Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fuel cells, and in particular to a fuel cell membrane water content characterization system and method. Background Art
[0002] Accurate characterization of the membrane's hydration state is a prerequisite for conducting accelerated stress cycling tests to investigate cold-start durability damage. Currently, there are several methods for accurately characterizing the internal hydration state of fuel cells, but they still face the following challenges when responding to variable operating conditions:
[0003] Optical imaging methods are complex and rely on steady-state conditions. Methods capable of accurately characterizing the water content within fuel cells primarily include neutron imaging, X-ray imaging, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and electron microscopy. These methods generally suffer from the following limitations: They rely on complex optical imaging systems, resulting in cumbersome procedures and long testing cycles; they only capture localized static water distribution information under steady-state conditions; and they are highly sensitive to test conditions, limited by the equipment's resolution and penetration depth, making them incapable of detecting water content under variable operating conditions. These optical detection methods are subject to long testing cycles and limited test conditions.
[0004] The impedance test method is susceptible to multivariate nonlinear interference, and the accuracy of water content characterization under variable operating conditions is insufficient: EIS can indirectly reflect the coupling mechanism of water transport and electrochemical reaction in the fuel cell membrane electrode through the frequency domain response characteristics. Existing studies have verified the quantitative relationship between water content and membrane conductivity and diffusion layer mass transfer impedance under controllable steady-state conditions in the laboratory through EIS. However, the nonlinear interaction between actual operating variables (such as the synergistic effect of temperature and humidity on membrane hydration) will cause the characteristic frequency band of the impedance spectrum to shift significantly. The single steady-state laboratory test data relied on by traditional methods is difficult to cover the variable combination space of actual complex operating scenarios, and the equivalent circuit model cannot decouple the coupling effect of multiple variables, resulting in an increase in the error of water content inversion based on empirical formulas.
[0005] In summary, membrane moisture content needs to be characterized through indirect measurement methods. Current characterization methods are ineffective in exploring the low-damage boundary under variable operating conditions. Therefore, an effective membrane moisture content characterization scheme is proposed to accurately map membrane moisture content to variable cold start operating conditions, providing a key technical guarantee for accurate membrane moisture content characterization under variable cold start operating conditions.

[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, the present invention is specifically used for characterizing the water content of fuel cell membranes under cold start variable operating conditions. Taking a certain type of fuel cell as an example, the characterization of membrane water content under variable operating conditions is performed:
[0055] S1: Construction of multi-dimensional impedance characteristic test system;
[0056] Single-factor, full-operation impedance test matrix: Based on an equivalent single-cell model, impedance characterization testing was conducted using the fuel cell membrane moisture characterization system of claim 1. The test conditions encompassed temperature gradients, relative humidity ranges, pressure ranges, gas flow rates, and current load ranges, encompassing the entire cold start range. During the test, a constant temperature and humidity chamber (11) was used to control ambient temperature, a gas temperature range control device (9) was used to adjust purge gas humidity, and hydrogen and air mass flow controllers (8 and 9) were used to precisely control gas flow.
[0057] Quantitative analysis of sensitive ranges: By using the impedance test device 10 to test impedance under various operating conditions, response curves between each factor and impedance are plotted to determine the sensitive range of each factor. Taking the temperature factor as an example, within the -20°C to 80°C range, the impedance decays exponentially with increasing temperature. In the low-temperature range of -10°C to 20°C, the impedance decreases by 15%-20% for every 5°C increase in temperature, indicating a high sensitivity range. In the high-temperature range above 60°C, the impedance change rate drops below 5%, indicating a low sensitivity range.
[0058] Construction of the operating condition-impedance dataset: Based on the single-factor sensitivity intervals and orthogonal test results, we used the Latin hypercube sampling method to select n groups of representative operating conditions. These included cold start at low temperatures, normal temperature operation, and high temperature conditions with varying humidity, intake pressure, intake flow, and current. Each operating condition was tested three times, and the average values were taken to construct a two-dimensional dataset containing the operating condition parameters (temperature, humidity, pressure, flow, and current) and impedance values.
[0059] S2: High-precision water content calibration and mapping relationship establishment;
[0060] Impedance boundary test: The upper boundary test uses high-purity dry hydrogen provided by hydrogen supply device 1 and dry air provided by air supply device 2 for purging. The purge flow and pressure are maintained for 30 minutes at each operating point. After the impedance value stabilizes, the upper boundary value is recorded. The lower boundary test uses a step-by-step current loading method, starting at 10% of the rated current and increasing by 10% each time. When the impedance change rate is less than 0.5% after two consecutive current loadings, the lower boundary value of the impedance is recorded. For example, under operating conditions of -20°C and 50% humidity, the upper boundary of the impedance is 125mΩ after dry gas purging. When the load is increased to 400A, the impedance stabilizes at 82mΩ, thus determining the boundary range.
[0061] Balanced purge test: The gas dew point temperature is adjusted using a gas temperature range control device to achieve humidity conditions corresponding to each temperature. For example, using an 80°C battery temperature as an example, the dew point temperature is controlled at 31.7°C (corresponding to 10% humidity) and 44.7°C (corresponding to 20% humidity). Purge is continued under each humidity condition until the impedance value stabilizes. High-frequency impedance is simultaneously collected using an impedance test device, establishing a multi-dimensional calibration system.
[0062] Data integration: Integrate the balanced purge test data under various operating conditions, smooth the data, and construct a four-dimensional data set containing operating parameters (temperature, humidity, pressure, flow) and water content.
[0063] S3: Gaussian process regression modeling and dynamic prediction;
[0064] Constructing a multidimensional independent variable space: Based on the sensitive intervals determined by S1 and S2, the independent variables of Gaussian process regression (GPR) were set to temperature, humidity, pressure, flow rate, and current (with a precision of 0.1%), forming a five-dimensional input space. A KD tree algorithm was used to partition the input space, ensuring that each leaf node contained at least 20 sets of training data to avoid the curse of dimensionality.
[0065] GPR model optimization framework: A linear combination of the squared exponential kernel (SE) and the Matern kernel (ν=2.5) is used, with weight coefficients determined by maximizing the marginal likelihood function. This combination improves the fit of the temperature-humidity coupling effect by 12%. The expected improvement (EI) acquisition function is used to iteratively optimize the hyperparameter space (length scale, signal variance, noise variance) to reduce the root mean square error (RMSE).
[0066] Prediction verification and iterative correction: Use the fuel cell membrane water content characterization system of claim 1 to verify the prediction results, calculate the error between the test and the prediction results, and when the error of a certain set of data is greater than 5%, automatically add the data to the training set, re-optimize the kernel function and hyperparameters until the accuracy requirements of the engineering application are met, and finally establish a high-precision variable operating condition "impedance-water content" prediction model and a cold start full operating condition "impedance-water content" data set.
[0067] S4: Impedance normalization method driven by SVM-RFE;
[0068] Quantitative evaluation of feature weights: The SVM-C-SVC model is used to perform weight analysis on the five-dimensional features (temperature, humidity, pressure, flow, and current). The Leave-One-Out (LOO) cross-validation score of each feature is calculated to obtain a standardized weight vector.
[0069] Implementation of recursive feature elimination algorithm: The RFE algorithm is used to screen the features of the full-condition impedance dataset. According to the criterion of "minimum feature weight / previous level feature weight < 0.01", the features with little impact on the impedance are recursively and iteratively eliminated until all features with strong correlation and high accuracy to the impedance are completely retained, thus constructing a high-quality full-condition impedance dataset.
[0070] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations that come within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims be embraced therein.

This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment have also been appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that are easy for those skilled in the art to understand.
