Abstract
Description
Fuel cell system startup control method, device, electronic equipment and medium Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of fuel cell technology, and in particular to a startup control method, device, electronic equipment, and medium for a fuel cell system. Background Art
[0002] A fuel cell system consists of a stack, hydrogen subsystem, air subsystem, cooling subsystem, and electronic control system. The stack is a key component of the fuel cell system, and its performance directly determines the quality of the fuel cell system. The dynamic operation of the fuel cell system can affect stack performance degradation, especially during the startup phase. Improper startup methods can directly lead to stack performance degradation and even damage. Therefore, the startup control method for the fuel cell system is crucial, affecting the stack's performance, service life, and startup failure rate.
[0003] In related technologies, during the startup process, hydrogen and air are introduced into the fuel cell system in sequence, and then the current is quickly loaded to start the fuel cell system. During the startup process, the air stoichiometric ratio is reduced to avoid the generation of high potential in the stack. However, this method still causes the stack to be at high potential for a long time during the system startup process, which accelerates the corrosion of the stack catalyst, gas diffusion, and electrode plates.
[0004] In addition, when the fuel cell system is used again after being stored for a long time, the system is still started using the quick load method. This method cannot determine whether the status of the battery stack supports the normal startup of the system. If the system cannot start normally, this method will extend the system startup time, and in severe cases will cause the system to malfunction and shut down.

Based on the single-chip voltage value, the health status of the stack during the startup process is detected to protect the stack. Specifically, when the single-chip voltage value is greater than or equal to the first voltage value and less than or equal to the second voltage value, it indicates that the stack is in a healthy state and the fuel cell system is started. When the single-chip voltage value is greater than the second voltage value, it indicates that the single-chip voltage value of the stack is too high and the stack is in an unhealthy state. The load current of the fuel cell system can be increased once or multiple times to make the single-chip voltage value of the stack less than or equal to the second voltage value, effectively reducing the time the stack is at a high potential and avoiding the generation of high potential in the stack, thereby avoiding carbon corrosion of the catalyst, gas diffusion layer, and electrode plates caused by the high potential of the stack, ensuring the performance of the stack, and improving the life and reliability of the stack. When the single-chip voltage value is less than the first voltage value, the load current of the fuel cell system can be reduced once or multiple times to increase the single-chip voltage value of the stack. If the cell voltage is greater than or equal to the first voltage value, the fuel cell system is operated at the reduced load current for a preset first period of time, and then the process returns to the step of setting the fuel cell system load current to the first current value. In other words, the stack is controlled to operate at the maximum tolerable current for a period of time, which allows the stack to quickly reach a healthy state and reduces system startup time. If the reduced load current is less than or equal to the second current value, and the cell voltage remains below the first voltage value for longer than the preset second period of time, this indicates a performance issue with the stack and fails to meet startup requirements, and the fuel cell system is stopped.

[0052] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the present application, the scheme of the present application will be further described below. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features therein can be combined with each other.
[0053] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application, but the present application can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; it is obvious that the embodiments in the specification are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments.
[0054] Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for starting and controlling a fuel cell system according to an embodiment of the present application, which may include the following steps:
[0055] Step S102: When the fuel cell system is started, hydrogen and air are introduced into the fuel cell stack.
[0056] When the fuel cell system is started, hydrogen is usually introduced into the anode of the stack first, and then air is introduced into the cathode. The hydrogen and oxygen undergo an electrochemical reaction under the catalytic action, and the stack generates voltage.
[0057] In some embodiments, after hydrogen is introduced into the stack, the hydrogen pressure is detected, and when the hydrogen pressure reaches a preset pressure, air is introduced into the stack. This prevents air from the cathode side from penetrating into the anode side.
[0058] Optionally, before the hydrogen pressure reaches the preset pressure, the gas on the hydrogen side of the stack can be periodically discharged to ensure that when air is introduced into the cathode, the air and other gases remaining on the anode side are completely discharged, avoiding the formation of a hydrogen-air interface at the anode and accelerating the performance degradation of the catalyst.
[0059] Step S104: setting the load current of the fuel cell system to a first current value.
[0060] The first current value may be different for different scenarios. For example, the first current value may be 0.2A / cm 2 wait.
[0061] Step S106 , detecting a single-chip voltage value of the stack, and comparing the single-chip voltage value with the first voltage value and the second voltage value.
[0062] The first voltage value and the second voltage value are preset thresholds for detecting whether the battery stack is healthy, and the second voltage value is greater than the first voltage value. The magnitudes of the first voltage value and the second voltage value may also change with the change of the first current value.
[0063] Step S108 , when the single-chip voltage value is greater than or equal to the first voltage value and less than or equal to the second voltage value, starting the fuel cell system.
[0064] When the single-chip voltage value is greater than or equal to the first voltage value and less than or equal to the second voltage value, it means that the single-chip voltage value is neither too high nor too low, and the fuel cell stack is neither at a high potential nor at a low potential, that is, the fuel cell stack is in a healthy state and the fuel cell system can be started directly.
[0065] Step S110 , when the single-chip voltage value is greater than the second voltage value, increasing the load current of the fuel cell system to reduce the single-chip voltage value of the stack, and returning to step 106 .
[0066] When the single-chip voltage value is greater than the second voltage value, it indicates that the stack is at a high potential and the stack is in an unhealthy state. The single-chip voltage value of the stack can be reduced by increasing the load current of the fuel cell system. Alternatively, the load current of the fuel cell system can be increased by a preset current difference. For example, the preset current difference can be 0.02A / cm 2 The increased load current is 0.22A / cm 2 By cyclically executing steps S106 to S110, the load current can be increased multiple times, and accordingly, the voltage value of the single cell of the stack will gradually decrease. When the single cell voltage value is less than or equal to the second voltage value, it indicates that the stack is in a healthy state and the fuel cell system is started.
[0067] Step S112 , when the single-chip voltage value is less than the first voltage value, reducing the load current of the fuel cell system to increase the single-chip voltage value of the fuel cell stack.
[0068] When the single-chip voltage value is less than the first voltage value, it indicates that the stack is at a low potential and the stack is in an unhealthy state. The load current of the fuel cell system can be reduced to increase the single-chip voltage value of the stack. Alternatively, the load current of the fuel cell system can be reduced according to a preset current difference. For example, the preset current difference can be 0.02A / cm 2 The reduced load current is 0.18A / cm 2 .
[0069] Step S114 , detecting the voltage value of a single cell of the stack, and determining whether the voltage value of the single cell is less than a first voltage value.
[0070] After reducing the load current of the fuel cell system, the voltage value of the single cell of the stack will increase. If the voltage value of the single cell is still less than the first voltage value, step S116 is executed. If the voltage value of the single cell is greater than or equal to the first voltage value, step S120 is executed.
[0071] Step S116 , determining whether the reduced load current is greater than a second current value; wherein the second current value is less than the first current value.
[0072] If the reduced load current is greater than the second current value, step S118 is executed; if the reduced load current is less than or equal to the second current value, it indicates that the reduced load current is too small, and step S122 is executed.
[0073] Step S118 , reducing the load current of the fuel cell system to increase the single-chip voltage value of the fuel cell stack, and returning to step 114 .
[0074] Step S120 , operating the fuel cell system at the reduced load current for a preset first period of time, and then returning to step 104 .
[0075] In this embodiment of the present application, although the single-chip voltage value is greater than or equal to the first voltage value, the reduced load current is less than the first current value. However, the reduced load current is the maximum tolerable current of the fuel cell stack. In this case, the fuel cell stack is controlled to operate at the maximum tolerable current for a period of time. This process can increase the humidity in the fuel cell stack, allowing the stack to quickly reach a healthy state and reducing the startup time of the fuel cell system. Thereafter, the process returns to step S104 and re-executes the above startup process.
[0076] Step S122 , when the duration of the single-chip voltage value being less than the first voltage value is greater than a preset second time period, the fuel cell system is stopped.
[0077] If the duration of the single chip voltage value being less than the first voltage value is greater than the preset second time period, it indicates that the fuel cell system fails to meet the startup requirements and there is a problem with the performance of the fuel cell system. The system may report a fault and stop starting.
[0078] In the startup control method for a fuel cell system according to an embodiment of the present application, when a single-chip voltage value is greater than a second voltage value, indicating that the stack's single-chip voltage value is too high, the fuel cell system's load current can be increased once or multiple times to reduce the stack's single-chip voltage value to less than or equal to the second voltage value. This effectively reduces the time the stack is at a high potential and avoids the generation of high stack potential, thereby avoiding carbon corrosion of the catalyst, gas diffusion layer, and plate caused by the stack being at a high potential, ensuring the stack's performance, and improving the stack's lifespan and reliability. When the single-chip voltage value is less than the first voltage value, the fuel cell system's load current can be reduced once or multiple times to increase the stack's single-chip voltage value. When the single-chip voltage value is greater than or equal to the first voltage value, the fuel cell system is operated at the reduced load current for a preset first period of time, and then the process returns to the step of setting the fuel cell system's load current to the first current value. In other words, the stack is controlled to operate at its maximum tolerable current for a period of time, thereby enabling the stack to quickly reach a healthy state and reducing system startup time. When the reduced load current is less than or equal to the second current value, and the duration of the single-chip voltage value being less than the first voltage value is greater than the preset second time period, it indicates that there is a problem with the performance of the fuel cell stack and the startup requirements are not met, and the fuel cell system is stopped.
