FUEL CELL SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240313245 titled 'FUEL CELL SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation:

The patent application describes a fuel cell system with a controller that determines the electric power output based on various factors, including continuous rated power, time rated power, and instantaneous upper limit power. The controller ensures that the output power does not exceed the final upper limit power by controlling the boost converter or fuel cell accordingly.

  • The controller sets a final upper limit electric power based on the continuous rated power, time rated power, and instantaneous upper limit power.
  • The boost converter or fuel cell output is controlled to not exceed the final upper limit electric power.
  • The system optimizes power output based on different power ratings to ensure efficient operation.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Controller determines electric power output based on continuous, time rated, and instantaneous upper limit power.
  • Final upper limit power is set to optimize power output efficiency.
  • Boost converter or fuel cell output is controlled to prevent exceeding the final upper limit power.

Potential Applications:

This technology can be applied in various fuel cell systems, including automotive, stationary power generation, and portable electronics.

Problems Solved:

This technology addresses the challenge of optimizing power output in fuel cell systems to ensure efficient operation and prevent power wastage.

Benefits:

  • Improved efficiency in power output.
  • Prevents power wastage.
  • Enhances overall performance of fuel cell systems.

Commercial Applications:

Optimized power output in fuel cell systems can benefit industries such as automotive, energy generation, and consumer electronics.

Questions about Fuel Cell System Controller:

1. How does the controller determine the final upper limit electric power? 2. What are the potential applications of this technology in the automotive industry?


Original Abstract Submitted

a fuel cell system includes a sensor. the controller decides a continuous rated electric power. the controller sets a time rated electric power as a final upper limit electric power when the time rated electric power is higher than the continuous rated electric power and is lower than an instantaneous upper limit electric power, and sets the instantaneous upper limit electric power as the final upper limit electric power when the time rated electric power is higher than the continuous rated electric power and is higher than the instantaneous upper limit electric power. when the time rated electric power is lower than the continuous rated electric power, the continuous rated electric power is set as the final upper limit electric power. the controller controls one of the boost converter and an fc such that the output of the boost converter does not exceed the final upper limit electric power.
