The fuel cell is a power generation device which directly converts chemical energy of fuel into electric energy, only generates electrochemical reaction, has no combustion process, and has the advantages of high efficiency, no pollution, long service life, high reliability and the like. The fuel cell directly converts chemical energy into electric energy, so that the efficiency of the fuel cell is far higher than that of an internal combustion engine, the fuel cell is green and environment-friendly energy, can be used as a substitute product of an automobile internal combustion engine, can also be applied to a small centralized power supply or distributed power supply system, and has great development potential and application prospect.
Among them, Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) use a polymer membrane as a solid electrolyte, have the characteristics of high energy conversion rate, low-temperature start, no electrolyte leakage, and the like, and are widely used in light vehicles, portable power sources, and small-sized driving devices.
Proton exchange membranes can conduct protons only in a water-wetted state, and the conductivity of the proton exchange membranes is reduced due to the excessively low water content, so that the ohmic voltage loss of the cell is increased, and the activity of the interface of a catalytic layer is reduced after the membranes lose water. Excessive liquid water in the battery can cause electrode flooding, can block oxygen transfer, reduce the utilization rate of the catalyst, block the normal operation of electrochemical reaction, reduce the performance of the battery, and the larger the power density is, the larger the potential influence is; excessive gaseous water dilutes the concentration of the reactant gas, resulting in insufficient reactant gas at the reaction interface. Therefore, in order to improve the performance and lifetime of proton exchange membrane cells, it is important to ensure a stable water content in the proton exchange membrane at all times.
Currently existing water management systems such as CN106450383 use a water level monitoring device to detect the membrane hydration state, and the membrane hydration state in the fuel cell obtained by the change of the water level or performance at the outlet of the fuel cell is poor in real-time performance, and delayed water management is performed.

(2) the signal processing module accurately judges the membrane hydration state in the galvanic pile by measuring ohmic impedance of the galvanic pile, gas pressure drop of the anode side and the humidity state in the galvanic pile; the signal processing module continuously corrects and calculates the humidity, temperature and pressure parameters of the reaction gas which can enable the galvanic pile to be in the optimal membrane hydration state by utilizing the judgment of the real-time membrane hydration state, and transmits a control signal to the water management module to adjust the humidity, temperature and pressure parameters of the reaction gas entering the galvanic pile so as to enable the membrane hydration state of the galvanic pile to be in the optimal working range.
10. The operating method of the stack dynamic water management system of the pem fuel cell as claimed in claim 9, wherein the signal processing module is adapted to adjust the parameters of the reactant gases to make the stack operate normally, continuously perform water drainage to prevent flooding, simultaneously perform real-time detection and determination of the hydration status of the membrane inside the stack, and control the hydration status of the membrane in an optimal interval by adjusting the parameters of the reactant gases entering the stack, so as to form a dynamic optimized closed-loop control.
