Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of hydrogen fuel cell performance testing, and in particular to a hydrogen fuel cell testing platform. Background Art
[0002] A hydrogen fuel cell vehicle is a vehicle that uses hydrogen as its primary energy source. While conventional internal combustion engines are typically fueled by diesel or gasoline, hydrogen vehicles use gaseous hydrogen instead. Fuel cells and electric motors will replace conventional engines. The principle of a hydrogen fuel cell is to feed hydrogen into the fuel cell. The electrons in the hydrogen atoms are blocked by a proton exchange membrane and then conducted from the negative electrode to the positive electrode through an external circuit, generating electricity to drive the electric motor. The protons, however, can then pass through the proton exchange membrane and combine with oxygen to form a pure water mist, which is then discharged. This is a clean and hygienic process, as hydrogen combustion produces water, which does not pollute the environment. Furthermore, hydrogen has a higher calorific value than gasoline when burned.
[0003] As an efficient and clean energy conversion device, the performance evaluation of hydrogen fuel cells relies on a comprehensive testing system. In existing technologies, testing platforms have the following shortcomings: 1. The testing dimension is single, focusing mostly on basic output performance and lacking integrated testing capabilities for durability, dynamic response, and environmental adaptability; 2. Poor coordination between test systems. The synchronization accuracy of gas supply, temperature control, and load regulation is insufficient (±5%), resulting in test data deviation. 3. The safety mechanism is imperfect, with a hydrogen leak detection response time greater than 10 seconds and a lack of active protection strategies under extreme operating conditions; 4. The evaluation system is fragmented, making it impossible to achieve quantitative correlation analysis of "output capacity-efficiency-lifespan-safety".
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to build a hydrogen fuel cell testing platform with multi-system collaboration, full-dimensional coverage, and high security to meet the precise evaluation needs during the fuel cell research and development process.

Example
[0023] A hydrogen fuel cell test platform adopts a modular design and includes a gas supply system, a temperature control system, a load system, a data acquisition system, a safety system and a central controller. The gas supply system, temperature control system, load system, data acquisition system and safety system are connected to the central controller via industrial Ethernet to achieve collaborative control and data interaction. Specifically, the gas supply system is used to provide stable and controllable reaction gases (hydrogen and oxidant) to the fuel cell and can simulate gas purity fluctuations. It includes a hydrogen path, an oxidant path, and an impurity injection unit. The hydrogen circuit consists of a hydrogen source (high-pressure hydrogen cylinder), a pressure reducing valve (regulation range 0.1-1 MPa), a mass flow meter (model MF-800, measurement range 0-200 L / min, accuracy ±0.2% FS), a pressure regulating valve (response time ≤ 50 ms), a humidity generator (using a bubbling method, control range 30-90% RH, accuracy ±3% RH), and a gas preheater (500 W power, temperature range 50-100°C). The hydrogen circuit utilizes a PID control algorithm to achieve precise control of flow rate, pressure, and humidity, with accuracy of ±0.5% FS, ±0.01 MPa, and ±2% RH, respectively. The oxidizer circuit includes an air compressor, an oxygen concentration regulator (which adjusts the O2 concentration from 21% to 100% by mixing air and pure oxygen, with an adjustment accuracy of ±1%), a humidity control module (same structure as the humidity generator in the hydrogen circuit), and a precision filter (filtration accuracy of 0.1μm). The oxidizer circuit can switch between air and pure oxygen mode according to test requirements to meet the oxidizer supply requirements of different fuel cells. The impurity injection unit, consisting of an impurity gas cylinder (containing impurity gases such as CO, H2S, and NH3), a microinjection pump, and a mixer, can inject 0-50 ppm of impurity gas into the hydrogen or oxidant lines, simulating the fluctuating gas purity conditions experienced in real-world applications. The impurity injection rate is closed-loop controlled by a central controller, with an adjustment response time of ≤1s. The temperature control system is used to regulate the operating temperature and ambient temperature of the fuel cell to meet the testing requirements of different types of fuel cells, including a battery stack constant temperature device and an environmental simulation chamber; The stack thermostat uses a circulating water thermal management system for PEMFCs, including a constant-temperature water tank (50L capacity), a circulating pump (flow rate 0-10L / min), a heater (2kW power), and a cooler (1.5kW cooling capacity). The temperature control range is 50-90°C with an accuracy of ±0.5°C. For SOFCs, a 5kW electric heating jacket is used, with a temperature control range of 400-800°C and an accuracy of ±2°C. The thermostat monitors the stack temperature in real time using a platinum resistance sensor (accuracy ±0.1°C) and employs a fuzzy PID algorithm for rapid and stable temperature control. The environmental simulation chamber is a rectangular structure (internal dimensions: 1m × 1m × 1.2m). It uses a combination of compressor cooling and electric heating for temperature control, with a control range of -40-80°C, a temperature fluctuation of ≤±1°C, and an adjustable temperature change rate of 0.5-10°C / min. The chamber is equipped with a wind speed sensor (0-10m / s) and a humidity sensor (10-90%RH) to simulate various environmental and climatic conditions, meeting the environmental adaptability testing requirements of fuel cells. The load system is used to simulate the actual working load of the fuel cell and realize performance testing under different load modes, including an electronic load and a load simulation module; Electronic load: Model EL-100kW, supports constant current (0-200A), constant voltage (0-500V), constant power (0-100kW), and constant resistance modes, with a response speed of ≤5ms and a load regulation accuracy of ±0.1%FS. This electronic load utilizes a bidirectional energy flow design, feeding the fuel cell's output back into the grid (efficiency ≥90%), reducing energy consumption during testing. Load simulation module: Based on the FPGA chip, it realizes the programming and output of complex load curves. It can simulate typical operating conditions such as the NEDC operating conditions of automotive fuel cells and the stepped load of stationary power generation. The time resolution of the load curve is ≤10ms, ensuring the authenticity of dynamic response testing. The data acquisition system is used to collect various parameters during the test in real time and provide data support for performance evaluation. It includes a sensor array and a data recorder. Sensor array: Includes voltage sensors (measurement range 0-500V, accuracy ±0.1%), current sensors (0-200A, accuracy ±0.2%), temperature sensors (-50-1000°C, accuracy ±0.2°C), pressure sensors (0-1MPa, accuracy ±0.1%FS), flow sensors (0-500L / min, accuracy ±0.2%FS), and humidity sensors (0-100%RH, accuracy ±2%RH). The sensors are distributed, with a sampling rate of ≥1kHz at key measurement points (such as the battery stack inlet and outlet) to ensure accurate capture of dynamic processes. Data logger: Utilizing an industrial-grade data acquisition card (16-bit AD resolution, 100kHz sampling rate), equipped with 8GB of memory and a 1TB solid-state drive, it supports 1000 channels of simultaneous data acquisition. The data logger communicates with the central controller via Ethernet, with a data transmission rate of ≥100Mbps, enabling real-time storage, display, and backup of test data. The safety system is used to ensure the safety of the test process, including hydrogen leak monitoring, extreme working condition protection and emergency response unit; Hydrogen leak monitoring: A laser spectrometer (model HLD-200) is used with a detection range of 0-4% LEL (lower explosive limit), a response time of ≤1s, and a spatial resolution of 1m (covering the test area through three monitoring points). Monitoring data is transmitted to a central controller in real time. When the hydrogen concentration exceeds 1% LEL, an audible and visual alarm is triggered. When it exceeds 2% LEL, emergency response procedures are initiated. Extreme operating condition protection: The sensor array monitors the temperature, pressure, voltage and other parameters of the battery stack in real time. When extreme operating conditions such as overtemperature (PEMFC exceeds 100°C), overpressure (hydrogen pressure exceeds 0.6MPa), and overcurrent (exceeds 150% of the rated current) occur, the central controller issues a protection command within 0.5s to cut off the gas supply and load connection. Emergency Response Unit: Includes explosion-proof ventilation (air change rate ≥ 30 times / h), a HFC-227ea fire extinguishing system (response time ≤ 5s), and an emergency stop button. This unit integrates with hydrogen leak monitoring and extreme operating condition protection to form a multi-level safety protection system. The central controller is the core control unit of the test platform. It uses an industrial computer (configured with an Intel Core i7 processor and 16GB of memory) and runs control software developed based on LabVIEW to achieve the following functions: System collaborative control: Communicates with each subsystem through the OPCUA protocol to achieve synchronous adjustment of gas flow, temperature, and load, with a control cycle of ≤10ms, ensuring the coordination of multi-parameter control; Test process automation: Built-in test method library (including standardized processes such as polarization curve testing and durability testing), supports user-defined test steps S, and realizes one-click start and automatic operation of the test process; Data processing and analysis: It has functions such as real-time data plotting, historical data query, performance parameter calculation (such as efficiency, attenuation rate), and supports automatic generation of test reports; Remote monitoring: Supports Ethernet remote login, enabling remote monitoring and operation of the test process, improving the convenience of testing. The testing method of the test platform of the hydrogen fuel cell comprises the following steps: Step S1: Preparation before testing According to the test object type, check the physical parameters of the fuel cell (such as the number of cells, active area, and rated voltage) to ensure that they match the interface of the test platform (such as the gas inlet and outlet pipe diameters, and electrical connection terminals); perform an airtightness test on the test platform, close all gas outlets, and introduce 0.3MPa nitrogen into the hydrogen and oxidant lines for 30 minutes. A pressure drop of ≤0.01MPa is considered qualified; calibrate the sensor array and use a standard signal source to calibrate the voltage, current and other sensors to ensure that the measurement error is within the allowable range; initialize the central controller, load the parameter template of the test object, and set the safety threshold. Step S2: Basic output performance test Basic output performance tests are used to evaluate the power generation capability of fuel cells, including polarization curve tests and power density tests: Step S201: Polarization curve test: Step S2011: Install the fuel cell on the cell stack thermostat, connect the gas pipeline and electrical circuit, close the environmental simulation cabin door and set the temperature to 60°C (PEMFC); Step S2012: Start the gas supply system, set the hydrogen flow rate to 1.2 times the stoichiometric ratio (calculated based on the rated current), the pressure to 0.2 MPa, and the humidity to 70% RH; the oxidant is air, with a flow rate of 2.0 times the stoichiometric ratio, the pressure to 0.15 MPa, and the humidity to 60% RH; Step S2013: After the battery stack temperature stabilizes (fluctuation ≤ ±0.5°C), start the electronic load and use the constant current mode, starting from 0A and increasing in steps of 10A to the limit current (at which point the voltage drops below 0.4V). Pause for 30 seconds at each step and record the corresponding current and voltage values. Step S2014: After the test is completed, a polarization curve (voltage-current density curve) is plotted, and the open circuit voltage (OCV), activation polarization loss (voltage drop in the low current region), ohmic polarization loss (slope in the medium current region), and concentration polarization loss (voltage drop in the high current region) are calculated. Step S202: Power density test: Step S2021: Calculate the power density at different current densities based on the polarization curve test data (power density = voltage × current density); Step S2022: draw a power density-current density curve to determine the peak power density and the corresponding current density; Step S2023: Keep running at the rated current density (e.g., 0.8 A / cm²) for 30 minutes and record the voltage fluctuation value.

Step S4: Durability test Durability testing is used to evaluate the long-term operational stability of fuel cells, including long-term operation tests and start-stop cycle tests: Step S401: Long-term running test: Step S4011: Run continuously for 1000 hours at rated power, and record the polarization curve every 24 hours; Step S4012, calculate the voltage decay rate: decay rate = (initial voltage - current voltage) / initial voltage × 100%, and draw a decay curve; Step S4013: If the voltage suddenly drops by more than 10% during operation, stop the machine and check the fuel cell status. Step S402: Start-stop cycle test: Step S4021, set the cycle process: start (5 minutes) → rated power operation (30 minutes) → stop (5 minutes), repeat 1000 cycles; Step S4022: Record the initial voltage 5 minutes after each cycle is started and calculate the voltage attenuation after the cycle; Step S4023: After the cycle is completed, the microstructure of the fuel cell electrode is detected. Step S5: Dynamic response test The dynamic response test is used to evaluate the fuel cell's ability to adapt to sudden load changes. It includes the following steps: Step S501, setting the initial operating condition: the fuel cell operates stably at 20% of the rated power for 30 minutes; Step S502 , performing a load step: using the load simulation module to increase the load from 20% to 80% of the rated power, and recording a curve of voltage change over time (sampling rate 1 kHz); Step S503 , analyzing response indicators: calculating voltage recovery time (time from fluctuation peak value to stable value ±2%) and overshoot (difference between fluctuation peak value and stable value); Step S504: Reverse step test: the rated power is suddenly reduced from 80% to 20%, and steps S502-S503 are repeated. Step S6: Environmental adaptability test Environmental adaptability testing is used to evaluate the performance of fuel cells under extreme environmental conditions, including temperature adaptability and impurity tolerance testing: Step S601: Temperature adaptability test: Step S6011, low temperature start test: specifically, the temperature of the environmental simulation chamber is lowered to -20°C, the fuel cell is left to stand for 2 hours in this environment, and then started, and the time from start to output 50% of the rated power is recorded; Step S6012, high temperature operation test: set three temperature points of 40°C, 60°C, and 80°C in the environmental simulation chamber, test the polarization curve at each temperature, and calculate the attenuation rate of the peak power relative to that at 60°C. Step S602: Impurity tolerance test: Step S6021: inject impurity gas (10 ppm CO + 1 ppm H2S) into the hydrogen path and operate at rated power for 100 hours; Step S6022: Test the polarization curve every 20 hours and calculate the performance attenuation rate (required to be ≤8%). Step S6023: After the test is completed, the poisoning degree of the catalyst is analyzed. Step S7: Security Test Safety testing is used to verify the safety performance of fuel cells and test platforms, including leakage testing and limit protection testing: Step S701: Leakage test: Step S7011: Under rated operating conditions, use a hydrogen leak detector to scan key locations such as fuel cell interfaces and pipe joints, and record the leakage rate (required to be ≤0.1 mL / min); Step S7012: After turning off the gas supply, maintain the pipeline pressure at 0.3 MPa. After 30 minutes, detect the pressure drop (required to be ≤0.01 MPa). Step S702: Extreme protection test: Step S7021, over-temperature protection test: gradually increase the battery stack temperature to the protection threshold (100°C) to verify whether the safety system triggers a shutdown within 5 seconds; Step S7022, overpressure protection test: slowly increase the hydrogen pressure to 0.6 MPa, and check whether the gas shut-off valve closes automatically (response time requirement ≤ 0.5 s). Step S8: Comprehensive evaluation Step S801, data integration: importing the raw data of each test step into the analysis module of the central controller to generate a standardized data set; Step S802, indicator quantification: calculate key performance indicators (such as peak power density, efficiency, attenuation rate, response time, etc.) and compare with industry standards (such as ISO14687-2:2012, GB / T35544-2017); Step S803, comprehensive scoring: Use the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to perform weighted scoring on each indicator (output capacity 30%, efficiency 25%, durability 20%, safety 15%, dynamic response 10%) to generate a comprehensive performance report; Step S804, optimization suggestions: Based on the scoring results, identify performance shortcomings (such as insufficient efficiency and poor durability) and propose targeted optimization directions (such as improving catalysts and optimizing operating temperatures). The present invention covers six categories of tests, namely basic output performance, efficiency, durability, dynamic response, environmental adaptability and safety, with a total of 12 specific test items, which realizes a comprehensive evaluation of the performance of hydrogen fuel cells throughout their life cycle, overcomes the defect of the single test dimension of the existing technology, and realizes the comprehensiveness of the test dimension.
[0024] A central controller is used to coordinate the control of each subsystem, with a control cycle of ≤10ms and a synchronous adjustment accuracy of gas flow, temperature, and load of ≤±1%. This solves the parameter lag problem caused by independent control of each system in the existing platform and realizes high-precision coordination of the system. A multi-tiered safety system encompassing monitoring, alarm, protection, and emergency response has been established, with a hydrogen leak detection response time of ≤1s and an extreme operating condition protection delay of ≤0.5s, significantly enhancing the safety of the testing process. Compared to existing technologies, this safety system boasts a wider coverage area (three monitoring points) and a faster response speed (over 10 times faster), effectively preventing safety incidents caused by hydrogen leaks and extreme operating conditions, and enhancing safety protection levels. A comprehensive evaluation model based on the hierarchical analysis method was established, which converted qualitative descriptions into quantitative indicators (such as comprehensive scores and weights of various performance items), realized the correlation analysis of "output capacity-efficiency-lifespan-safety", and achieved the quantification of the evaluation system. Through modular design and an expanded parameter adjustment range (e.g., temperature control covering -40-800°C), compatible testing of different fuel cell types, such as PEMFC and SOFC, is achieved, reducing the procurement and maintenance costs of testing equipment. While existing technologies require dedicated testing platforms for different fuel cell types, the universal design of this invention can reduce equipment investment by over 50%, achieving universal platform application. The central controller includes a built-in library of standardized test methods, supporting automated test processes and data processing, improving test efficiency by over 30%. For example, polarization curve testing can be initiated with a single click, eliminating the need for manual intervention, and test reports are automatically generated, reducing human error and automating the test process. In summary, the hydrogen fuel cell testing platform and testing method of the present invention provide a comprehensive and reliable testing solution for the research and development and application of hydrogen fuel cells through multi-dimensional testing, high-precision collaborative control, hierarchical safety protection and quantitative evaluation, and have important engineering application value and market prospects.
