Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of fuel cells, in particular to a fuel cell air system control method.

Background

The hydrogen fuel cell is a power generation device which directly converts chemical energy generated by the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen into electric energy through electrochemical reaction, has the advantages of high power generation efficiency, small environmental pollution and the like, and is widely applied to the field of automobiles. The fuel cell needs hydrogen and air to react to generate electric energy when running, the air is supplied by an air compressor to supply certain air flow, the air side pressure needs to be increased through a throttle valve, the pressure measured by the proton exchange membrane air is kept constant, and the mechanical damage of the membrane is reduced. When the sensor cannot detect a normal numerical value, namely the sensor fails, the sensor cannot detect a real numerical value at the moment, the calculation method has no normal numerical value feedback, and the traditional calculation method cannot normally calculate, so that the air flow and pressure control is abnormal.

The prior art generally controls air flow in a fuel cell air system in two ways: 1. and the high-precision control is achieved by adopting real-time control adjustment, calculating through the difference value of the actual flow or pressure and the target flow or pressure and carrying out real-time control adjustment. The disadvantage of this method is that it relies on the difference between the actual value and the target value for calculation, so the stability requirement for the sensor is extremely high and the algorithm cannot be executed properly when the sensor fails.

2. Through a calibration and correction mode, firstly calibrating the output states of the air compressor and the throttle valve corresponding to the normal working state, then setting the working states of the air compressor and the throttle valve according to the target output state to be executed, and then correcting the working state of the air system of the fuel cell according to the difference value between the target value and the actual value of the air flow of the air system of the fuel cell, wherein the current algorithm of the method has certain requirements on the stability requirements of the sensor, and can continuously run when the sensor fails: however, this method has a problem that when the sensor fails, the correction amount becomes a disturbance amount of the calibration output, which causes the output to be biased or uncertain; in addition, the correction range is limited in this way, and when the test environment exceeds the limit, the algorithm cannot achieve the expected output.

In view of the foregoing, it would be desirable to provide a fuel cell air system control method that overcomes the deficiencies of the prior art.
