有鉴于此,为了确保燃料电池110在正常的电压与温度下运作,燃料电池稳定装置100还包含第一条件判断模块230、直流电流侦测器155以及第一电流判断模块235。本实施例中,第一条件判断模块230用以在燃料电池110所产生的直流电的电压高于燃料电池110的保护电压时或在重新启动直流电压转换器120之后,判断燃料电池110所产生的直流电的电压以及燃料电池110的温度是否满足第一预定条件,其中第一预定条件为燃料电池110所产生的直流电的电压大于第一预定电压,并且燃料电池110的温度低于预定温度,其中预定温度是根据燃料电池110的特性所设定的温度。另外,第一预定电压应设定为大于燃料电池110的保护电压。如此,意味着燃料电池110的温度低时,电压较低,则不适合抽过大的电流,否则燃料电池110会崩溃。

In order to prevent the current of the direct current generated by the
另一方面,燃料电池110温度高时,电压会较高,因此电流多抽一点时,燃料电池110所下降的电压不会超过崩溃之保护点。因此,燃料电池稳定装置100还可包含第二条件判断模块245以及第二电流判断模块250。本实施例中,第二条件判断模块245用以在燃料电池110所产生的直流电的电压以及燃料电池110的温度未满足上述的第一预定条件时,判断燃料电池110所产生的直流电的电压以及燃料电池110的温度是否满足第二预定条件,其中第二预定条件为燃料电池110所产生的直流电的电压高于第二预定电压,并且燃料电池110的温度高于上述的预定温度,其中第二预定电压应设定为小于上述的第一预定电压并大于燃料电池110的保护电压。

In order to prevent the current of the direct current generated by the
为了使燃料电池100在最佳功率输出状态下运作,燃料电池稳定装置100还包含缓冲计时模块255。本实施例中,缓冲计时模块255用以在燃料电池110所产生的直流电的电流低于燃料电池110的额定电流时,根据燃料电池110的特性,计算一段缓冲时间,其中此缓冲时间可视实际系统状态作调整。输出电流调整模块255可经过此缓冲时间之后,调整直流电压转换器120的输出电力的电流。借此,间接地改变燃料电池的直流电的电压,使燃料电池在最佳功率输出状态下运作。

然而,一般来说,燃料电池的状态不甚稳定。因此,必须追踪燃料电池的状态,继续控制直流电压转换器。有鉴于此,以下将搭配图3来更具体说明此燃料电池稳定方法的实施方式。 However, in general, the state of a fuel cell is not very stable. Therefore, it is necessary to keep track of the state of the fuel cell and continue to control the DC voltage converter. In view of this, the implementation of the fuel cell stabilizing method will be described in more detail below with reference to FIG. 3 . the
请参照图3,在步骤304,判断此直流电的电压是否超过此燃料电池的保护电压。接着,在步骤306,在此直流电的电压低于燃料电池的保护电压时,关闭此直流电压转换器。借此,避免燃料电池所产生的直流电的电压在超过其所能负荷的状态下,而造成燃料电池本身的损坏。 Please refer to FIG. 3 , in step 304 , it is determined whether the voltage of the direct current exceeds the protection voltage of the fuel cell. Next, in step 306, when the voltage of the direct current is lower than the protection voltage of the fuel cell, the direct current voltage converter is turned off. In this way, it is avoided that the voltage of the direct current generated by the fuel cell exceeds its capacity to cause damage to the fuel cell itself. the
接着,在步骤308,在此直流电的电压超过此保护电压时,计算一段保护时间,并判断是否超过此保护时间。在此保护时间内,此燃料电池所产生的直流电的电压应下降到低于上述的保护电压。在此保护时间过后,在步骤310,重新启动此直流电压转换器,此直流电压转换器将此燃料电池所产生的直流电转换为输出电力。 Next, in step 308, when the voltage of the direct current exceeds the protection voltage, a protection time is calculated, and it is judged whether the protection time is exceeded. During this protection time, the voltage of the direct current generated by the fuel cell should drop below the above protection voltage. After the protection time expires, in step 310, restart the DC voltage converter, which converts the DC power generated by the fuel cell into output power. the
应了解到,根据燃料电池的特性,燃料电池所产生的直流电的电压与燃料电池的温度有关。因此,于步骤310中重新启动直流电压转换器之后,或是于步骤304中判断出此直流电的电压超过此燃料电池的保护电压之后。为了确保此燃料电池在正常的电压与温度下运作。在步骤312,侦测此燃料电池的温度,并判断此直流电的电压以及此燃料电池的温度是否满足第一预定条件,其中此第一预定条件为此直流电的电压高于第一预定电压,且此燃料电池的温度低于预定温度,其中此预定温度是根据燃料电池的特性所设定的温度。另外,此第一预定电压应设定为高于此燃料电池的保护电压。如此,意味着燃料电池110的温度低时,电压较低,则不适合抽过大的电流,否则燃料电池110会崩溃。
It should be understood that, according to the characteristics of the fuel cell, the voltage of the direct current generated by the fuel cell is related to the temperature of the fuel cell. Therefore, after the DC voltage converter is restarted in step 310, or after it is determined in step 304 that the voltage of the DC power exceeds the protection voltage of the fuel cell. In order to ensure that the fuel cell operates under normal voltage and temperature. In step 312, detect the temperature of the fuel cell, and determine whether the voltage of the direct current and the temperature of the fuel cell meet a first predetermined condition, wherein the first predetermined condition is that the voltage of the direct current is higher than the first predetermined voltage, and The temperature of the fuel cell is lower than a predetermined temperature, wherein the predetermined temperature is set according to the characteristics of the fuel cell. In addition, the first predetermined voltage should be set higher than the protection voltage of the fuel cell. This means that when the temperature of the
另外,为了防止此燃料电池所产生的直流电的电流过大,接着,在步骤 314,侦测此直流电的电流,并判断此直流电的电流是否超过此燃料电池的额定电流。 In addition, in order to prevent the current of the direct current generated by the fuel cell from being too large, then, in step 314, the current of the direct current is detected, and it is judged whether the current of the direct current exceeds the rated current of the fuel cell. the
另一方面,若在步骤312中判断出此直流电的电压以及此燃料电池的温度未满足此第一预定条件时,为了进一步确定此燃料电池的电压与温度正常与否,在步骤320,判断此直流电的电压以及此燃料电池的温度是否满足第二预定条件,其中此第二预定条件为此直流电的电压高于第二预定电压,且此燃料电池的温度高于上述的预定温度,其中此第二预定电压应设定为小于上述的第一预定电压并高于此保护电压。如此,意味着燃料电池110温度高时,电压会较高,因此电流多抽一点时,燃料电池110所下降的电压不会超过崩溃的保护点。
On the other hand, if it is judged in step 312 that the voltage of the direct current and the temperature of the fuel cell do not meet the first predetermined condition, in order to further determine whether the voltage and temperature of the fuel cell are normal or not, in step 320, it is judged that the Whether the voltage of the direct current and the temperature of the fuel cell meet the second predetermined condition, wherein the second predetermined condition is that the voltage of the direct current is higher than the second predetermined voltage, and the temperature of the fuel cell is higher than the above predetermined temperature, wherein the first The second predetermined voltage should be set to be lower than the above-mentioned first predetermined voltage and higher than the protection voltage. In this way, it means that when the temperature of the
另外,为了防止此燃料电池所产生的直流电的电流过大,接着,在步骤314,侦测此直流电的电流,并判断此直流电的电流是否超过此燃料电池的额定电流。 In addition, in order to prevent the current of the direct current generated by the fuel cell from being too large, then, in step 314, the current of the direct current is detected, and it is determined whether the current of the direct current exceeds the rated current of the fuel cell. the
若在步骤314中侦测出此直流电的电流低于此燃料电池的额定电流时。接着,在步骤316,根据燃料电池的特性,计算一段缓冲时间,并判断是否超过此缓冲时间,其中此缓冲时间可视实际系统状态作调整。在此缓冲时间过后,在步骤318,调整此直流电压转换器的输出电力的电流。借此,间接地改变燃料电池的直流电的电压,使燃料电池在最佳功率输出状态下运作。
If it is detected in step 314 that the current of the direct current is lower than the rated current of the fuel cell. Next, in step 316, a buffer time is calculated according to the characteristics of the fuel cell, and it is judged whether the buffer time is exceeded, wherein the buffer time can be adjusted according to the actual system status. After the buffer time elapses, in
另外,为了测量此直流电压转换器的输出功率,燃料电池稳定方法还可包含:侦测此输出电力的电压与电流。借此,可根据直流电压转换器的输出电力的电压与电流,计算出直流电压转换器的输出功率。 In addition, in order to measure the output power of the DC voltage converter, the fuel cell stabilizing method may further include: detecting the voltage and current of the output power. Thereby, the output power of the DC voltage converter can be calculated according to the voltage and current of the output power of the DC voltage converter. the
另外,为了避免此直流电压转换器被关闭时,没有电力供应给负载。燃料电池稳定方法还可包含:将一部分的此输出电力储存为电能。若此直流电压转换器被关闭时,可将此电能供应给负载。在实际应用中,可使用储能组件储存此电能,其中此储能组件可为电池、电容或其它可储存电能的组件。 In addition, in order to avoid that the DC voltage converter is turned off, no power is supplied to the load. The fuel cell stabilization method may further include storing a portion of the output power as electrical energy. If the DC voltage converter is turned off, the electric energy can be supplied to the load. In practical application, the energy storage component can be used to store the electric energy, wherein the energy storage component can be a battery, a capacitor or other components capable of storing electric energy. the
另外,在本实施例中,燃料电池稳定方法还可包含:提供燃料、水以及空气给此燃料电池,并控制燃料、水以及空气的循环以及补给。借此,此燃料电池以电化学的反应方式,将燃料中的氢气以及空气中的氧气结合成水,让化学能直接转变为电能。 In addition, in this embodiment, the method for stabilizing the fuel cell may further include: providing fuel, water and air to the fuel cell, and controlling circulation and replenishment of the fuel, water and air. In this way, the fuel cell combines the hydrogen in the fuel and the oxygen in the air into water through an electrochemical reaction, allowing the chemical energy to be directly converted into electrical energy. the
