s101, acquiring various working conditions of the fuel cell and corresponding various first performance parameters.
The first performance parameter is obtained by inputting various working conditions in the fuel cell testing device for testing; the electrochemical performance of the fuel cell is different under different working conditions, so that the electrochemical performance parameters of the fuel cell under different temperatures, humidity, pressure and flow, namely first performance parameters, CAN be obtained by adjusting the working conditions such as the flow, the temperature, the pressure and the like of air, hydrogen and water, signals of the working conditions and the first performance parameters CAN be led into a self-made FPGA data acquisition device or a commercial Agilent data acquisition device through a CAN2.0 interface and a signal line, and then read through a computer and upper computer software in an Internet of things platform, so that accurate calibration parameter data CAN be obtained; and the actual conditions, the first performance parameters and the parameter coupling relationship among the working conditions, the first performance parameters and the first performance parameters are solved and calculated according to the data of the working conditions and the first performance parameters, and the working conditions, the first performance parameters and the parameter coupling relationship among the working conditions, the first performance parameters and the first performance parameters can be applied to the aspects of fuel cell digital twin construction, fuel cell digital twin calibration, training development and the like in the subsequent steps.
And S103, adjusting various working conditions in a simulation model of the fuel cell digital twin body so as to enable the fuel cell digital twin body to operate to obtain various second performance parameters.
Similar to the first performance parameter, the second performance parameter may also include parameter information such as a pressure drop and a temperature rise in each flow path of the fuel cell digital twin, a current density distribution in the fuel cell, a voltage, and a real-time temperature field.
The working conditions and the first performance parameters are mapped into the simulation model, can be input through a computer and expansion interfaces of some simulation software in the platform of the Internet of things, and then the fuel cell digital twin body runs, so that in the fuel cell digital twin body, the multi-physical field coupling performance analysis can be carried out by combining the current density distribution measured by the PCB and the temperature field distribution data measured by the thermal infrared imager; for example, after a certain boundary condition (the same as the data such as the operating condition input in the fuel cell testing apparatus) is input into the simulation model, a solver built in the simulation model is used to perform a coupled solution based on a formula in the fields of finite volume method, hydrodynamics, heat transfer chemistry, electrochemistry and the like, so as to obtain a second performance parameter of the fuel cell twin.
The simulation model herein refers to a fuel cell digital twin, and may also refer to simulation software for creating a fuel cell digital twin.
And S105, judging whether the second performance parameters are consistent with the first performance parameters under the same working conditions according to the various first performance parameters and the various second performance parameters.
The step can also be directly judged in the simulation model, and can also be judged by adopting a computer and other judging modules in the platform of the Internet of things so as to meet different calibration requirements.
And S107, if the judgment results are consistent, the calibration of the fuel cell digital twin is finished, and the fuel cell digital twin is stored.
In the process, a first performance parameter can be selected as a judgment standard, and other data are the same as data obtained by actual measurement and are input as boundary conditions for judgment; for example, if the current density distribution is used as a judgment standard, if the current density distribution output by the digital twin of the fuel cell is consistent with the actual current density distribution acquired by the data acquisition unit, the digital twin of the fuel cell under the working condition is proved to be accurate; in another possible implementation manner of the present specification, at least two first performance parameters may be selected together as a determination criterion to accelerate the calibration efficiency.
And S109, if the judgment results are inconsistent, correcting the fuel cell digital twin body, and returning to the step of adjusting various working conditions in the simulation model for the corrected fuel cell digital twin body so as to enable the fuel cell digital twin body to obtain various second performance parameters.
At this time, the simulation model can be adjusted and corrected through an empirical formula or a correction system, and the steps S103-S109 are executed again until the first performance parameter simulated by the digital twin of the fuel cell approaches the first performance parameter obtained by the test.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 2 of the specification, after step S107, that is, after calibration is completed, the method further includes:
and S202, inputting a new working condition in the fuel cell digital twin body to perform a simulation test to obtain various third performance parameters.
And S204, outputting the third performance parameter to the fuel cell to optimize the fuel cell.
That is, the calibrated digital twin of the fuel cell can show the performance similar to the entity of the fuel cell, and can be used for optimizing and predicting the fuel cell; the method has the advantages that the new working conditions, namely the new working conditions, are input into the digital twin body of the fuel cell, so that the test and optimization of various working conditions and test scenes can be carried out, the reference of the fault point and the fault probability of the fuel cell is provided, the performance of the virtual model can be optimized by combining various simulation software, the performance of the fuel cell can be accurately predicted, the predicted and optimized result is applied to the entity of the fuel cell, the accuracy of the simulation model is high, the development efficiency of the fuel cell can be greatly improved, the development period is shortened, and the development cost is reduced.
