项目摘要

CAREER: Fuel Cell Degradation Diagnostics and ControlPI: Steven ShawThis CAREER proposal focuses on developing an understanding of connections between fuel cell degradation and transient electrical loads, including controls that might mitigate degradation in realistic electrical environments. The project will build and validate physical models to predict degradation from the electrical terminals of an operating fuel cell, using an extensive database of proton exchange membrane transient degradation at Montana State University. Using these diagnostics, the research will develop controls for fuel cell systems to achieve acceptable trade-offs between cell degradation and measures of system performance.Intellectual Merit: Fuel cell reliability is generally considered a materials problem, even though the electrical terminals of a fuel cell directly control the chemistry supported by the materials. This project would develop controls and diagnostics at the electrical terminals to help mitigate fuel cell degradation. Broader Impacts: New control schemes developed through this project could enhance the extent to which fuel cells help solve future energy challenges. This project would begin to address the challenge of innovating across traditional engineering disciplines by creating a cross-disciplinary laboratory for the required undergraduate controls class in electrical engineering. Hands-on opportunities in the new lab would enhance student understanding, allow research projects to be more accessible to undergraduates, and prepare students to solve future practical problems.

职业：燃料电池退化诊断和控制PI：Steven ShawThis CAREER提案侧重于了解燃料电池退化和瞬态电气负载之间的联系，包括可能减轻现实电气环境中退化的控制。该项目将利用蒙大拿州立大学的质子交换膜瞬时退化的广泛数据库，建立和验证物理模型，以预测运行中的燃料电池电气终端的退化。使用这些诊断，研究将开发燃料电池系统的控制，以实现可接受的电池退化和系统performance.Intellectual优点的措施之间的权衡：燃料电池的可靠性通常被认为是一个材料的问题，即使燃料电池的电气终端直接控制由材料支持的化学。该项目将开发电气终端的控制和诊断，以帮助减轻燃料电池的退化。更广泛的影响：通过该项目开发的新控制方案可以提高燃料电池帮助解决未来能源挑战的程度。该项目将开始通过为电气工程所需的本科控制课程创建一个跨学科实验室来解决跨传统工程学科创新的挑战。在新实验室的动手机会将提高学生的理解，让研究项目更容易接触到本科生，并准备学生解决未来的实际问题。
