FUEL CELL SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18505210 titled 'FUEL CELL SYSTEM
The fuel cell system includes an ECU that calculates an average value by averaging the instantaneous output values requested by the fuel cell system during the average calculation time interval.
- The ECU calculates the average value of the fuel cell system's output values.
- The average value is set to the output value of the fuel cell until the next predetermined cycle.
- The predetermined cycle is added to the average calculation time interval each time the average value is calculated.
- The system compensates for the difference between the instantaneous output value and the fuel cell output value by the battery discharge.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in automotive fuel cell systems to optimize performance and efficiency. - It can also be applied in stationary fuel cell systems for power generation in various industries.
Problems Solved: - Helps in maintaining a consistent and reliable output from the fuel cell system. - Improves overall efficiency by compensating for output variations.
Benefits: - Enhanced performance and efficiency of fuel cell systems. - Increased reliability and stability in power generation applications.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Optimized Fuel Cell System for Enhanced Performance" This technology can be utilized in automotive, industrial, and residential sectors for power generation and energy storage applications.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the ECU calculate the average value in the fuel cell system? - The ECU calculates the average value by averaging the instantaneous output values during the average calculation time interval. 2. What is the significance of compensating for the difference between the instantaneous output value and the fuel cell output value? - Compensating for this difference ensures a consistent and reliable output from the fuel cell system.
Original Abstract Submitted
The fuel cell system is provided with an ECU, and the ECU calculates an average value obtained by averaging the instantaneous output values sequentially requested by the fuel cell system in the average calculation time interval during which the fuel cell system operates, and calculates the average value. Each time the average value is calculated, the average value is sequentially set to the output value output by the fuel cell up to the next predetermined cycle, and each time the average value is calculated, the predetermined cycle is added to the average calculation time interval, and the fuel cell system The difference between the instantaneous output value and the output value of the fuel cell is compensated for by the output value due to the discharge of the battery.
