Abstract:

For the thermal management system of fuel cell vehicle engine, taking the optimal temperature value at the inlet and outlet of the stack under different operating conditions as the objective function and considering the interference of components and environment, the simulation model based on parameter estimation is established, and the thermal management control strategy based on adaptive control is designed. The problems of thermal management interference uncertainty and system state hysteresis of fuel cell engine are improved. The simulation results show that the thermal management strategy has good adaptability under different reactor operating conditions, and can achieve the goal of stabilizing the inlet and outlet temperature of the reactor at the set value and minimizing the change of the system temperature when the large and small cycles are turned on.

Key words: vehicle engineering, fuel cell vehicle, heat management, adaptive control method
