  • Patent number: 11862829
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for setting an operating strategy for a fuel cell system (2) of a power generation device (1), in particular in the form of a vehicle, depending on an operating mode of the power generation device (1), having the steps of: a determination unit (3) determining at least one current operating parameter (P1) of the power generation device (1), the determination unit (3) determining at least one cumulative and/or predictive operating parameter (P2, P3, P4) of the power generation device (1), and a setting device (8) setting the operating strategy for the fuel cell system (2) on the basis of the at least one current operating parameter (P1) and the at least one cumulative and/or predictive operating parameter (P2, P3, P4) of the power generation device (1). The invention furthermore relates to a corresponding circuit arrangement (10), to a computer program (20) and to a storage means with a computer program (20) stored thereon.

  • Patent number: 11804612
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a fuel cell system (100), having a fuel cell stack (20) with a plurality of fuel cells (110) each having at least one cathode portion (K) and at least one anode portion (A), a compressor (10) for conveying air into the cathode portions (K), a pressure-sustaining valve (40), and a control device (50), the at least one cathode portion (K) being arranged downstream of and in fluid communication with the compressor (10) and upstream of and in fluid communication with the pressure-sustaining valve (40), the fuel cell system (100) having a high-pressure region (HDB) between the compressor (10) and the pressure-sustaining valve (40). The invention further relates to a control device (50) and to a fuel cell system (100).

  • Patent number: 11346397
    Abstract: A method (100) for operating a gas bearing (1), wherein the gas bearing is formed by a rotor (11) and a stator (12), wherein when there is rotation against a stator (12) with a lift-off rotational speed nL the rotor (11) changes from mixed friction with the stator (12) into fluid friction with a medium (13) located between the stator (12) and the rotor (11), wherein the rotational speed of the rotor (11) is kept at or above an idling rotational speed nI, wherein—in response to a first information item (21), on the basis of which a change ?F is to be expected in the acceleration forces F acting on the gas bearing (1), a new value of a safety factor rN:=nI/nL between the idling rotational speed nI and the lift-off rotational speed nL is determined (110), and/or—in response to a second information item (31), on the basis of which a change ?nL is to be expected in the lift-off rotational speed nL, a new value nL,neu is determined for the lift-off rotational speed nL (120), wherein the idling rotational speed nI o
