发明名称 METHODS FOR PREDICTING THE FUTURE PERFORMANCE OF FUEL CELL STACKS AND INDIVIDUAL FUEL CELLS
摘要 Method embodiments for analyzing the future performance of a fuel cell stack comprise the steps of: a) generating a first polarization curve data by experimentally measuring the voltage of a fuel cell stack across a current range at a first interval; b) dividing the current range into a plurality of discrete current ranges; c) calculate an average voltage value for each discrete current range; d) fitting all average voltage values to produce a first average polarization curve; e) conducting steps a) through d) at a second interval to produce a second average polarization curve; f) comparing the first average polarization curve to the second polarization curve to calculate the drop in voltage and thereby the fuel cell stack degradation; and g) utilizing the calculated drop in voltage between the first and second polarization curves to predict the polarization of the fuel cells at future time intervals.
