[0002] At present, the rail transit industry is actively promoting the development of hydrogen fuel-powered vehicles to achieve the goal of long driving range. To this end, multiple hydrogen fuel systems are deployed in vehicles. These systems are composed of multiple sub-devices connected in series, which together convert hydrogen into electricity to supply the traction inverter to drive the train. In order to determine the driving range of hydrogen fuel rail vehicles, the driving range of rail vehicles is currently mainly estimated based on the hydrogen inventory in the hydrogen storage tank.

[0003] However, this way of calculating the cruising range has potential risks. Since the hydrogen fuel system is a series structure, the failure of any sub-device may cause the entire system to fail. Even if there is sufficient hydrogen in the hydrogen storage tank, power cannot be supplied to the traction inverter. This means that the current cruising range calculation may not match the actual operating conditions, so that the train cannot achieve the expected cruising range, which may cause the train to stop unplanned on the line, occupy track resources, and thus affect the entire train operation order.

[0091] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0092] The core of this application is to provide a method, device, system and rail vehicle for determining the cruising range of a rail vehicle, so as to solve the problem that the cruising range of a rail vehicle cannot be accurately determined when the hydrogen fuel system fails.

[0093] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0094] Hydrogen-powered rail trains are powered by hydrogen fuel systems. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the network topology and energy flow of a hydrogen-powered EMU provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1As shown, taking the four-carriage hydrogen energy EMU as an example, the whole vehicle is equipped with 4 sets of hydrogen fuel systems. A single hydrogen fuel system includes a hydrogen storage device (including hydrogen tanks and controllers), a fuel cell, and a direct current to direct current converter (DCDC) device, and each device is connected in series in sequence. Among them, the four sets of hydrogen tanks are connected by a hydrogen pipe that runs through the entire train, and the hydrogen pipes of the two adjacent hydrogen tanks are controlled by an energized shut-off valve (referred to as a through valve). Under normal circumstances, the hydrogen in the two adjacent hydrogen tanks is not interconnected, and the through valve is in a closed state. The working principle of the hydrogen fuel system is: the hydrogen storage device controls the hydrogen to enter the fuel cell, and the fuel cell controls the air to enter it to react chemically with the hydrogen, and after converting it into electrical energy, it outputs a voltage of about DC700V, and then it is boosted to DC1500V by the DCDC device to power the high-voltage bus, thereby providing energy for the traction auxiliary system.

[0095] In order to determine the cruising range of hydrogen fuel rail vehicles, the cruising range of rail vehicles is currently estimated mainly based on the hydrogen inventory in the hydrogen storage tank. However, this way of calculating the cruising range has potential risks. Since the hydrogen fuel system is a series structure, the failure of any sub-device may cause the entire system to fail. Even if there is sufficient hydrogen in the hydrogen storage tank, electricity cannot be supplied to the traction inverter. This means that the current cruising range calculation may not be consistent with the actual operating conditions, so that the train cannot achieve the expected cruising range, which may cause the train to stop unplanned on the line, occupy track resources, and thus affect the entire train operation order. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a method for determining the cruising range of rail vehicles.

[0096] Figure 2 A flow chart of a method for determining the cruising range of a rail vehicle provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 The method includes:

[0097] S10: Obtain the total remaining amount of hydrogen in each hydrogen fuel system in the rail vehicle.

[0098] Since there are multiple hydrogen fuel systems in a hydrogen fuel-driven rail vehicle, in order to determine the remaining cruising range of the rail vehicle, it is first necessary to obtain the sum of the hydrogen remaining amounts of each hydrogen fuel system. In specific implementations, since each hydrogen fuel system is involved in the train communication network, the corresponding hydrogen remaining amount can be obtained through the communication network and can also be obtained through the collection unit set in the hydrogen storage tank, and the two are redundant.

[0099] S11: Determine whether each hydrogen fuel system has a fault; if not, proceed to step S12; if so, proceed to step S13.

[0100] S12: Determine the remaining cruising range of the rail vehicle according to the total remaining hydrogen amount.

[0101] Furthermore, each set of hydrogen fuel systems of the rail vehicle is subjected to fault detection to determine whether each set of hydrogen fuel systems has a fault. It should be noted that the specific content of the fault detection of the hydrogen fuel system is not limited in this embodiment, such as communication fault detection, sensor fault detection, and transmission pipeline and line fault detection, etc., depending on the specific implementation situation.

[0102] When it is confirmed that there is no fault in each hydrogen fuel system, it is considered that each hydrogen fuel system is normal at this time, and the sum of the remaining hydrogen in each hydrogen fuel system can fully support the remaining cruising range of the rail vehicle, and the remaining cruising range of the rail vehicle can be directly determined based on the sum of the remaining hydrogen. In this embodiment, the specific method of determining the remaining cruising range of the rail vehicle based on the sum of the remaining hydrogen is not limited, and it depends on the specific implementation situation.

[0103] S13: Eliminate the hydrogen remaining amount of the faulty hydrogen fuel system from the total hydrogen remaining amount to obtain a new total hydrogen remaining amount.

[0104] S14: Determine the remaining cruising range of the rail vehicle according to the new total hydrogen remaining amount.

[0105] If it is confirmed that there is a fault in the hydrogen fuel system, it is considered that the faulty hydrogen fuel system can no longer work properly. Even if its hydrogen storage tank still has hydrogen remaining, it cannot support the remaining range of the rail vehicle. Therefore, in order to accurately determine the remaining range of the rail vehicle, it is necessary to remove the hydrogen remaining of the faulty hydrogen fuel system from the total hydrogen remaining to obtain a new total hydrogen remaining. Taking a four-unit hydrogen-powered EMU as an example, when one of the hydrogen fuel systems fails, the new total hydrogen remaining is the sum of the hydrogen remaining of the remaining three hydrogen fuel systems.

[0106] Finally, the remaining cruising range of the rail vehicle is determined according to the new total amount of hydrogen remaining. It should be noted that in this embodiment, there is no limitation on the specific method of determining the remaining cruising range of the rail vehicle according to the new total amount of hydrogen remaining, which depends on the specific implementation situation.

[0107] In this embodiment, the sum of the remaining hydrogen in each hydrogen fuel system in the rail vehicle is obtained; it is determined whether each hydrogen fuel system has a fault; if not, the remaining cruising range of the rail vehicle is determined based on the sum of the remaining hydrogen; if so, the remaining hydrogen in the faulty hydrogen fuel system is removed from the sum of the remaining hydrogen to obtain a new sum of the remaining hydrogen; the remaining cruising range of the rail vehicle is determined based on the new sum of the remaining hydrogen. It can be seen that this scheme takes into account the actual available remaining hydrogen in each hydrogen fuel system of the rail vehicle under fault conditions, excludes the remaining hydrogen in the faulty hydrogen fuel system from the sum of the remaining hydrogen in each hydrogen fuel system, and only uses the remaining hydrogen in the normally working hydrogen fuel system to calculate the remaining cruising range of the rail vehicle, thereby obtaining the true cruising range, avoiding the inaccurate cruising range calculated solely based on the remaining hydrogen in the hydrogen storage tank, which affects the operation order of the train.

[0108] Based on the above embodiments, in some embodiments, determining whether each hydrogen fuel system has a fault includes:

[0109] S101: Determine in turn whether there are faults in the hydrogen storage device, fuel cell and DCDC device in the hydrogen fuel system; if it is confirmed that there are no faults in the hydrogen storage device, fuel cell and DCDC device in the hydrogen fuel system, proceed to step S102; if it is confirmed that there is a fault in the hydrogen storage device, the fuel cell or the DCDC device in the hydrogen fuel system, proceed to step S103.

[0110] S102: Confirm that there is no fault in the hydrogen fuel system.

[0111] S103: Confirm that there is a fault in the hydrogen fuel system.

[0112] Specifically, since the hydrogen fuel system is composed of a hydrogen storage device, a fuel cell and a DCDC device, in order to determine whether the hydrogen fuel system has a fault, it can be achieved by determining whether the hydrogen storage device, the fuel cell and the DCDC device have a fault.

[0113] It is worth explaining that since the direction of energy flow transmission in the hydrogen fuel system is hydrogen storage device-fuel cell-DCDC device, in order to accurately determine whether the remaining hydrogen in the hydrogen fuel system can support the remaining cruising range, a sequence is required when performing fault detection on each device in the hydrogen fuel system, that is, to determine in turn whether there are faults in the hydrogen storage device, fuel cell and DCDC device in the hydrogen fuel system.

[0114] If it is confirmed that the hydrogen storage device, fuel cell and DCDC device in the hydrogen fuel system are not faulty, then it is confirmed that the hydrogen fuel system is not faulty and the remaining hydrogen in the hydrogen fuel system can support the remaining cruising range. If it is confirmed that the hydrogen storage device in the hydrogen fuel system is faulty, or the fuel cell is faulty, or the DCDC device is faulty, then it is confirmed that the hydrogen fuel system is faulty and the remaining hydrogen in the hydrogen fuel system cannot support the remaining cruising range.

[0115] In summary, accurate fault detection of the hydrogen fuel system is achieved by successively determining whether the hydrogen storage device, fuel cell and DCDC device in the hydrogen fuel system have faults.

[0116] Based on the above embodiments, in some embodiments, determining whether the hydrogen storage device has a fault includes:

[0117] S111: Determine whether there is a communication failure in the hydrogen storage device; if so, proceed to step S113; if not, proceed to step S112.

[0118] S112: Determine whether the hydrogen storage tank of the hydrogen storage device meets the first preset requirement; if not, proceed to step S113.

[0119] S113: Confirm that there is a fault in the hydrogen storage device.

[0120] S114: Confirm that there is no fault in the hydrogen storage device.

[0121] In order to determine whether the hydrogen storage device has a fault, it is specifically necessary to determine whether the hydrogen storage device has a communication fault. It is understandable that each device in a single hydrogen fuel system is connected to the network system for supervision, that is, the train communication network; the network system can supervise the various devices in the hydrogen fuel system through Ethernet. Specifically, when the network cannot receive the life signal of the hydrogen storage device in the hydrogen fuel system for X consecutive cycles, it is determined that there is a communication failure in this device. Therefore, if it is confirmed that there is a communication failure, it is considered that there is a fault in the hydrogen storage device. If it is confirmed that there is no communication failure, it is determined whether the hydrogen storage tank of the hydrogen storage device meets the first preset requirement.

[0122] It should be noted that the causes of communication failure include: failure of the hydrogen fuel system equipment communication board, loose communication connector, damaged communication cable, and data packet loss caused by electromagnetic interference. In addition, this embodiment does not limit the first preset requirement. For example, the hydrogen pressure of the hydrogen storage tank may meet one condition, the hydrogen concentration of the hydrogen storage tank may meet another condition, and the temperature of the hydrogen storage tank may meet a threshold, etc., depending on the specific implementation. If it is confirmed that the hydrogen storage tank does not meet the first preset requirement, it is confirmed that there is a fault in the hydrogen storage device; if it is confirmed that the hydrogen storage tank meets the first preset requirement, it is confirmed that there is no fault in the hydrogen storage device.

[0123] In this embodiment, the fault detection of the hydrogen storage device is achieved by performing communication fault detection on the hydrogen storage device and judging whether the first preset requirement is met.

[0124] Based on the above embodiments, in some embodiments, determining whether the hydrogen storage tank of the hydrogen storage device meets the first preset requirement includes:

[0125] S121: Obtain the hydrogen pressure, hydrogen concentration and bottle valve status in the hydrogen storage tank.

[0126] S122: Determine whether the hydrogen pressure is less than the first threshold, and / or the hydrogen concentration is less than the second threshold, and / or the bottle mouth valve is in a faulty state; if so, proceed to step S123; if not, proceed to step S124.

[0127] S123: Confirm that the hydrogen storage tank does not meet the first preset requirement.

[0128] S124: Confirm that the hydrogen storage tank meets the first preset requirement.

[0129] In a specific implementation, it is determined whether the hydrogen storage tank of the hydrogen storage device meets the first preset requirement, specifically whether the hydrogen pressure is less than a first threshold, and / or the hydrogen concentration is less than a second threshold, and / or the bottle mouth valve is in a fault state.

[0130] It should be noted that the hydrogen pressure and concentration of the hydrogen storage tank are sensed by the corresponding sensors, and the bottle mouth valve status is obtained based on the energized contacts. The bottle mouth valve is open or closed based on the status of the energized contacts; when the bottle mouth valve status is inconsistent with the control instruction, it is determined to be a bottle mouth valve failure, and the hydrogen is controlled not to be output. Hydrogen concentration and pressure sensors are installed at the parts where leakage may occur at the mouth, tail and pipe joints of the gas cylinder to detect the hydrogen concentration and pressure in real time.

[0131] Therefore, if it is confirmed that the hydrogen pressure is less than the first threshold value, and / or the hydrogen concentration is less than the second threshold value, and / or the bottle mouth valve is in a faulty state, it is confirmed that the hydrogen storage tank does not meet the first preset requirement, and it is considered that the hydrogen storage device is faulty. If it is confirmed that the hydrogen pressure is not less than the first threshold value, and the hydrogen concentration is not less than the second threshold value, and the bottle mouth valve is not in a faulty state, it is confirmed that the hydrogen storage tank meets the first preset requirement, and it is considered that the hydrogen storage device is not faulty.

[0132] It should be noted that in this embodiment, there is no restriction on the first threshold and the second threshold, which depend on the specific implementation situation.

[0133] Based on the above embodiments, in some embodiments, determining whether a fuel cell has a fault includes:

[0134] S131: Determine whether there is a communication failure in the fuel cell; if so, proceed to step S133; if not, proceed to step S132.

[0135] S132: Determine whether the fuel cell meets the second preset requirement; if not, proceed to step S133; if yes, proceed to step S134.

[0136] S133: confirming that the fuel cell is faulty;

[0137] S134: Confirm that there is no fault in the fuel cell.

[0138] In order to determine whether there is a fault in the fuel cell, it is specifically determined whether there is a communication fault in the fuel cell. It is understandable that each device in a single hydrogen fuel system is connected to the network system for supervision, and the network system can supervise each device of the hydrogen fuel system through Ethernet. Specifically, when the network cannot receive the life signal of the fuel cell in the hydrogen fuel system for X consecutive cycles, it is determined that there is a communication fault in this device. Therefore, if it is confirmed that there is a communication fault in the fuel cell, it is considered that there is a fault in the fuel cell. If it is confirmed that there is no communication fault in the fuel cell, it is determined whether the fuel cell meets the second preset requirement.

[0139] It should be noted that the second preset requirement is not limited in this embodiment, for example, the input hydrogen pressure or concentration of the fuel cell may meet a threshold value, or the relay may be put into normal operation, etc., depending on the specific implementation situation. If it is confirmed that the fuel cell does not meet the second preset requirement, it is confirmed that the fuel cell is faulty. If it is confirmed that the fuel cell meets the second preset requirement, it is confirmed that the fuel cell is not faulty.

[0140] In this embodiment, the fault detection of the fuel cell is achieved by performing communication fault detection on the fuel cell and determining whether the second preset requirement is met.

[0141] Based on the above embodiment, in some embodiments, determining whether the fuel cell meets the second preset requirement includes:

[0142] S141: Obtain the input hydrogen pressure of the fuel cell, the state of the input relay, and the state of the fault relay.

[0143] S142: Determine whether the input hydrogen pressure is less than a third threshold when the bottle mouth valve of the hydrogen storage device is in an open state; if so, proceed to step S143; if not, proceed to step S144.

[0144] S143: Confirm that the hydrogen supply line is faulty, and confirm that the fuel cell does not meet the second preset requirement.

[0145] S144: Determine whether the input relay is in a faulty state and / or whether the faulty relay has a signal output; if so, proceed to step S145; if not, proceed to step S146.

[0146] S145: Confirm that the fuel cell does not meet the second preset requirement.

[0147] S146: Confirm that the fuel cell meets the second preset requirement.

[0148] In a specific implementation, to determine whether the fuel cell meets the second preset requirement, it is specifically necessary to obtain the input hydrogen pressure of the fuel cell, the state of the input relay, and the state of the fault relay. It is understandable that the input hydrogen pressure of the fuel cell, the state of the input relay, and the state of the fault relay can be obtained through the train communication network. Determine whether the input hydrogen pressure is less than the third threshold when the bottle valve of the hydrogen storage device is in an open state. If it is confirmed that the input hydrogen pressure is less than the third threshold, it is confirmed that the hydrogen supply circuit is faulty, and it is confirmed that the fuel cell does not meet the second preset requirement; if it is confirmed that the input hydrogen pressure is not less than the third threshold, it is determined whether the input relay is in a faulty state, and / or the fault relay has a signal output.

[0149] If it is confirmed that the input relay is in a faulty state and / or the faulty relay has a signal output, it is confirmed that a relay fault exists and that the fuel cell does not meet the second preset requirement; if it is confirmed that the input relay is not in a faulty state and the faulty relay has no signal output, it is confirmed that the fuel cell meets the second preset requirement.

[0150] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, there is no restriction on the size of the third threshold, which depends on the specific implementation situation.

[0151] Based on the above embodiments, in some embodiments, determining whether the DCDC device has a fault includes:

[0152] S151: Determine whether there is a communication failure in the DCDC device; if so, proceed to step S153; if not, proceed to step S152.

[0153] S152: Determine whether the DCDC device meets the third preset requirement; if so, proceed to step S153; if not, proceed to step S154.

[0154] S153: Confirm that the DCDC device is faulty.

[0155] S154: Confirm that there is no fault in the DCDC device.

[0156] In order to determine whether the DCDC device has a fault, it is specifically determined whether the DCDC device has a communication fault. It is understandable that each device in a single hydrogen fuel system is connected to the network system for supervision, and the network system can supervise each device of the hydrogen fuel system through Ethernet. Specifically, when the network cannot receive the life signal of the DCDC device in the hydrogen fuel system for X consecutive cycles, it is determined that there is a communication fault in this device. Therefore, if it is confirmed that there is a communication fault in the DCDC device, it is considered that there is a fault in the DCDC device. If it is confirmed that there is no communication fault in the DCDC device, it is determined whether the DCDC device meets the third preset requirement.

[0157] It should be noted that in this embodiment, there is no restriction on the third preset requirement, for example, the input side voltage of the DCDC device may meet the threshold, or the output side voltage of the DCDC device may meet the train use requirement, depending on the specific implementation situation. If it is confirmed that the DCDC device does not meet the third preset requirement, it is confirmed that the DCDC device has a fault; if it is confirmed that the DCDC device meets the third preset requirement, it is confirmed that the DCDC device does not have a fault.

[0158] In this embodiment, by performing communication fault detection on the DCDC device and judging whether the third preset requirement is met, fault detection on the DCDC device is achieved.

[0159] Based on the above embodiments, in some embodiments, determining whether the DCDC device meets the third preset requirement includes:

[0160] S161: Obtain the input side voltage, output side voltage and status of the fault relay of the DCDC device.

[0161] S162: Determine whether the input side voltage is 0 when the actual output power of the fuel cell is greater than 0; if so, proceed to step S163; if not, proceed to step S164.

[0162] S163: confirming that a power supply line from the fuel cell to the DCDC device is faulty, and confirming that the DCDC device does not meet a third preset requirement.

[0163] S164: Determine whether the output side voltage is greater than 0, and detect that no preset voltage is output to the bus; if so, proceed to step S165; if not, proceed to step S166.

[0164] S165: confirming that the power supply line from the DCDC device to the bus is faulty, and confirming that the DCDC device does not meet the third preset requirement;

[0165] S166: Determine whether the fault relay has a signal output; if so, confirm that the DCDC device does not meet the third preset requirement; if not, confirm that the DCDC device meets the third preset requirement.

[0166] In a specific implementation, in order to determine whether the DCDC device meets the third preset requirement, it is specifically necessary to obtain the input side voltage, the output side voltage and the state of the fault relay of the DCDC device.

[0167] It is understandable that both the input side voltage and the output side voltage of the DCDC device can be detected in real time through the voltage transformer, and the state of the fault relay of the DCDC device can be obtained through the train communication network. It is determined whether the input side voltage is 0 when the actual output power of the fuel cell is greater than 0. If it is confirmed that the input side voltage is 0 when the actual output power of the fuel cell is greater than 0, it is considered that the power supply line from the fuel cell to the DCDC device is faulty, and it is confirmed that the DCDC device does not meet the third preset requirement.

[0168] If it is confirmed that when the actual output power of the fuel cell is greater than 0, the input side voltage is not 0, then it is determined whether the output side voltage is greater than 0, and it is detected that no preset voltage is output to the bus. If it is confirmed that the output side voltage is greater than 0, and it is detected that no preset voltage is output to the bus, it is considered that although the hydrogen fuel system is operating normally, there is no output voltage to the bus, and it is confirmed that the power supply line from the DCDC device to the bus is faulty, and it is confirmed that the DCDC device does not meet the third preset requirement. It should be noted that in this embodiment, there is no restriction on the preset voltage size, for example, it can be DC1500V.

[0169] If it is confirmed that the output side voltage is greater than 0 and it is detected that a preset voltage is output to the bus, it is determined whether the fault relay of the DCDC device has a signal output; if so, it is confirmed that the DCDC device does not meet the third preset requirement; if not, it is confirmed that the DCDC device meets the third preset requirement.

[0170] In summary, the fault judgment of the hydrogen storage device, the fuel cell and the DCDC device is accurately achieved respectively.

[0171] It can be seen from the above embodiments that although the hydrogen fuel system has a fault in some cases, only when the fuel cell fails or the DCDC device fails, there is still residual hydrogen in the hydrogen storage tank of the hydrogen storage device that can be used. Therefore, in order to improve the fuel utilization efficiency, based on the above embodiments, in some embodiments, if it is confirmed that the fuel cell has a fault, it also includes:

[0172] S171: When a communication failure occurs in the fuel cell, control is performed to open a through valve between the hydrogen storage tank of the current hydrogen fuel system and the hydrogen storage tank of the adjacent hydrogen fuel system.

[0173] S172: When other faults occur in the fuel cell, the fuel cell is cut off and the through valve between the hydrogen storage tank of the current hydrogen fuel system and the hydrogen storage tank of the adjacent hydrogen fuel system is opened.

[0174] S173: Determine whether the through valve is normally opened; if so, determine the remaining cruising range of the rail vehicle based on the hydrogen remaining amount of the current hydrogen fuel system and the hydrogen remaining amount of other normal hydrogen fuel systems.

[0175] Specifically, when there is a communication failure in the fuel cell, the hydrogen storage device of the current hydrogen fuel system can still work normally. Therefore, the through valve between the hydrogen storage tank of the current hydrogen fuel system and the hydrogen storage tank of the adjacent hydrogen fuel system is controlled to open, so that the hydrogen of the current hydrogen fuel system can be used by the adjacent hydrogen fuel system, thereby increasing the cruising range of the rail vehicle.

[0176] When other faults occur in the fuel cell, it is necessary to control the cutting off of the faulty fuel cell to avoid the safety risks that may be caused by the faulty fuel cell, and at the same time control the opening of the through valve between the hydrogen storage tank of the current hydrogen fuel system and the hydrogen storage tank of the adjacent hydrogen fuel system.

[0177] Finally, determine whether the through valve is opened normally. If it is confirmed that the through valve cannot be opened normally, the process ends, and the remaining hydrogen amount of the faulty hydrogen fuel system is not considered. The remaining hydrogen amount of the normal hydrogen fuel system is still used to determine the remaining cruising range of the rail vehicle. If it is confirmed that the through valve can be opened normally, the remaining cruising range of the rail vehicle is determined based on the remaining hydrogen amount of the current hydrogen fuel system and the remaining hydrogen amount of the other normal hydrogen fuel systems.

[0178] Correspondingly, in some embodiments, if it is confirmed that the DCDC device has a communication failure, the method further includes:

[0179] S181: Control the removal of the fuel cell;

[0180] S182: Control to open a through valve between the hydrogen storage tank of the current hydrogen fuel system and the hydrogen storage tank of the adjacent hydrogen fuel system;

[0181] S183: Determine whether the through valve is opened normally; if so, determine the remaining cruising range of the rail vehicle based on the hydrogen remaining amount of the current hydrogen fuel system and the hydrogen remaining amount of other normal hydrogen fuel systems.

[0182] Specifically, when there is a communication failure in the DCDC device, the fuel cell is controlled to be cut off, that is, the energy conversion of the hydrogen fuel system is stopped; at the same time, the through valve between the hydrogen storage tank of the current hydrogen fuel system and the hydrogen storage tank of the adjacent hydrogen fuel system is controlled to open, so that the hydrogen of the current hydrogen fuel system can be used by the adjacent hydrogen fuel system, thereby increasing the cruising range of the rail vehicle.

[0183] Finally, determine whether the through valve is opened normally. If it is confirmed that the through valve cannot be opened normally, the process ends, and the remaining hydrogen amount of the faulty hydrogen fuel system is not considered. The remaining hydrogen amount of the normal hydrogen fuel system is still used to determine the remaining cruising range of the rail vehicle. If it is confirmed that the through valve can be opened normally, the remaining cruising range of the rail vehicle is determined based on the remaining hydrogen amount of the current hydrogen fuel system and the remaining hydrogen amount of the other normal hydrogen fuel systems.

[0184] Correspondingly, in some embodiments, if it is confirmed that the power supply line from the fuel cell to the DCDC device is faulty, or it is confirmed that the power supply line from the DCDC device to the bus is faulty, or it is confirmed that the fault relay of the DCDC device has a signal output, it also includes:

[0185] S191: Control to cut off the fuel cell and DCDC device.

[0186] S192: Control to open the through valve between the hydrogen storage tank of the current hydrogen fuel system and the hydrogen storage tank of the adjacent hydrogen fuel system.

[0187] S193: Determine whether the through valve is normally opened; if so, determine the remaining cruising range of the rail vehicle based on the hydrogen remaining amount of the current hydrogen fuel system and the hydrogen remaining amount of other normal hydrogen fuel systems.

[0188] Specifically, when it is confirmed that the power supply line from the fuel cell to the DCDC device is faulty, or when it is confirmed that the power supply line from the DCDC device to the busbar is faulty, or when it is confirmed that the fault relay of the DCDC device has a signal output, the fuel cell and the DCDC device are controlled to be cut off, that is, the energy conversion and electrical energy output of the hydrogen fuel system are stopped, and at the same time, the through valve between the hydrogen storage tank of the current hydrogen fuel system and the hydrogen storage tank of the adjacent hydrogen fuel system is controlled to open, so that the hydrogen of the current hydrogen fuel system can be used by the adjacent hydrogen fuel system, thereby increasing the cruising range of the rail vehicle.

[0189] Finally, determine whether the through valve is opened normally. If it is confirmed that the through valve cannot be opened normally, the process ends, and the remaining hydrogen amount of the faulty hydrogen fuel system is not considered. The remaining hydrogen amount of the normal hydrogen fuel system is still used to determine the remaining cruising range of the rail vehicle. If it is confirmed that the through valve can be opened normally, the remaining cruising range of the rail vehicle is determined based on the remaining hydrogen amount of the current hydrogen fuel system and the remaining hydrogen amount of the other normal hydrogen fuel systems.

[0190] In order to determine the remaining cruising range of the rail vehicle, based on the above embodiments, in some embodiments, the remaining cruising range of the rail vehicle is determined according to the total amount of hydrogen remaining, including:

[0191] S200: Obtaining the cumulative hydrogen consumption and cumulative mileage of the rail vehicle.

[0192] S201: Determine a hydrogen consumption rate according to the accumulated hydrogen consumption and the accumulated driving mileage.

[0193] S202: Determine the remaining cruising range based on the hydrogen consumption rate and the sum of the remaining hydrogen.

[0194] Specifically, first obtain the cumulative hydrogen consumption Q and cumulative mileage S of the rail vehicle, and determine the hydrogen consumption rate A according to the cumulative hydrogen consumption Q and cumulative mileage S, specifically A=Q / S. It can be understood that the hydrogen consumption rate is the hydrogen consumption per unit mileage. Finally, the remaining cruising range is determined according to the hydrogen consumption rate A and the total hydrogen remaining amount W:

[0195] L = W / A;

[0196] Among them, L is the remaining cruising range.

[0197] It should be noted that when there is a faulty hydrogen fuel system, the hydrogen remaining of the faulty hydrogen fuel system is eliminated to obtain a new total hydrogen remaining amount. The specific process of determining the remaining cruising range of the rail vehicle based on the new total hydrogen remaining amount is the same as the above process, and only the total hydrogen remaining amount W needs to be replaced with the new total hydrogen remaining amount Y.

[0198] In addition, in order to prevent hydrogen fuel system failures from affecting the normal operation of rail trains, redundant design is an important means to improve the reliability and fault tolerance of hydrogen fuel systems. Specifically, redundant design includes two main aspects:

[0199] On the one hand, by deploying multiple independent hydrogen fuel systems, the train's endurance can be significantly improved. Each system is equipped with complete components such as hydrogen storage, fuel cell stacks, and DCDC devices, and operates independently of each other. When one of the systems fails to work properly due to a fault, other systems can seamlessly take over the power supply to ensure the continued operation of the train. This design not only avoids the risk of train shutdowns caused by single point failures, but also improves the availability and reliability of the overall system.

[0200] On the other hand, a redundant design strategy is adopted for key components such as hydrogen storage devices, fuel cell stacks and DCDC devices. That is, a backup component is added to the system to run in parallel with the main component or in standby mode. When the main component fails, the backup component can quickly switch and take over the work, thereby minimizing the impact of the failure on system performance. For example, multiple hydrogen storage tanks are set in the hydrogen storage device, or backup battery units are configured in the fuel cell stack, and redundant conversion modules are prepared for the DCDC device. In this way, even if a key component fails, the system can still maintain stable operation, thereby ensuring the train's endurance and safety.

[0201] By combining multiple hydrogen fuel systems and redundancy of key components, a highly reliable hydrogen fuel power system with strong fault recovery capabilities can be built to effectively respond to various potential fault situations and ensure the stable and safe operation of rail transit vehicles.
