[0002] With economic globalization and the continuous development of modern technology, human demand for energy is increasing daily. Meanwhile, fossil fuels, upon which early industrial production relied, are facing depletion and constraining the development of human society. Hydrogen energy, as a clean energy source with high power generation efficiency, high calorific value, and diverse sources, has attracted much attention. Among them, proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) possess advantages such as high energy conversion efficiency, high power density, and fast start-up speed, occupying a leading position in the application market and possessing broad development prospects.

[0003] Currently, proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) have been applied to varying degrees across different industries. However, in actual operation, the output performance of PEMFC systems is affected by operational factors such as gas flow rate, temperature, and humidity, as well as various environmental factors. Furthermore, PEMFC systems are prone to malfunctions such as reactant shortages, which can impact their operational status. Additionally, sensors, as a crucial tool for monitoring the performance of PEMFC systems, can also affect their output performance if they malfunction.
