Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of fuel cells, and particularly relates to a multi-stack fuel cell system power distribution method based on stack degradation consistency. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous development of the aviation industry, the proportion of aviation industry in total carbon emissions is also increasing, and by 2050, the aviation industry's carbon dioxide emissions will account for more than 25% of global emissions. Developing new energy green aviation is an inevitable choice to achieve efficient and sustainable development of the aviation industry. Fuel cell systems have been widely concerned due to their clean and pollution-free characteristics, high power density, and have become one of the potential development directions of aviation electric propulsion systems. The fuel cell system applied to small-power aircraft such as unmanned aerial vehicles mainly consists of fuel cell stacks, auxiliary energy storage elements and matching converters. However, the low fault tolerance, durability and operating efficiency of single-stack fuel cell systems restrict their application in high-power electric propulsion systems. Compared with single-stack systems, multi-stack fuel cell systems have higher flexibility, providing greater output power and superior system performance, as well as a wider efficient working area and more flexible power distribution method.

[0003] Traditional multi-stack fuel cell system power distribution strategies include chain distribution strategy and average distribution strategy. The core of chain distribution strategy is to minimize the number of working stacks and distribute power in order according to the required power level. When the current stack reaches the maximum output power, the next stack is started until the load demand power is reached or all stacks are started. The average distribution strategy is to distribute the demand power equally to each stack when the number of stacks in use is constant. At this time, each stack operates for the same time, and the load power and power fluctuation are also the same.

[0004] The traditional strategy in the prior art is not suitable for complex working conditions, and it is difficult to achieve optimal control of the multi-stack fuel cell system, and the hydrogen consumption of the multi-stack fuel cell system is high. Chain distribution strategy only has the first stack reaching maximum efficiency, and with the increase of the number of started stacks, the system efficiency decreases significantly; the average distribution strategy still starts all stacks in the low power interval and makes each stack run at a lower power, resulting in low system efficiency. The above two strategies are not conducive to reducing hydrogen consumption, resulting in poor system economy; at the same time, the prior art does not consider the multi-objective optimization problem of real-time optimal online number of stacks and stack voltage degradation consistency of the multi-stack fuel cell system; the online working number will affect the subsequent power distribution and hydrogen consumption of the multi-stack fuel cell system, and the inconsistent stack degradation will also affect the service life of the system. Therefore, a multi-stack fuel cell system power distribution method is needed to achieve optimal control according to the target power demand.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the application provides a multi-stack fuel cell system power distribution method based on stack degradation consistency, which can start the optimal number of stacks under the premise of meeting the power demand, make them work near the optimal efficiency point, improve the system economy, delay the voltage degradation, ensure the consistency of the degradation of each stack after a long time of operation, and prolong the service life of the system.

[0126] (13)

[0127] The first-order partial derivative of the function is obtained:

[0128] (14)

[0129] Since the hydrogen consumption function is consistent with the first-order derivative, substitute it into the expression of , which is converted to:

[0130] (15)

[0131] In formula (15), a and b are constants, is the Lagrange multiplier; formula (15) has a solution when and only when , at this time, each stack works near the optimal efficiency point, and the output power is:

[0132] (16)

[0133] As described above, the demand power at time k is borne by the selected stacks, and each stack bears the same power, and the power of each stack is .

From Figure 6It can be seen that the stack works near the best efficiency point, and the rest of the time is in standby state. For example, in the period of 744~779s, the demand power is above 180kW, FC3, FC4 are started first because of the least degradation, until 6 stacks are all online and work near the best efficiency point; then in the period of 780~870s, the fuel cell power continues to decrease until below 70kW, the number of online stacks is reduced, FC5 is put into standby state first because of the most degradation, then FC6, FC1, FC2, finally FC3 and FC4 continue to work. It can be seen that the degradation voltage of 6 stacks basically keeps consistent growth. Figure 7 It can be seen that the degradation voltage of 6 stacks basically keeps consistent growth. The effect of the power distribution method of the application compared with chain distribution and average distribution is shown in Table 1, it can be seen that the hydrogen consumption is reduced by 6.6%, 11.3% respectively, effectively improving the fuel economy of the system; the variance of the voltage degradation of the power distribution method of the application compared with chain distribution is reduced by 97.7%, compared with average distribution, the voltage degradation of the stack is reduced by 43.8%, which shows that the distribution method of the application delays the voltage degradation while keeping the consistency of the degradation, effectively prolonging the service life of the system.
