Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of solid-state hydrogen storage technology, specifically to a method for measuring the remaining hydrogen content in solid-state hydrogen storage. Background Technology

[0002] Hydrogen storage technologies are mainly divided into material-based hydrogen storage and physical hydrogen storage, with physical hydrogen storage including gaseous and liquid hydrogen storage. Gaseous hydrogen storage, due to its advantages such as fast hydrogen charging and discharging rates, low energy consumption, low cost, and mature technology, has become the most commercially viable hydrogen storage technology. Solid-state hydrogen storage technology, due to its advantages such as high volumetric hydrogen storage density, good safety, no need for high-pressure containers, and the ability to improve hydrogen purity, is considered one of the best hydrogen storage methods for off-grid power generation in conjunction with renewable energy sources. However, in existing technologies, the calculation of the remaining hydrogen content in solid-state hydrogen storage is always inaccurate, making it impossible to know the remaining hydrogen content during application, leading to user complaints. Furthermore, directly charging unused solid-state hydrogen storage systems poses safety risks.

[0003] Currently, the estimation algorithm for the remaining hydrogen capacity of solid-state hydrogen storage systems mainly involves subtracting the hydrogen consumption after hydrogen-to-electric conversion from the initial weight and the hydrogen emission estimated by empirical models (or simply ignoring it). This leads to significant deviations in the calculation of remaining hydrogen capacity, and there is also a lack of calibration methods for the remaining hydrogen capacity during system operation.

[0004] Please refer to patent document CN 106052791 A, which discloses a method for measuring the remaining hydrogen volume in a solid-state hydrogen storage device. The method includes: injecting hydrogen into a fixed-volume container and measuring the pressure and temperature of the hydrogen; performing pressure and temperature correction on the hydrogen in the fixed-volume container to obtain the hydrogen volume under standard conditions; a data processing controller accumulating the amount of hydrogen emitted each time and comparing it with the initial hydrogen storage capacity of the solid-state hydrogen storage device to obtain the remaining hydrogen volume; and displaying the remaining hydrogen volume in the solid-state hydrogen storage device. The device for measuring the remaining hydrogen volume in a solid-state hydrogen storage device consists of a solid-state hydrogen storage device, a pressure reducer, pressure and temperature sensors, a solenoid valve, a fixed-volume container, a data processing controller, and a display.

[0005] Patent document CN 118117126 A discloses a device, method, computer-readable storage medium, and product for estimating the remaining hydrogen quantity of a fuel cell system based on solid-state hydrogen storage. The device includes: a solid-state hydrogen storage cylinder, a fuel cell stack, an electronic load, an ammeter, a current integration module, and a fuel cell controller. The solid-state hydrogen storage cylinder stores hydrogen in a solid material. The outlet of the solid-state hydrogen storage cylinder is connected to the hydrogen inlet of the fuel cell stack. The hydrogen outlet of the fuel cell stack is connected to the electronic load. The ammeter is connected to the electronic load, the current integration module, and the fuel cell stack, respectively. The ammeter is used to collect the current of the electronic load, and the current integration module is used to integrate the current. The fuel cell controller is connected to the current integration module and is used to calculate the remaining hydrogen quantity of the fuel cell system based on the current integration. This invention enables users and maintenance personnel to monitor the remaining hydrogen quantity of the fuel cell system in real time.

[0006] Patent document CN 118376926A discloses a method for estimating the remaining power percentage of a solid-state hydrogen storage fuel cell. This method involves recording operating data from the equipment after the solid-state hydrogen storage fuel cell is fully charged and operating under rated conditions. The output power is calculated based on the fuel cell's output voltage and current, and then summed to obtain the "rated output power" of the solid-state hydrogen storage fuel cell. During actual operation, the "cumulative output power" is calculated in real time using the formula: Remaining power percentage of the solid-state hydrogen storage fuel cell = 1 - Cumulative output power / Rated output power. The operating data recorded by the equipment during rated operation is used to indicate the remaining power of the equipment, reminding operators to refuel with hydrogen in a timely manner.

[0007] In the aforementioned existing technologies, the primary focus is on calculating the initial hydrogen storage capacity of solid-state hydrogen storage. The calculation of the remaining hydrogen capacity during operation mainly focuses on hydrogen consumption during the hydrogen-to-electricity conversion process, neglecting the estimation of hydrogen emissions. This leads to inaccuracies in the accuracy of remaining hydrogen capacity measurements. Furthermore, the measurement devices only measure the initial state, lacking calibration devices for hydrogen quantity measurements during operation. This also prevents the calibration and optimization of the remaining hydrogen capacity testing model. Therefore, current technologies cannot accurately display the remaining hydrogen capacity of solid-state hydrogen storage systems. Summary of the Invention

[0032] Furthermore, the total weight of the hydrogen gas The calculation method is as follows: the mass of the hydrogen storage module after it is filled with hydrogen is subtracted from the original weight of the hydrogen storage module.

[0033] Furthermore, the hydrogen pressure value of the hydrogen storage module is the hydrogen pressure value detected when the temperature of the hydrogen storage module is at a set temperature.

[0034] Furthermore, the hydrogen storage module is connected to an antifreeze circulation system, which includes a PTC heater for heating the antifreeze and a circulation pump for driving the antifreeze circulation flow.

[0035] The PTC heater works in conjunction with the circulating pump to keep the temperature of the hydrogen storage module at a set temperature.

[0036] Further, the step of calculating the second remaining hydrogen quantity based on the hydrogen pressure value of the hydrogen storage module and the pre-obtained hydrogen storage mass density of the hydrogen storage module includes:

[0054] The hydrogen storage module 4 is connected to the fuel cell stack and is used to supply hydrogen. The hydrogen storage module 4 is connected to a hydrogen pressure sensor through a pipeline. The hydrogen pressure sensor is used to obtain the hydrogen pressure value of the hydrogen storage module 4. The anode chamber of the fuel cell stack is provided with an exhaust port for exhaust gas purging. The exhaust port is equipped with an exhaust valve.

[0059] Specifically, the FCU first calculates the corresponding first hydrogen consumption based on the collected voltage and current using a real-time integration method. This computational model is based on the electrochemical principles of fuel cells and includes the following steps:

[0060] Real-time data acquisition: The total current of the fuel cell stack is acquired in real time via the FCU. ;

[0061] Integral calculation: during the control cycle Integrating the current, we obtain the accumulated charge. :

The calibration device body 1 is equipped with a hydrogen pressure detection pipeline 6, which is connected to a pressure gauge 3 via a hydrogen gas connector. The pressure gauge 3 obtains the hydrogen pressure value through a hydrogen pressure sensor. The hydrogen storage module 4 is temperature-controlled by heat exchange with antifreeze. The hydrogen storage module 4 has an antifreeze outlet and an antifreeze inlet. The antifreeze outlet is connected in sequence to a PTC heater, a water pump, an antifreeze inlet pipeline 7, and an antifreeze inlet via an antifreeze water outlet pipeline 5. A temperature sensor for detecting the inlet temperature is installed at the antifreeze inlet.

[0090] The PTC heater, temperature sensor, and water pump are connected to the controller. The controller controls the PTC heater and water pump based on the inlet temperature detected by the temperature sensor to ensure the inlet temperature reaches the set temperature. The antifreeze inlet line 7 and antifreeze outlet line 5 maintain the temperature of the hydrogen storage module at the set temperature. At this time, the hydrogen pressure value inside the hydrogen storage module 4 is obtained from the hydrogen pressure detection line 6 and pressure gauge 3. The PCT curve is a curve that describes the relationship between the equilibrium pressure of hydrogen and the hydrogen content in a hydrogen storage material at a constant temperature. This is the equilibrium pressure of hydrogen gas, usually expressed on a logarithmic scale. The hydrogen content in a material can be expressed as its hydrogen storage density.

Figure 2 Based on the hydrogen storage properties of the hydrogen storage material inside hydrogen storage module 4, the pressure-concentration-temperature (PCT) curve of the hydrogen storage material at a set temperature is obtained. The nearly horizontal region in the middle of the curve (the selected area) is the plateau region, where metal solid solutions and metal hydrides coexist. With the addition of hydrogen, the metal solid solution continuously transforms into metal hydrides, but the system pressure remains essentially constant. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 The PCT curve is the hydrogen pressure curve in the plateau region. With hydrogen storage mass density ( The result is obtained by fitting. ( )about The graph of a linear function is obtained. Based on the PCT curve and the detected hydrogen pressure value, the hydrogen storage mass density of the hydrogen storage module is obtained; based on the hydrogen storage mass density and the total mass of the hydrogen storage material, the second remaining hydrogen quantity is calculated.

[0091] like Figure 1 As shown, the hydrogen storage capacity is displayed in real time on the display screen 2 of the calibration device body 1. And through calibration, that is, determining whether m equals... If m and If they are not equal, then the correction factor for the vent valve diameter in the algorithm for the remaining hydrogen quantity in the solid-state hydrogen storage system is applied. and dynamic environmental compensation coefficient Optimization is performed. The schematic diagram of the internal system of the calibration device is shown below. Figure 4 As shown.

[0092] Specifically, the optimization process includes:
