Meanwhile, as shown in fig. 3, the present embodiment also provides a working method of the power management integrated device of the multi-stack fuel cell system, which includes a formulation process 301 of the working method and an implementation process 302 of the working method.
The working method making process 301 sequentially includes the following steps:
determining a power management mode according to an application scene and the requirements of operators;
the first-stage power manager 101 sets the required output power of the multi-stack fuel cell system 105 and the required output power of the power cell system 106 according to the power management mode and the current power demand value;
the second level power manager 102 determines an optimal power allocation scheme in a split-level scheme, and a power management mode; the optimal power distribution scheme includes setting the required output power of each fuel cell stack 112;
comparing the optimal power distribution results of all the split-stack schemes to obtain an optimal split-stack scheme, and obtaining an optimal power distribution scheme under a set power management mode;
solving the optimal power distribution schemes in all power management modes to obtain the optimal power distribution schemes in all power management modes, and recording the obtained optimal power distribution schemes in all power management modes into a power distribution table;
the implementation process 302 of the working method includes the following steps:
in actual operation, the first stage power manager 101 sets the power to be output of the multi-stack fuel cell system 105 and the power to be output of the power cell system 106 according to the currently set power management mode and the required power value of the current load 109, and by looking up a power distribution table;
the second-stage power manager 102 sets the required output power of each fuel cell stack 112 by looking up a power distribution table according to the currently set power management mode and the required output power of the multi-stack fuel cell system 105.
The working method realizes the optimal distribution of the load demand power, optimizes the working method of the multi-stack fuel cell system 105, ensures that the multi-stack fuel cell system 105 can be maintained in a high-efficiency working range, further improves the overall efficiency of the multi-stack fuel cell system 105, prolongs the service life of the multi-stack fuel cell system, reduces the cost and improves the performance.
The first-stage power manager 101 adjusts the required output power of the multi-stack fuel cell system 105 and the required output power of the power cell system 106 according to the SOC, i.e., the state of charge, of the power cell system 106. If the SOC is less than a certain threshold, the power to be output of the multi-stack fuel cell system 105 increases. The multiple stack fuel cell system 105 and the power cell system 106 may power the drive device 107 or power the drive device 107 simultaneously, respectively, or the multiple stack fuel cell system 105 may power the drive device 107 while also charging the power cell system 106. Specifically, when the remaining charge of the power battery system 106 is smaller than the set threshold, the first-stage power manager 101 distributes the power to be output to the multi-stack fuel battery system 105 to be greater than the required power of the load 109, and at this time, the multi-stack fuel battery system 105 not only supplies the electric power to the driving device 107, but also charges the power battery; and at this time, the output power value of the multi-stack fuel cell system 105 minus the charging power value of the power cell system 106 is equal to the power value required by the driving device 107.
In this embodiment, when the driving device power manager 104 controls the driving device 107 to drive the load 109, the driving device 107 can be controlled to output power. When braking the load 109, the drive device power manager 104 can control the drive device 107 to recover energy of the load 109.
In the working method of the embodiment, the required power of the load 109 in the application scenario is determined according to the application scenario and the load 109 parameters, and the first-stage power manager 101 optimally distributes the required power of the load 109 to the multi-stack fuel cell system 105 and the power cell system 106 for output according to the required power of the load 109 at the current time, the historical output power, the required power change rate at the current time and the power management mode; the second stage power manager 102 optimally distributes the desired output power of the multi-stack fuel cell system 105 to each fuel cell stack 112 for output based on the characteristics of the efficiency, lifetime, etc. of each fuel cell stack 112 and the different power management modes. According to the running state and the mode requirement of the load 109, the power management integrated device of the multi-stack fuel cell system is provided with a plurality of different power management modes, and the power optimal distribution method under all possible working condition points is optimized through a method for establishing an optimization model in each power management mode, so that the system can directly call the optimization result when running in real time, the running complexity of the power management integrated device is reduced, and the device integration level is improved.
In the working method of this embodiment, the first stage power manager 101 determines the power required by the driving device 107 according to the running state requirement of the load 109 in the application scenario at the current moment, and the driving device power manager 104 controls the actual output state and the power change rate of the driving device 107. The power battery power manager 103 determines limit values of charge and discharge of the power battery system 106 and controls the charge and discharge states of the power battery system 106 at the current time.
In this embodiment, the first stage power manager 101 and the second stage power manager 102 have multiple different power management modes according to different operation modes of the load 109, and when the load 109 operates in different stages and different operation states, the power management modes can be automatically switched, including a start-up stage, a normal operation stage, a shutdown stage, and the like. In addition, the load 109 operating modes include: economy mode, high electrical efficiency mode, high thermal efficiency mode, high life mode, high performance mode, etc. The different operation modes can optimize the optimal power distribution schemes of the multi-stack fuel cell system 105 and the power cell system 106 of each working point in different operation states (the current time required power, the historical output power and the current time required power change rate) through a mathematical optimization model.
The power management integrated device 114 of the multi-stack fuel cell system in this embodiment is integrated in the multi-stack fuel cell system 105, and an independent power management device is not required to be provided for each fuel cell stack 112, so that the volume of the multi-stack fuel cell system 105 is effectively reduced.
In this embodiment, the driving device 107 is connected to the load 109 through the reducer 108, and the driving device 107 drives the load 109 to operate through the reducer 108. The power battery system 106 includes a plurality of power battery packs 113. The power battery power manager 103 is specifically configured to manage the input power and the output power of the entire power battery pack 113. The second stage power manager 102 is used to determine the power requirements of all fuel cell stacks 112 of the multi-stack fuel cell system 105.
In this embodiment, the power manager 103 controls the power input and output of the power battery 113, and the multi-stack fuel cell system 105 is used as a main power source to provide power for the load 109, and the power battery system 106 is used to achieve power balance of the system, so that the multi-stack fuel cell system 105 should be operated in a high-efficiency area as much as possible under the requirement of power performance, thereby improving the efficiency of the system. Therefore, in this embodiment, the control objective of the power manager 103 is to make the SOC of the power battery pack 113 always within a certain range, and limit the charge and discharge power of the power battery pack 113 within a reasonable range, so as to ensure that the power battery pack 113 is not overcharged or overdischarged, and reserve a charging space for regenerative braking. When the SOC value of the power battery pack 113 is in different ranges, the corresponding first-stage power manager 101 has different power management methods, and when the power is below the set range, the multi-stack fuel cell system 105 charges the power battery system 106 while powering the load 109. The SOC setting range can be flexibly set by those skilled in the art according to the actual application scenario.
Depending on the operator's needs, the load 109 typically has multiple modes of operation, with the multi-stack fuel cell system 105 having different power management modes in different modes of operation. The operating modes generally include an economy mode, a normal mode, and a performance mode, and power management with thermal efficiency as an optimization objective is also required when the load 109 is started or standby in a cold environment.
According to the working method in this embodiment, according to the working condition data of the load 109 in the application scenario, the power parameters of the load 109 are matched, so that the required power of the load 109 corresponding to each working condition point can be obtained, as long as the working condition data are enough, all the possibilities of the required power of the load 109 in the application scenario can be found, in the actual working of the load 109, the required power of the load 109 can be obtained according to the relation between the working condition point measured before and the required power of the load 109, and then the corresponding output power of the first-stage power manager 101 distributed to the multi-stack fuel cell system 105 and the power cell system 106 can be determined by adopting, but not limited to, a sliding average filtering method, a Savitzky-Golay convolution smoothing algorithm, a LOESS, an FFT filter method, a percentile filter and other related optimization algorithms. For example, the first stage power manager 101 employs a moving average filtering method to distribute the power to be output of the multi-stack fuel cell system 105 and the power cell system 106, primarily to mitigate fluctuations in MFCS power demand. At a certain time, the power to be output (P MFCS (t)) is defined as:
wherein P is e (t) is the real-time power demand of the vehicle in kW; n is the window size, where n=4; k is a scale factor, where k=0.7; p (P) MFCS And (t) is the real-time power to be output of the multi-stack fuel cell system 105.
The present embodiment has different fuel cell stack output power distribution methods for different power management modes, such as a power management method aimed at saving running cost, a power management method aimed at improving response speed, a power management method aimed at improving thermal efficiency, and so on. The optimal fuel cell stack output power distribution method needs to establish a mathematical optimization model under each objective, and combines the characteristics of the fuel cell stacks 112 to obtain the relation between the optimal multi-stack fuel cell system 105 and the output power distribution of each fuel cell stack 112, and in the actual working process of the load 109, the output power of each fuel cell stack 112 is distributed according to the power distribution scheme under each power management mode. For example, in the economic mode, the second stage power manager 102 uses the full life cycle cost as an optimization index, and uses the efficiency characteristic and the life characteristic of each fuel cell stack 112 as constraint conditions, to equivalent the efficiency of each fuel cell stack 112 to the use cost of hydrogen and the life of each fuel cell stack 112 to the damage cost of the stack, and establishes a mathematical model to allocate the required power of each fuel cell stack 112, where the established mathematical model is:
wherein M is a collection of available fuel cell stacks; k is the power required by the application sceneAnd the probability of distribution thereofIs a matrix of (a); alpha and beta are weights of hydrogen use cost and stack breakage cost; p (P) max The maximum required power in the application scene; Δp is the deviation of the maximum output power of MFCS from the maximum required power of the application scenario, where Δp=0; />Is the efficiency of the MFCS at a certain power requirement; />Is the ith fuel cellMaximum output power of the stack; />An output power of a certain fuel cell stack at a certain power requirement for the MFCS; 237.3 is the negative value of the Gibbs free energy, kJ/mol, which is the maximum electric power that the fuel cell system can output; />Is the cost of hydrogen; c (C) p,l The total breaking cost of each fuel cell stack under certain required power is calculated; c (C) h,l Is the total hydrogen usage cost of each fuel cell stack at a certain required power.
As shown in fig. 3, the working method of the power management integrated device of the multi-stack fuel cell system in this embodiment mainly includes: a working method formulation process 301 and a working method implementation process 302. Firstly, the required power of the load 109 in an application scene is determined according to the parameters of the load 109 and the application scene description, a mathematical statistical rule of the required power of the load 109 in the application scene is obtained, and an operator determines a power management mode according to the working content and the operation mode requirement of the load 109.
After determining the power management mode, a mathematical model needs to be established to optimize the power allocation schemes of all power points in all power management modes. Taking a high-efficiency operation mode as an example, the high-efficiency operation of the multi-stack fuel cell system 105 is taken as a power management target, and the optimal power output scheme under a certain split-stack scheme is optimized with different load 109 operation states (current time required power, historical output power and current time power requirement change rate), efficiency characteristics, quantity, power output range and other objective conditions of the fuel cell stacks 112 as constraints. The optimized result is the power optimized distribution result under the current power management mode and the maximum power distribution scheme of the fuel cell stack 112. The current power optimization distribution result and the required power distribution of the load 109 in the application scene are utilized to obtain the average efficiency of a certain split-stack scheme in the high-efficiency working mode in the current application scene, and then all possible split-stack schemes are solved to obtain the optimal split-stack scheme in the current application scene. Combining the multiple power management modes, the optimal split-stack scheme of the multi-stack fuel cell system 105 and the power distribution scheme under each power management mode are obtained through comprehensive comparison, and the power distribution scheme can be obtained according to the table look-up of the output power of the multi-stack fuel cell system 105 in the running process of the load 109. Therefore, the computing power requirement of the power management integrated device is reduced, and the integration level of the device is improved.
It can be understood that the optimal split-level scheme and the optimal power allocation scheme in each power management mode in this embodiment are optimized for a certain application scenario, and are only applicable to the power management method in the application scenario. When the application scene changes, the result is not applicable any more, and the power management method in the current application scene needs to be redetermined according to the working method in the embodiment.
In summary, the present invention effectively overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art and has high industrial utility value.
