质子交换膜(PEM)电解槽在可持续制氢中至关重要,但其长期性能受膜降解影响,带来可靠性和安全性挑战。因此,准确建模降解过程对优化耐久性与性能至关重要。传统物理模型虽具可解释性,但需大量难以测量的参数;而数据驱动方法如机器学习灵活但缺乏物理一致性与泛化能力。本文首次将物理信息神经网络(PINNs)应用于 PEM 电解槽膜降解建模,构建耦合常微分方程的 PINN 框架:一个描述按一级降解律的膜变薄过程,另一个刻画电池电压随膜退化的时间演化。结果表明,该框架在仅有少量噪声数据条件下,仍能精确捕捉系统的长期退化动态,同时保持物理可解释性。本工作提出一种新型混合建模方法,为理解 PEM 电解槽膜降解机制提供新工具,助力更可靠的电化学系统诊断预测。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers are pivotal for sustainable hydrogen production, yet their long-term performance is hindered by membrane degradation, which poses reliability and safety challenges. Therefore, accurate modeling of this degradation is essential for optimizing durability and performance. To address these concerns, traditional physics-based models have been developed, offering interpretability but requiring numerous parameters that are often difficult to measure and calibrate. Conversely, data-driven approaches, such as machine learning, offer flexibility but may lack physical consistency and generalizability. To address these limitations, this study presents the first application of Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) to model membrane degradation in PEM electrolyzers. The proposed PINN framework couples two ordinary differential equations, one modeling membrane thinning via a first-order degradation law and another governing the time evolution of the cell voltage under membrane degradation. Results demonstrate that the PINN accurately captures the long-term system's degradation dynamics while preserving physical interpretability with limited noisy data. Consequently, this work introduces a novel hybrid modeling approach for estimating and understanding membrane degradation mechanisms in PEM electrolyzers, offering a foundation for more robust predictive tools in electrochemical system diagnostics.
