  2. Presentation outline • Context of the work • Improvement of the availability of an hydrogen station • Development of tools dedicated to the predictive maintenance • PEM electrolyser modelling • Electric and thermal models • Parameters estimation • Identification using IO data • Monitoring and diagnosis • Fault detection and isolation • Conclusions and Perspectives

  3. Introduction • Supervision of H2 production stations for • improving the process quality and availability (competitiveness) • ensuring the environment safety (people, equipment, building…) • On-line monitoring and diagnosis scheme • Acquire data from sensors, actuators • Compare the process behavior with those of system models • Detect and isolate faults using FDI (Fault Detection and Isolation) algorithms • In this work, limited to the electrolyser, we propose to • Elaborate a PEM electrolyser dynamical model dedicated to basic monitoring and diagnosis tasks • Estimate the real model parameters through identification approach (by using data acquired from the real system) • Build residuals for achieving a first-level diagnosis

  14. Experiments (1/2) • Healthy case vs Actuator fault • An offset on the actuator current occurs Current actuator value is deviated by a fault equal to 0.3 A Healthy case Signature Signature

  15. Experiments (2/2) • Electrolyser faults Membrane resistor deviation equals to 10% h thermal parameter deviated by a value equals to (10) Signature Signature

  16. Conclusions • This work is a first attempt to supervise on-line an PEM electrolyser and need to be improved • The main difficulties are • the variety of physical phenomena to be modelled • the highly non linear behaviors • It is necessary to combine different modelling approaches • analytical analysis of the process • parameters estimation through experimental modelling • Fault detection and isolation • Residuals designed according the electrical or thermal behavior • Detection performance bounded by the quality of the modelling • Several residuals need to be defined in order to isolate faulty components

  17. The next steps • Improve the modelling by using a multi-modelling representation • different discrete states, different functioning points • Improve the monitoring approach by: • Adaptive thresholding for fault detection defined according the variance of the parameter estimations • Analysis of fault detectors (residuals) sensitivity for several parameters. • Introduce the prediction of faults that could lead to risks • based on the trend analysis of the residuals and not only on their signatures • requirement of a dynamical decision space
