INTEGRATED FUEL CELL CONTROL SYSTEM AND CONTROL METHOD USING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17728420 titled 'INTEGRATED FUEL CELL CONTROL SYSTEM AND CONTROL METHOD USING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an integrated fuel cell control system and method that includes a valve, a drive motor, a sensor, and a fuel cell control unit. The fuel cell control unit calculates a motor control amount based on sensor information and an operator request value, and operates the drive motor accordingly.

  • The integrated fuel cell control system includes:
  * At least one valve to control a fluid in a fuel cell system.
  * At least one drive motor to drive the valve.
  * At least one sensor to detect the opening degree of the valve.
  * A fuel cell control unit to control the fuel cell system.
  • The fuel cell control unit consists of:
  * A drive logic unit that calculates a motor control amount based on sensor information and an operator request value.
  * A drive unit that operates the drive motor based on the motor control amount determined by the drive logic unit.
  • The integrated control method involves:
  * Detecting the opening degree of the valve using the sensor.
  * Calculating a motor control amount based on the detected information and an operator request value.
  * Operating the drive motor based on the calculated motor control amount.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various fuel cell systems, such as:

  • Automotive fuel cell systems.
  • Stationary power generation systems.
  • Portable power systems.

Problems Solved

The integrated fuel cell control system and method solve several problems, including:

  • Efficient control of fluid flow in a fuel cell system.
  • Accurate monitoring and adjustment of valve opening degree.
  • Precise control of the drive motor based on sensor feedback.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Improved fuel cell system performance and efficiency.
  • Enhanced reliability and durability of the system.
  • Simplified control and operation of the fuel cell system.
  • Potential for cost reduction in fuel cell system manufacturing and maintenance.


Original Abstract Submitted

An integrated fuel cell control system including at least one valve installed to control a fluid in a fuel cell system, at least one drive motor configured to drive the valve, at least one sensor configured to detect the opening degree of the valve, and a fuel cell control unit configured to control the fuel cell system, wherein the fuel cell control unit includes a drive logic unit configured to calculate a motor control amount for controlling the drive motor based on information detected by the sensor and an operator request value and a drive unit configured to operate the drive motor based on the motor control amount determined by the drive logic unit, and an integrated control method including the same.
