[0027] Step 140: Determine a third influencing factor model of degradation of the target fuel cell based on the operating condition parameters.

[0028] The present application uses the operating condition parameters collected in the experiment to determine the third influencing factor model of the target fuel cell degradation. Specifically, the present application calculates the parameters of the third influencing factor model based on the operating condition parameters, thereby determining the third influencing factor model of the target fuel cell degradation.

[0029] Step 150: Calculate the remaining life of the target fuel cell based on the current operating state parameters, current operating environment parameters, current operating condition parameters, the first influencing factor model, the second influencing factor model, and the third influencing factor model of the target fuel cell.

[0038] Based on different operating condition parameters (including total number of starts, total number of stops, idle time, high load duration, and low load duration), the present application fits the relationship between different operating condition parameters and the third influence coefficient, so that the third influence coefficient corresponding to the current operating condition parameters (corresponding to a combination of multiple parameters such as total number of starts, total number of stops, idle time, high load duration, and low load duration) can be obtained based on this relationship.

[0039] In one embodiment, the specific implementation method of the above step 150 may be: based on the current operating state parameters and the first influencing factor model, calculate the first decay coefficient of the target fuel cell; based on the current operating environment parameters and the second influencing factor model, calculate the second decay coefficient of the target fuel cell; based on the current operating condition parameters and the third influencing factor model, calculate the third decay coefficient of the target fuel cell; based on the first decay coefficient, the second decay coefficient and the third decay coefficient, calculate the remaining life of the target fuel cell.

[0043] Specifically, after calculating the first decay coefficient, the second decay coefficient and the third decay coefficient, the present application calculates the decay ratio of the target fuel cell based on the first decay coefficient, the second decay coefficient and the third decay coefficient, and estimates the remaining life of the target fuel cell based on the decay ratio of the target fuel cell. The calculation formula of the decay ratio of the target fuel cell is as follows: ; in, is the degradation ratio of the target fuel cell.

[0044] The present application can calculate the output power of the target fuel cell based on the operating state parameters. If the output power drops to 80% of the initial power, the target fuel cell is determined to be failed (i.e., the end of the life of the target fuel cell), i.e. ;in, is the actual output power of the target fuel cell at the current moment; is the initial power of the target fuel cell.

[0045] In one embodiment, the above-mentioned fuel cell life prediction method may further include: calculating the power generation efficiency of the target fuel cell based on the operating state parameters; and determining the remaining life of the target fuel cell based on the power generation efficiency of the target fuel cell.

[0046] The present application can also calculate the power generation efficiency of the target fuel cell based on the operating state parameters. If the power generation efficiency of the target fuel cell is lower than a preset threshold, the target fuel cell is determined to be failed, and the remaining life of the target fuel cell is predicted accordingly. Preferably, the present application can use the power generation efficiency to predict the remaining life of the target fuel cell to verify the remaining life predicted based on the decay ratio, thereby further improving the accuracy of the remaining life prediction of the target fuel cell.
