    摘要: A fuel cell control command device including: a catalyst potential calculation unit for calculating a catalyst potential of a cathode catalyst; a coating state calculation unit for calculating an oxide film formation amount of the catalyst; a command value candidate calculation unit for calculating a plurality of command value candidates including a combination of an estimated current, estimated total voltage, and a candidate control parameter, from which a power command value is obtained; a loss amount calculation unit for calculating an estimated loss for each combination; a provisional catalyst potential calculation unit for calculating an estimated catalyst potential for each combination; a deterioration amount calculation unit for calculating an estimated deterioration amount for each combination; and a command value calculation unit for selecting a combination having a minimum comprehensive index including the estimated loss and/or the estimated deterioration amount and outputting the selected combination as a command value.

    摘要: A catalyst deterioration suppression device includes: a first device obtaining a fuel cell voltage V (=catalyst voltage Vcat) as a variable to estimate a response speed (time constant τ) at which a coverage ratio of an oxide film of catalyst particles contained in a fuel cell cathode changes; a second device reading out a time constant τt corresponding to the voltage V at a current time t from a pre-made map A representing a relationship between the voltage V and the time constant τ and corresponding to the catalyst particles; a third device generating a continuous-time type dynamic filter F(s, τ) by using the time constant τt and converting the continuous-time type dynamic filter F(s, τ) to a discrete-time type dynamic filter F(z, τ); and a fourth device inputting a target voltage Vr to the discrete-time type dynamic filter F(z, τ) and outputting a corrected target voltage Vr-fil.

    摘要: An operation mode of a secondary battery (BAT) is determined based on state of charge of BAT. A power generation provisional command value of fuel cell (FC) at time i is determined to maximize efficiency of FC based on system required power and state of charge of BAT at time i. An intermittent ON/OFF state at time i is determined such that switching of intermittent operation of FC is not continuous based on operation mode of BAT, the power generation provisional command value, and the system required power at time i, and an intermittent ON/OFF state at time (i−1). Further, when intermittent ON is determined at time i, the FC is stopped, and when intermittent OFF is determined at time i, a larger one is output, as the power generation command value for the FC at time i, between the power generation provisional command value and an intermittent OFF threshold.
