[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.

[0027] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the invention as claimed, but rather merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are intended to fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] In order to facilitate relevant technical personnel to have a clearer and more accurate understanding of the technical solutions of the present invention, the technical problems existing in the prior art are described in more detail below with reference to examples.

[0029] Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) have significant application value in energy storage and clean power generation due to their efficient energy conversion, environmental friendliness, and long lifespan. The development of SOFC technology has undergone a transition from traditional electrochemical monitoring to data-driven intelligence. Early research primarily relied on equivalent circuit models and threshold detection methods to analyze battery status, but these methods exhibit limitations in capturing the complex characteristics of SOFCs at high temperatures (600-1000°C) and during dynamic degradation. With the rise of data-driven technologies and artificial intelligence (AI), the field of battery health monitoring has ushered in new development opportunities.

[0030] Although existing technologies have promoted the development of battery monitoring technology, the following problems and challenges still exist in the field of SOFC condition monitoring and health diagnosis: First, data collection limitations. Existing technologies are often limited to a single or limited set of parameters (such as voltage and current), lacking comprehensive collection and integration of key SOFC operating parameters (such as oxygen partial pressure and ambient humidity), resulting in incomplete information. For example, the Chinese patent document with publication number CN112373352B focuses solely on basic electrical parameters and fails to address the multidimensional impacts of high-temperature SOFC environments.

[0031] Second, feature extraction is inadequate. Existing technologies often rely on static features (such as mean and variance), which struggle to capture the dynamic time-frequency characteristics of SOFC aging, limiting prediction accuracy. While existing technologies have proposed multi-scale analysis, these techniques are not optimized for SOFC material and operating characteristics.

[0032] Third, the model's adaptability is insufficient. Existing AI models are mostly statically trained, lacking online self-correction capabilities and unable to adapt to the nonlinear degradation of SOFCs throughout their lifecycle. For example, Chinese patent application CN113594510B, while incorporated into a cloud platform, fails to implement real-time adaptive adjustments.

[0033] Fourth, there's a lack of closed-loop optimization. Existing technologies largely remain at the monitoring and diagnosis level, failing to form a closed-loop system from prediction to operational optimization. For example, while Chinese patent application CN112373352B improves prediction capabilities, it doesn't feed the results back into system control, resulting in limited lifespan extension.

[0034] To address these challenges, the present invention proposes an artificial intelligence-based SOFC state monitoring and health diagnosis method and system, which has significant technical significance and application value. Through multi-source data acquisition and fusion, dynamic feature extraction, self-correcting AI diagnosis, and closed-loop feedback optimization, the present invention achieves high-precision real-time monitoring and durability prediction of SOFCs under complex conditions. Compared to existing related technologies, the present invention fully utilizes the powerful data processing capabilities of AI and, combined with the high-temperature operating characteristics of SOFCs, significantly improves the robustness of monitoring and the accuracy of predictions. Its technical advantages include: 1. Comprehensiveness: It integrates multi-dimensional parameters such as temperature and oxygen partial pressure to make up for the shortcomings of single parameter monitoring.

[0035] 2. Dynamics: Accurately capture the degradation process through time-frequency analysis and adaptive feature screening.

[0036] 3. Adaptability: AI models learn online and adapt to changes throughout the lifecycle.

[0037] 4. Practicality: Closed-loop feedback optimizes operating strategies and extends SOFC life.

[0038] Therefore, the present invention not only fills the technological gap in the field of SOFC health diagnosis, but also provides an innovative solution for the intelligent management of energy storage and efficient power generation, and has significant scientific value and industrial application prospects.

[0039] The technical solution of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a method for SOFC state monitoring and health diagnosis based on artificial intelligence is provided, comprising the following steps: Step S1: real-time collection of SOFC operating parameters, including temperature, voltage, current, internal resistance, oxygen partial pressure, and ambient humidity; Step S2: Using an algorithm based on extended Kalman filtering and information entropy to optimize data, the collected operating parameters are weighted to optimize data consistency and noise resistance; Step S3: Based on the improved hybrid neural network model and reinforcement learning algorithm, the battery status is monitored in real time, the expected endurance cycle is predicted, and anomalies are identified. The model parameters are dynamically adjusted through sliding window online learning and self-correction mechanisms. Step S4: combining the monitoring results, health prediction and abnormal warning signals to generate feedback control signals and dynamically adjust the operating parameters of the SOFC to extend the battery life.

[0041] Through the above technical solution, the present invention significantly improves the state monitoring accuracy, health prediction capability, and service life of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) under complex operating conditions by integrating multi-source data acquisition and fusion, dynamic feature extraction, adaptive AI diagnosis, and closed-loop feedback optimization technology. The present invention can achieve the following technical effects: First, high-precision condition monitoring. This method combines multi-source data fusion (such as temperature, voltage, current, internal resistance, oxygen partial pressure, and ambient humidity) with an extended Kalman filter (EKF) and information entropy weighting algorithm to achieve data consistency exceeding 98% and reduce monitoring error to less than 2%. Compared to traditional single-parameter monitoring methods (e.g., voltage-based monitoring with an error of approximately 5-10%), this significantly improves SOFC monitoring accuracy at high temperatures (600-1000°C) and during dynamic degradation.

[0042] Second, accurate health prediction. This method utilizes a CNN-LSTM hybrid neural network and a reinforcement learning algorithm to predict the expected endurance cycle (EEC) of SOFCs in real time, with an accuracy of up to 95% and an error within ±10 cycles. Through a sliding window online learning mechanism, the model adaptively adjusts parameters to ensure accurate capture of nonlinear aging processes throughout the entire lifecycle, improving long-term stability by 20%.

[0043] Third, it extends battery life. The method of this invention uses closed-loop feedback optimization to dynamically adjust operating parameters based on diagnostic results (such as reducing the charging rate to 70% and controlling the temperature at 600-700°C), effectively slowing the rate of capacity decay. Tests showed that after 1,000 cycles, the capacity decay rate of the feedback-optimized group was reduced to 5% (compared to 8% for the group without feedback), extending battery life by 15-20% (approximately 150-200 additional cycles) and improving operating efficiency by 10%.

[0044] Fourth, strong robustness and real-time performance. The dynamic feature extraction technology of this invention extracts multi-scale features (e.g., voltage harmonic components and internal resistance transient response) through time-frequency analysis and wavelet transform. This improves feature expression by 30%, reduces computational complexity by 70%, and shortens computation time from approximately 500ms to less than 150ms. This ensures the system's real-time monitoring capabilities even with high cycle counts (>1000) and complex environments, and its feature stability is 20% better than traditional static methods.

[0045] Fifth, intelligent management support. This invention provides visual output (internal resistance growth rate graph, temperature impact factor graph, abnormality alarm) and feedback control signals, providing technical support for the intelligent management of SOFC in energy storage and efficient power generation, significantly improving the economic benefits and practicality of the system.

[0046] In summary, the present invention achieves high-precision, high-efficiency, and intelligent SOFC state monitoring and health diagnosis through technological integration. It not only overcomes the limitations of traditional methods under complex conditions, but also provides an innovative solution for the long-term stable operation and life optimization of SOFC, with significant application value.

[0047] The present invention is described below with reference to an exemplary embodiment.

[0048] 1. Hardware configuration.

[0049] 1) Temperature sensor: K-type thermocouple (0-1300℃, ±0.2℃), sampling rate 5Hz.

[0050] 2) Voltage sensor: differential amplifier (0-6V, ±0.005V) with anti-interference filter.

[0051] 3) Current sensor: Hall effect sensor (0-150A, ±0.05A), supporting high frequency response.

[0052] 4) Oxygen partial pressure sensor: Zirconia sensor (0-1atm, ±0.01atm).

[0053] 5) Data acquisition system: 32-bit ARM processor, 16-bit ADC, storage capacity 1TB.

[0054] 2. Data fusion and preprocessing.

[0055] 1) Adopt a fusion algorithm based on extended Kalman filter (EKF) and information entropy weighting to reduce sensor noise and redundancy and improve data consistency.

[0056] 2) Mathematical principles: Where, is the predicted state, F is the state transfer matrix, is the updated state at time k-1, is the prediction covariance, is the updated covariance at time k-1, is the transposed matrix of F, Q is the process noise covariance, is the Kalman gain, H is the observation matrix, is the transposed matrix of H, R is the measurement noise covariance, To update the status, is the observed value, is the updated covariance, I is the identity matrix; Among them, E is information entropy, is the normalized value of the i-th sensor data, is the weight of the i-th sensor data, is the information entropy corresponding to the i-th sensor data, is the information entropy corresponding to the j-th sensor data; 3) Fusion value calculation: Where, is the fusion value obtained by fusing multiple sensor data, is the data of the i-th sensor.

[0057] In this process, the state of multi-source data (such as temperature, oxygen partial pressure, etc.) is first estimated through extended Kalman filtering to filter out high-frequency noise; then the entropy value of each sensor data is calculated and weights are assigned; finally, the weighted average is used to obtain the fusion result.

[0058] 3. Feature extraction and time-frequency analysis.

[0059] 1) Use discrete wavelet transform (DWT) to perform time-frequency analysis on voltage and internal resistance signals, extract transient characteristics, and calculate the capacity decay rate using statistical methods.

[0060] 2) Mathematical principles: Mathematical formula: Discrete Wavelet Transform: Where, is the wavelet coefficient of the jth scale and the kth time shift, is the input signal, For the wavelet basis function, "db6" can be selected.

[0061] Signal decomposition: Where, is the approximate coefficient of the jth layer, is the detail coefficient of the jth layer, is the scaling function, is the wavelet function; For example, taking the 6-layer decomposition as an example, the voltage signal is decomposed into a low-frequency approximate component and a high-frequency detail component. The amplitude of the high-frequency component is extracted as a transient feature to reflect the change in the internal resistance of the battery; the low-frequency component is used to calculate the capacity decay rate.

[0062] 4. AI model training and optimization.

[0063] 1) Model structure: CNN (4-layer convolution, 3×3 kernel) + LSTM (3 layers, 128 units), input 5-dimensional features, output PDI and EEC.

[0064] 2) Training parameters: 800 sets of data (1500 cycles), batch size 32, learning rate 0.002.

[0065] 3) Online learning: Update the model every 50 cycles, with a sliding window of 50 and a learning rate decay of 0.95.

[0066] 5. Optimize the display of results and feedback. (e.g. Figure 2 shown) 1) Output: internal resistance growth rate graph, temperature influence factor graph, abnormal alarm.

[0067] 2) Feedback: When PDI < 60%, the charging current is reduced to 70% and the temperature is controlled at 600-700℃.

[0068] In this exemplary embodiment, the advantages of the present invention include: First, high-precision multi-source data fusion. The present invention realizes the efficient fusion of multi-dimensional parameters such as temperature, voltage, current, internal resistance, and oxygen partial pressure by extending the Kalman filter and information entropy weighting algorithm, ensuring the stability of data quality in complex high-temperature environments. The fusion process dynamically adjusts the weight of each parameter to effectively filter out noise interference. For example, under the conditions of temperature fluctuation of ±50°C and oxygen partial pressure change of ±0.05atm, the data consistency remains above 98%. Exemplarily, the monitoring error of the present invention can be reduced to less than 2%, which significantly improves the reliability of the data compared to traditional single parameter monitoring (for example, the error based on voltage alone is about 5-10%), providing a solid foundation for subsequent feature extraction and AI diagnosis.

[0069] Second, the efficiency and real-time performance of dynamic feature extraction. The present invention uses time-frequency analysis and wavelet transform technology to extract multi-scale features, such as voltage harmonic components and internal resistance transient response, and dynamically screens key features through random forest and mutual information methods to eliminate redundant information. The feature dimension is reduced from the initial 15 dimensions to 5 dimensions, and the calculation time is shortened from about 500ms of the traditional method to less than 150ms, ensuring real-time monitoring capabilities. Exemplarily, the feature expression capability of the present invention can be improved by 30%, the computational complexity can be reduced by about 70%, and the feature stability at a high number of cycles (>1000 times) is about 20% better than the static method, which significantly improves the system's ability to capture the aging process.

[0070] Third, the adaptive AI prediction system offers high accuracy and stability. This system combines a CNN-LSTM hybrid neural network with reinforcement learning to analyze battery status in real time and predict the expected endurance cycle (EEC). Through online learning and model self-calibration every 50 cycles, it adapts to the nonlinear changes in the battery from initial operation to deep aging. For example, at a temperature of 650°C and 1500 cycles, the EEC prediction error is controlled within ±10 cycles. As an example, the prediction accuracy reaches 95%, and the long-term stability is improved by 20%, making it more capable of addressing the dynamic degradation of SOFCs throughout their life cycle than traditional static AI models.

[0071] Fourth, closed-loop feedback optimization offers intelligent features and extended battery life. This invention generates feedback signals based on diagnostic results, dynamically adjusting the charging rate (for example, reducing it to 70% of rated current when the PDI is <60%) and temperature control (maintaining 600-700°C), forming a closed-loop optimization system. Tests have shown that after 1,000 cycles, the battery capacity decay rate in the feedback-optimized group was reduced to 5%, compared to 8% in the group without feedback. For example, battery life can be extended by 15-20% (approximately 150-200 additional cycles), and operating efficiency can be improved by 10% (with improved power output stability). Compared to monitoring systems without feedback (such as traditional threshold control), this significantly improves economic benefits and battery life.

[0072] In the above-mentioned embodiments, it should be noted that, in the present invention, the extended Kalman filter estimates the nonlinear system state, filters out sensor noise, and ensures dynamic data consistency. Entropy weighting calculates weights based on the entropy of each parameter, dynamically adjusting the contribution of different data points and enhancing noise immunity. Compared to traditional single Kalman filtering or mean fusion, this method, combining the EKF and entropy, can maintain a fusion accuracy exceeding 98% under complex conditions such as high SOFC temperatures and fluctuating oxygen partial pressures.

[0073] In one embodiment of the present invention, step S4 of the present invention may further include: outputting the monitoring results, health predictions and abnormal warning signals in a visual form.

[0074] In one embodiment of the present invention, in step S1 of the present invention, operating parameters are collected in real time through a sensor network.

[0075] In one embodiment of the present invention, step S2 of the present invention may specifically include: Step S2-1: Process the collected operating parameters according to the following formula: Where, is the predicted state, F is the state transfer matrix, is the updated state at time k-1, is the prediction covariance, is the updated covariance at time k-1, is the transposed matrix of F, Q is the process noise covariance, is the Kalman gain, H is the observation matrix, is the transposed matrix of H, R is the measurement noise covariance, To update the status, is the observed value, is the updated covariance, I is the identity matrix; Step S2-2: Calculate the information entropy and weight of the collected operating parameters according to the following formula: Where E is information entropy, is the normalized value of the i-th sensor data, is the weight of the i-th sensor data, is the information entropy corresponding to the i-th sensor data, is the information entropy corresponding to the j-th sensor data; Step S2-3: Calculate the fusion value according to the following formula: Where, is the fusion value obtained by fusing multiple sensor data, is the data of the i-th sensor.

[0076] In one embodiment of the present invention, step S3 of the present invention may specifically include: Step S3-1: Use discrete wavelet transform to perform time-frequency analysis on the voltage and internal resistance signals, extract transient features, and calculate the capacity decay rate using statistical methods. The calculation formula of discrete wavelet transform is: Where, is the wavelet coefficient of the jth scale and the kth time shift, is the input signal, is the wavelet basis function, is the approximate coefficient of the jth layer, is the detail coefficient of the jth layer, is the scaling function, is the wavelet function; Step S3-2: Based on a hybrid neural network model and reinforcement learning algorithm, the battery status is monitored in real time, the expected endurance cycle is predicted, and anomalies are identified. The hybrid neural network model is a CNN with 4 convolution layers and 3×3 kernels and a LSTM with 3 layers and 128 units.
