FUEL CELL SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240282990 titled 'FUEL CELL SYSTEM

The fuel cell system described in the patent application is equipped with an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) that calculates an average value by averaging the instantaneous output values requested by the fuel cell system during a specific time interval. This average value is then used to compensate for the difference between the instantaneous output value and the output value of the fuel cell system due to the discharge of the battery.

  • The ECU calculates an average value by averaging the instantaneous output values requested by the fuel cell system.
  • The average value is sequentially set to the output value of the fuel cell system up to the next predetermined cycle.
  • Each time the average value is calculated, the predetermined cycle is added to the average calculation time interval.
  • 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.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in fuel cell systems for various vehicles, including cars, buses, and trucks. - It can also be used in stationary fuel cell systems for power generation in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.

Problems Solved: - Helps in maintaining a consistent and stable output from the fuel cell system. - Compensates for fluctuations in the output value due to the discharge of the battery.

Benefits: - Improved efficiency and performance of fuel cell systems. - Enhanced reliability and longevity of the system. - Reduction in maintenance costs and downtime.

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Output Control System for Fuel Cell Systems" This technology can be commercially utilized in the automotive industry for electric vehicles, as well as in the renewable energy sector for power generation 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 requested by the fuel cell system during a specific time interval. 2. What is the significance of compensating for the difference between the instantaneous output value and the output value of the fuel cell system? - Compensating for this difference helps in maintaining a stable and consistent 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.
