Impedance measurements by EIS are used to build a physical circuit-based model that enables various fault diagnostics and lifetime predictions. These research areas are becoming increasingly crucial for the safety and preventive maintenance of fuel cell power systems. It is challenging to apply the impedance measurement up to commercial applications at the field level. Although EIS technology has been widely used to measure and analyze the characteristics of fuel cells, EIS is applicable mainly at the single-cell level. In the case of stacks constituting a power generation system in the field, it is difficult to apply EIS due to various limitations in the high-power condition with uncontrollable loads. In this paper, we present a technology that can measure EIS on-line by injecting the perturbation current to fuel cell systems operating in the field. The proposed EIS method is developed based on Simulink Real-Time so that it can be applied to embedded devices. Modeling and simulation of the proposed method are presented, and the procedures from the simulation in virtual space to the real-time application to physical systems are described in detail. Finally, actual usefulness is shown through experiments using two physical systems, an impedance hardware simulator and a fuel cell stack with practical considerations.

In order to realizing real-time on-line oil monitoring for high-power gearbox’s wear state during operation, a monitoring system is developed on the basis of the ferrograph sensors in this paper. By means of a multi-level monitoring system, a real-time remote monitoring and analysis system of unattended machine wear condition is achieved which can real-time display the image of the wear particles and the wear information of the gears, thus getting such advantages as timely notice and warning, reducing equipment’s damage and maintenance costs . The initial application of system on the real machine shows good results and effects.

Anode recirculation is essential to the pure-hydrogen proton exchange membrane fuel cell system. Keeping the pressure difference between the anode and the cathode is also important to the membrane health. In this paper, a dynamic platform was designed for the recirculation test of injection pump and real-time control of the anode pressure tracking. The test bench can work in a wide range of conditions for high- and low-pressure application. Based on the MATLAB/xPC Target environment, some S functions were written to drive the PC board for the hardware-in-loop application. Then an analytical full-order and a reduced-order model were built with good accuracy. By linearization of the nonlinear dynamic model, a linear quadratic Gaussian algorithm based on state feedback was used for set-point tracking. Moreover, an adaptive fuzzy neural network with an on-line neural network identifier was also designed to improve the control robustness. The foundation of the test bench and realization of the real-time control algorithms are meaningful to the future application in fuel cell systems.
