Abstract

Existing research on fault diagnosis for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) has advanced significantly, yet performance is hindered by variations in data distributions and the requirement for extensive fault data. In this study, a cross-domain adaptive health diagnosis method for PEMFC is proposed, integrating the digital twin model and transfer convolutional diagnosis model. A physical-based high-fidelity digital twin model is developed to obtain diverse and high-quality datasets for training diagnosis method. To extract long-term time series features from the data, a temporal convolutional network (TCN) is proposed as a pre-trained diagnosis model for the source domain, with feature extraction layers that can be reused to the transfer learning network. It is demonstrated that the proposed pre-trained model can hold the ability to accurately diagnose the various fuel cell faults, including pressure, drying, flow, and flooding faults, with 99.92 % accuracy, through the effective capture of the long-term dependencies in time series data. Finally, a domain adaptive transfer convolutional network (DATCN) is established to improve the diagnosis accuracy across diverse fuel cells by learning domain-invariant features. The results show that the DATCN model, tested on three different target domain devices with adversarial training using only 10 % normal data, can achieve an average accuracy of 98.5 % (30 % improved over traditional diagnosis models). This proposed method provides an effective solution for accurate cross-domain diagnosis of PEMFC devices, significantly reducing the reliance on extensive fault data.
