Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of fuel cells, and specifically relates to a model predictive control method, storage medium and device for a solid oxide fuel cell stack system. Background Technology
[0002] Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are considered a highly promising alternative to traditional power generation technologies due to their high efficiency, low emissions, and broad fuel adaptability. However, in practical applications, SOFCs require long-term, rapid, and frequent load changes. During operation, the internal flow field, component transport, mass transport, charge transport, electrochemistry, chemical reactions, and heat transport of the fuel cell stack are highly coupled. The thermo-mass-electrochemical multi-physics fields within the stack exhibit significant non-uniformity in both time and space, making the stack prone to harsh conditions such as localized overheating and excessive temperature gradients. This makes it difficult for traditional control strategies to achieve precise control of the fuel cell stack.
[0003] Patent application CN201611156775.3 discloses a method that assumes each individual cell has identical dynamic characteristics, models only the individual cells, and then simply combines them to form a stack model. This method employs one-dimensional node-based modeling, considering only the temperature distribution along the gas flow direction and ignoring the temperature gradient perpendicular to the airflow direction. Patent application CN202411519071.2 discloses a method that uses a distributed parameter method to divide the stack into several nodes along the direction of the reactant gas flow, establishing a one-dimensional dynamic model of a solid oxide fuel cell. Based on this, a Kalman filter-based model predictive controller KF-M is developed. PC establishes a joint simulation platform; the invention patent with application number CN202211570590.2 discloses that according to the direction of the reaction airflow, each system component is divided into a finite number of nodes in a gradual division method. The parameters inside the same node are the same and are equivalent to the node outlet parameters. That is, the characteristic value of the node outlet parameter represents the characteristic value of the parameters of the entire spatial calculation sub-model. The outlet parameter of the previous node is equal to the inlet parameter of the next node. However, since the solid oxide fuel cell model used in the design control strategy is a simple zero-dimensional or one-dimensional model, it only considers the temperature distribution in a single direction, resulting in low spatial resolution and insufficient prediction accuracy.
[0004] Existing full-scale solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) simulation studies are mostly limited to simple thermo-mass coupling or calculations of only electrochemical fields, making it difficult to realistically reflect the complex multi-field coupling and transport processes within the fuel cell. To reduce computational load, most studies have significantly simplified SOFC models, resulting in mass, temperature, and electrochemical field distributions calculated using such methods that differ greatly from real-world conditions. Consequently, control strategies designed based on these models lack sufficient persuasiveness. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a model predictive control method, storage medium, and device for solid oxide fuel cell systems. Based on a node-based approach, a more accurate dynamic model of the solid oxide fuel cell is established. Unlike other fuel cell models used for control strategy design, this invention monitors the internal temperature and flow fields while studying its external electrochemical characteristics, and precisely regulates them through a model predictive control strategy.

[0011] Furthermore, the model predictive controller optimizes fuel flow and stack input voltage by predicting the output power of the solid oxide fuel cell stack in real time and adjusting the power based on the predicted output power.
[0012] Furthermore, the model predictive controller is implemented in the following ways: the dynamic behavior of the solid oxide fuel cell stack is modeled in state space, and the state vector includes fuel flow rate, pressure, temperature and current density of each gas; based on the prediction of the model predictive controller, the state at least one time step in the future is predicted, and the optimal control input is calculated to minimize the control error; when solving the optimization problem, the output power error is minimized, and the stability of the system and the minimization of control energy consumption are ensured by adjusting the weight of the control input.
[0013] Furthermore, the model predictive controller employs an adaptive algorithm to estimate key parameters of the solid oxide fuel cell stack in real time. These key parameters include the flow coefficients of hydrogen, oxygen, and water, electrochemical reactions, and the temperature of the stack.
[0014] Furthermore, the estimation of the key parameters is achieved through the following steps: the system model is decomposed using a dynamic key parameter estimation method, with some key parameters being affected by parameter changes and others being related to the control input; within each sampling period, the estimated key parameters in the solid oxide fuel cell are updated.
[0015] The present invention provides a storage medium storing a computer program, which, when executed, implements the above-described predictive control method.
[0016] The present invention provides an electronic device, including: a processor, a memory, and a bus, wherein the memory stores machine-readable instructions executable by the processor, and when the electronic device is running, the processor communicates with the memory via the bus, and when the machine-readable instructions are executed by the processor, the predictive control method described above is performed.
[0017] The beneficial effects of the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention include:
[0018] This invention overcomes the limitations of traditional zero-dimensional and one-dimensional models in dynamic response analysis and thermal management by establishing a node-based fuel cell stack model to simulate the spatial distribution characteristics of the internal temperature field, component concentration field, and current density.

Therefore, this invention uses a specially simplified model based on existing computer equipment, which can shorten the computation time and significantly improve the accuracy and tracking performance of predictions. Under the condition that the tracking error is less than 0.8%, the tracking performance is less than 50ms.
[0027] Preferably, in this embodiment of the invention, a quasi-two-dimensional planar cross-flow solid oxide fuel cell model is established on the Matlab / Simulink platform.
[0028] Specifically, considering the wide application of different types of fuel cell stacks and to facilitate the verification of the rationality of subsequent models, this invention chooses to establish a flat-plate cross-flow solid oxide fuel cell stack model with a size of 15×15cm.
[0029] The dual-temperature layer design includes treating the anode layer, electrolyte layer, cathode layer, and connector layer as one temperature layer, and the air layer as an independent temperature layer.
