- In integrated hydrogen energy utilization systems, due to the low efficiency of hydrogen/electricity conversion, coordination of energy management and efficient waste heat recovery is required to optimize performance. To address this challenge, this paper presents a comprehensive and sophisticated modeling and energy management strategy to enhance the off-grid energy utilization rate while prolonging the main components' lifetime. The developed model incorporates multiphase flow and heat transport balance for electricity and heat production, enabling a highly accurate representation of real-world behaviors of the system. The proposed off-grid operation strategy is complemented by a designed heat recovery scheme, ensuring the use of energy resources and waste heat. In addition, the proposed energy management strategy monitors the real-time status of each subsystem, actively reducing the number of harmful start-stop cycles of the hydrogen production system, thereby mitigating short-term power impacts and delaying its aging. Specifically, the voltage degradation of the reduction cell is reduced from 4.67 mV to 4.48 mV, the energy utilization rate is increased from 47.6 % to 53.9 %, and the energy efficiency of fuel cells significantly increases from 53.6 % to 78.1 %.

- A prognostics and health management (PHM) system with prediction at its core optimizes the durability of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). However, the aging behavior model has some uncertainty due to limited knowledge, affecting the predictive performance in remaining useful life (RUL) prediction. To address this issue, an RUL prediction method based on the Bayesian framework considering uncertainty quantification on the full-time scale is proposed. Firstly, the state of health (SOH) of the PEMFC is estimated, and the behavior of uncertainty is quantified. Afterwards, a long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network is employed to make a prediction for its behavior. Finally, the RUL of PEMFC is predicted based on historical SOH and the predicted behavior of uncertainty. Validation indicates that the proposed method can make a long-term prediction and provide RUL prediction with high accuracy. Under the dynamic operating condition, in terms of long-term prediction, compared to unscented Kalman filter, adaptive unscented Kalman filter, double-input-echo-state-network and bidirectional LSTM, the proposed method decreases the error by 88.12%, 41.99%, 13.82% and 3.21%, respectively. And under the dynamic operating condition, the proposed method shows good stability. Moreover, the robustness of this method has also been verified.

- The typical Integrated Hydrogen Energy Utilization System (IHEUS) does not recycle oxygen. For maximizing the system's efficiency, this study proposes a method for recycling byproduct oxygen in a Fuel Cell (FC) hybrid cathode intake structure and its control. By introducing the pure oxygen produced as a byproduct of hydrogen production into the FC, a hybrid cathode intake structure is formed with the air branch. To control this structure, models of the oxygen and air branch, and the FC stack are established. Subsequently, using BiLSTM network to learn historical data and extract relevant features, the output power demand of the FC system is predicted. Based on the prediction results, the required gas flow is calculated, and a fuzzy PID control strategy is employed to adjust the opening of the solenoid valve to change the gas flow to meet the demand. Finally, comparative studies show that our FC system, operating in a pure oxygen state, outperforms conventional air intake design: heat production increases by 13 %, electric efficiency improves by 20 %, and pure water savings reach 65.57 %. The air compressor witnesses a substantial 37.63 % reduction in power consumption, contributing to an overall energy efficiency increase of 8.92 % for the IHEUS.

- In an integrated hydrogen energy utilization system, the hydrogen storage device needs to meet hydrogen supplies and demands of different pressure levels, traditional hydrogen storage systems will lead to more energy consumption and lower hydrogen supply efficiency. To address this problem, a cascade hydrogen storage system (CHSS) is proposed in this study. By configuring three hydrogen storage tanks (HSTs) with three pressure levels, the CHSS is capable of serving hydrogen for fuel cell supply, long-term storage, and refueling stations. The corresponding control strategy of hydrogen flow between HSTs is proposed. It shows that an optimal capacity configuration scheme with pressures of 3 MPa, 24.44 MPa, and 45 MPa and a hydrogen storage capacity of 401.7 kg, optimized by NSGA-II, can meet the stable operation of the system. Comparative studies show that the proposed CHSS configuration can reduce the cost by about 3.78 %, the energy consumption by about 6.92 %, and the hydrogen supply loss rate by about 12 % compared to the existing solutions under the tested conditions.
