[0031] Embodiment two: an energy management control method of a fuel cell electric aircraft according to an example embodiment, the method comprising the following steps: After the energy management controller is triggered by the start signal of the electric aircraft, the complete energy management process is started, and the specific steps are as follows: Firstly, in response to the start signal, the initial acquisition of the lithium battery power state, the solar panel power state, the fuel cell power state, the lithium battery power state at least includes: the remaining power and the discharge depth, etc., the solar panel power state at least includes: the current power generation and the output capacity affected by the light intensity, etc., the fuel cell power state at least includes: the current output power and the working temperature, etc., and at the same time, the user input task demand is obtained through the touch display module, the user input task demand at least includes: the flight height, the endurance time and the load intensity, etc. Key task parameters.
[0032] Based on the above initial acquisition of multi-energy state data and task demand, the controller performs multi-dimensional analysis to determine the initial working mode: if the lithium battery remaining power is sufficient and the task load is low, select the lithium battery mode, if the solar illumination condition is excellent and the task energy consumption is stable, select the solar mode, if the task energy consumption is high or the endurance requirement is long, then start the hybrid power mode, and coordinate the movement of multiple energies; If other energy states are insufficient, switch to the fuel cell mode as the main power supply.
[0033] Subsequently, more detailed running data is obtained in real time through various sensors: the first voltage and the first current output by the fuel cell through the first sensor to reflect the original output characteristics of the fuel cell, the second voltage and the second current output by the first DC / DC converter to reflect the effective output of the fuel cell after optimization, the real-time flow of hydrogen entering the fuel cell through the flow sensor, the third voltage and the third current output by the lithium battery through the third sensor to reflect the actual power supply state of the lithium battery, the fourth voltage and the fourth current output by the solar panel through the fourth sensor to reflect the original power generation capacity of the solar panel, and the fifth voltage and the fifth current output by the second DC / DC converter through the fifth sensor to reflect the effective output of the solar after optimization.
[0034] Based on these real-time collected voltage and current data, the controller performs dynamic calibration and update of the power state: for example, combined with the third voltage and the third current of the lithium battery, the remaining power and other power states of the lithium battery are corrected through the power calculation model. According to the fourth voltage, the fourth current, the fifth voltage and the fifth current of the solar panel, the power generation efficiency and the actual power supply capacity after conversion of the solar panel are comprehensively evaluated, and the power state of the solar panel is updated. Through the first voltage, the first current, the second voltage and the second current of the fuel cell, the power generation efficiency and conversion loss of the fuel cell are analyzed, and the power state of the fuel cell is dynamically updated.
[0035] Meanwhile, based on the real-time hydrogen flow detected by the flow sensor, the hydrogen consumption per unit time and the cumulative hydrogen consumption are calculated in combination with the time parameter. Based on the second voltage and the second current, the actual power output by the fuel cell after optimization by the first DC / DC converter, i.e., the effective power supply, is calculated by voltage, current and time. Finally, the controller determines the hydrogen leakage state by comparing the theoretical corresponding relationship between the hydrogen consumption and the fuel cell output power, i.e., the theoretical power generated by a unit of hydrogen, that is, the theoretical power generated by a unit of hydrogen. If the difference between the actual consumption and the theoretical consumption is within the normal error range, it is determined that there is no leakage; If the difference exceeds the normal range but does not reach the critical value, it is determined that there is a slight leakage; If the difference significantly exceeds the critical value, it is determined that there is a severe leakage, so that the system can trigger an alarm or a protection signal in time.
[0036] By applying the technical solution of the embodiment, the initial working mode suitable for the task can be determined based on multi-dimensional data by initially and accurately collecting the power states of the lithium battery, the solar panel and the fuel cell, and the task requirements input by the user, such as flight altitude, endurance time and load strength, so as to avoid energy mismatch and waste. Subsequently, the voltage and current of the fuel cell and the DC / DC converter, the hydrogen flow, the output parameters of the lithium battery and the solar panel are obtained in real time by the sensors, so that the power states of the energy sources can be dynamically calibrated and updated, the judgment of the energy supply capacity is accurate, and reliable basis is provided for mode adjustment. At the same time, the consumption is calculated based on the hydrogen flow, the effective output power of the fuel cell is calculated based on the voltage and current, and the hydrogen leakage state is determined by comparing the theoretical corresponding relationship between the two, so that the alarm and protection can be triggered in time, the safety of the aircraft operation is ensured, the fine control of energy utilization is realized, the energy utilization efficiency is improved, the endurance is prolonged, and the stable energy supply demand in different task scenarios is adapted.
