset Gaussian function to obtain an initial fuel cell health status diagnostic model, and then the initial fuel cell health status diagnostic model is used to classify the sample fusion features to obtain several groups of health status. Then, a Lagrangian function of the initial fuel cell health status diagnostic model is constructed, and the Lagrangian function is used to adjust the bias and weight of the initial fuel cell health status diagnostic model until the prediction error of the health status is less than the preset value, thereby obtaining a trained fuel cell health status diagnostic model.

Since the fuel cell health status diagnosis model is also constructed based on multiple physical fields with multiple conditions during the training process, the proton exchange membrane fuel cell model is obtained to extract the sample polarization health status characteristics of the sample battery under typical working conditions. At the same time, the sample polarization health status characteristics use sample activation loss to characterize hydrogen leakage loss, sample ohmic loss to characterize membrane resistance increase loss, and sample concentration loss to characterize electrochemical active surface area loss, thereby representing the degradation mechanism of the sample battery, and use radial basis function as a discrete basis to extract the DRT of the sample electrochemical impedance spectrum. DRT can identify polarization processes with different time constants in complex electrochemical systems. The time constants and impedance sizes of different electrochemical processes can be accurately separated and quantified based on the position and area of ​​the peak in the DRT, thereby directly obtaining the time scale distribution of the system under study.
