I failed a course, and the system became my study supervisor.

Chapter 80 Establishing an ABS Project Team
However, forming a research team is not something that can be done overnight.

Many experts and professors are still tied up in their original projects.

While the school was making personnel adjustments, Xu Ling had already come up with a general idea for the research.

It's nothing more than theory - simulation - experiment.

However, the school did not have the latest version of simulation tools like PEME, so Xu Ling had to build one to improve efficiency and reduce costs.

But Xu Ling did not plan to make a PEME, but to directly make an ABS-specific simulator - ABSE.

This is definitely not a fantasy.

The design concept and general algorithm of PEME are known. At the same time, the supercapacitor simulator - SCE has also been available for a long time, and Xu Ling also learned from Shanghai Energy some time ago.

It can be said that the modeling of each part can be completed.

The only thing that may be difficult is the organic combination of the three parts.

Once the simulator is built, all problems will be solved, whether it is low temperature, high humidity, or other extreme conditions.

Of course, theoretical analysis is also necessary.

Taking PEMFC as an example, combined with Xu Ling’s own research at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, the optimal operating temperature of PEMFC is around 70°C.

The low temperatures in extreme environments that Zheng Lifeng mentioned are conservatively estimated to be minus 30 to 40 degrees Celsius.

How can PEMFC operate normally at such low temperatures? Xu Ling believes there are two approaches.

The first is to lower the optimal operating temperature of PEMFC, which requires starting from the basic structure of PEMFC itself.

Second, external heating methods should be sought, as is done with lithium-ion batteries, but electromagnetic induction technology may no longer be applicable due to their distinct internal structures.

Xu Ling had no idea which of these two ideas was better or which one would work. Everything had to start with the establishment of the research team.

……

What surprised Xu Ling was that the establishment of the ABS research group seemed somewhat grand. Zhou Chengkang even held a special opening ceremony for the occasion.

Not only Zhou Chengkang himself attended, but also the dean of the School of Chemistry and the vice dean of the School of Computer Science.

What made Xu Ling feel most flattered was that Zhou Chengkang specially held an appointment ceremony for Xu Ling, issued a customized certificate, and asked him to speak a few words in a formal manner.

Looking at the many experts, professors, and senior students in the audience, Xu Ling felt a little dizzy.

The audience is full of bigwigs. Is it really appropriate for me to give a speech?

But Zhou Chengkang completely ignored Xu Ling's tearful expression, helped Xu Ling turn on the microphone in front of him, and walked off the stage.

Unable to shirk responsibility, Xu Ling had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak:

“Dear teachers, professors, senior students, I am honored to speak at this extremely important moment.

……

I don't feel proud of the Dean's appreciation for me, because everyone in the audience has achieved more than me. I just had a flash of inspiration in a certain area and had some different insights.

……

Finally, I wish our ABS research group to achieve breakthrough results as soon as possible.

thank you all! "

Although I was nervous, the content of my speech was still standard and there were no mistakes.

After Xu Ling finished speaking, Zhou Chengkang announced the laboratory location arrangements and personnel dispatch.

The laboratory was located in an experimental building of the School of Chemistry, where battery-related research was already being conducted.

The research team is of course composed of three colleges.

Each college sent out two teachers and a dozen students.

The School of Physics was led by Zhou Chengkang himself, which clearly shows how much he values ​​the ABS project.

Soon, the opening ceremony ended, but at the same time, Xu Ling heard the heavenly sound from the system.

"Ding!"

"The host has become a core member of the ABS research team. Congratulations to the host for achieving the achievement - becoming the core of the team!"

"Reward: 500 points for study and 500 points for motivation!"

After achieving the achievement and getting the motivational points, Xu Ling was no longer as jumpy as before. The first thing he did was to check his panel.

Mathematics - Level 1 (950/1000) (+)
b.Physical——lv.1 (300/1000)(+)
c. Chemistry——lv.1 (50/1000)(+)
d. Biology and Medicine——lv.0 (20/100)(+)
e. Informatics lv.0 (20/100)(+)
f. Engineering lv.0 (0/100)(+)
g. Linguistics lv.1 (20/1000)(+)】Mathematics is only 50 experience points away!

What are you waiting for!
Xu Ling decisively added fifty motivation points. Then, with a flash of golden light, Mathematics reached level 2!

Remaining points:

500 points for diligence and 450 points for motivation.

……

October 10th was a commemorative day, as the ABS research group officially moved into the laboratory.

"Xu Ling, do you have any research ideas?"

Zhou Chengkang asked.

Without hesitation, Xu Ling said:
"We will first conduct modeling work for each component. For PEMFC and supercapacitors, we can directly draw on the research results of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Jinling University.

I have experience with lithium batteries and can make them."

“How will the personnel be allocated?”

Zhou Chengkang seemed to be guiding Xu Ling.

"It's very simple. Divide into three research groups, and each college is divided into three parts to join different research groups."

Xu Ling blurted out.

"Yes, if necessary, we can make separate adjustments later."

Zhou Chengkang added.

Xu Ling would naturally join the lithium battery research team, while Zhou Chengkang would not join any of the teams; he would be primarily responsible for overall planning.

……

Xu Ling adopted the same approach as the Shanghai Energy Research Group in building the lithium battery model, but he didn't rush to incorporate electromagnetic induction into the model.

Because Xu Ling was not sure whether it could be adapted to the entire system.

With the support of Mathematics Level 2 and the chemistry knowledge he had cram schooled for a period of time before starting the project, Xu Ling felt extremely familiar with the equations in the electrochemistry module again.

The mass conservation equation:

Cs/t=Ds[Cs/r+2/r(Cs/r)]
The boundary conditions are:
When r=0, Cs/r=0;

When r=Rs, -DsCs/r=j
Electrochemical reaction equation:
……

With Xu Ling's support and the help of several senior students from the School of Computer Science who have strong coding skills, the lithium battery team made rapid progress.

In just one week, the modeling was initially completed and entered the stage of experimental verification.

But the other two groups, especially the PEMFC group, made slow progress.

This is largely because the paper from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology omitted some key steps and was not in line with the current goals.

"where is the problem?"

Xu Ling found the head of the PEMFC group.

“PEME is mainly built using the geometric structure and current-voltage parameters of PEMFC.

Our goal is to explore the effects of temperature and humidity, so our research approach is different."

The person in charge pointed out the problem succinctly.

Hmm? It seems to be true.

Xu Ling had never adjusted temperature-related parameters when using PEME before. They were all system-set values.

But this does not pose a problem for Xu Ling. The Shanghai Energy Research Group had previously used the HIL method when integrating models with different parameters.

HIL is a simulation system management application that can connect different simulation modules together.

Therefore, when designing a PEMFC module, one can first design a PEME based on the original parameters, and then design an auxiliary module based on the thermal system parameters.

Finally, the HIL method is used to combine them.

After listening to Xu Ling's explanation, the person in charge was immediately full of admiration for Xu Ling.

Xu Ling didn't feel complacent at all, as it wasn't his original creation.
