Patent ID: 10115987

Abstract:
A state detection device for fuel cell includes a supposed high-frequency impedance value setting unit configured to set a supposed high-frequency impedance value on the basis of an impedance measurement value belonging to an arc region of an impedance curve of the fuel cell, an actually measured high-frequency impedance value calculation unit configured to obtain an actually measured high-frequency impedance value on the basis of an impedance measurement value belonging to a non-arc region of the impedance curve of the fuel cell, and an ionomer resistance estimation unit configured to estimate a value obtained by subtracting the actually measured high-frequency impedance value from the supposed high-frequency impedance value as an ionomer resistance value. The supposed high-frequency impedance value setting unit sets a value of an intersection of an equivalent circuit impedance curve set on the basis of the impedance measurement value belonging to the arc region and a real ads as the supposed high-frequency impedance value.
