摘要
为改善传统温度控制方法在水冷型质子交换膜燃料电池(PEMFC)系统工作中出现的冷却水泵和散热器风扇的强耦合特性,该文提出一种流量跟随功率的改进温度控制策略。通过OPC技术(用于过程控制的OLE)实现可编程逻辑控制器(PLC)和Matlab的实时通讯,利用Matlab/Simulink模拟电堆功率和输出控制量。最后,在水冷PEMFC热管理实验平台对流量跟随功率控制与传统温度控制策略进行实验对比,实验结果表明,流量跟随功率控制策略实现了冷却水泵和散热器风扇有效解耦,具有较好的控制精度和响应速度,取得了优于传统温度控制策略的控制效果,能够满足水冷PEMFC系统对温度控制的需求。
In order to solve the strong coupling problem that exists during the operation process of the water-cooled proton exchange membrane fuel cell(PEMFC),a flow-following-power strategy focusing on temperature control was proposed in this paper. The OPC(OLE for Process Control) technology was introduced to achieve real-time communication between Matlab and PLC while the simulation of stack power and the output of control variable were completed in Matlab/Simulink. Finally,comparative experiments between the traditional control strategy and the flowfollowing-power strategy were made on a thermal management test platform of water-cooled PEMFC. The experimental results indicate that the flow-following-power strategy is superior to the traditional control strategy in controlling precision and response speed by means of effectively decoupling between water pump and radiator fan. The proposed strategy can well satisfy the temperature controlling requirements of the water-cooled PEMFC.
