And when the current is not equal to the target current, the current is larger than or smaller than the target current, when the current is larger than the target current, the water production in the fuel cell system electric pile begins to increase, and the water content possibly exceeds the target value, and then the current electric pile water content of the fuel cell system is obtained. As an example, the current stack water content may be obtained by a water level sensor or data modeling means connected to the fuel cell stack by the fuel cell system controller.
It should be noted that the target current provided in the embodiment of the present invention may be obtained through an experiment on the fuel cell system, may also be obtained through operation history data of the fuel cell system, and may also be obtained through a data modeling manner, and the manner of obtaining the target current in the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.

Further, the method provided by the embodiment of the invention can also discharge water by simultaneously reducing the air side pressure to the first target pressure and increasing the hydrogen side pressure to the second target pressure.
In an alternative embodiment, the initial pressure on the air side and the initial pressure on the hydrogen side of the fuel cell stack are obtained, and the target pressure on the air side and the target pressure on the hydrogen side of the fuel cell stack are obtained. It should be noted that the target pressure on the air side and the target pressure on the hydrogen side of the fuel cell stack of the fuel cell system can be determined by historical operating data of the fuel cell system.
Furthermore, the pressure value for reducing the air side pressure to the first target pressure and the pressure value for increasing the hydrogen side pressure to the second target pressure can be obtained by the difference between the initial air side pressure and the target air side pressure of the fuel cell stack and the difference between the initial hydrogen side pressure and the target hydrogen side pressure.

It can be understood that the stack water content rate marks the electrochemical conversion rate of the fuel cell system, and by obtaining the current stack water content rising rate, the current stack water content and the standard deviation of the target value of the stack water content, the time for discharging water can be known, and the opening time of the second valve can be adjusted according to the time, and the air side pressure is reduced and the hydrogen side pressure is increased at the same time. Therefore, the discharge efficiency of the water content in the galvanic pile can be improved.
And S204, when the current water content of the galvanic pile is less than or equal to the target value of the water content of the galvanic pile, acquiring the average monolithic voltage and the lowest monolithic voltage of the fuel cell system.
It can be understood that when the current water content of the fuel cell stack is less than or equal to the target water content of the fuel cell stack, the water content and the content of the mixed gas at the hydrogen side in the fuel cell system are controlled by the voltage change of the average single-chip voltage and the lowest single-chip voltage, so that the efficiency and the accuracy of the control of the fuel cell system are improved by multi-azimuth and multi-level adjustment.

As an example, the second valve may be opened at intervals of 0.1 second, 1 minute, or more to discharge the impure gas on the hydrogen side in the fuel cell system stack. The first period duration may be determined according to the performance of an engine in the fuel cell system, or may be determined according to the performance of the fuel cell stack.
In an alternative embodiment, opening the first valve coupled to the fuel cell system stack to vent the hydrogen side of the fuel cell system stack includes opening the first valve coupled to the fuel cell system stack to increase the hydrogen side pressure to a third target pressure to vent the hydrogen side of the fuel cell system stack.

As one example, the third target pressure may be determined from historical data of fuel cell system operation, or from modeling of historical data.

It is to be understood that when the present current is equal to the target current, the present current is allowed to stabilize, that is, a first time is waited, the first time may be 1 minute or 20 minutes, and may be specifically determined according to the performance of the engine of the fuel cell system, and the length of the first time is not limited thereto in the embodiment of the present invention. And after the current is stable, the water content in the fuel cell stack also tends to be stable, and the current stack water content of the fuel cell is obtained at the moment.
