    摘要: A current limiting method of a fuel cell stack is capable of preventing current of the fuel cell stack from rapidly dropping to prevent jerking or shock from occurring while a vehicle travels. The method includes: determining whether performance deterioration of a unit cell of the fuel cell stack has occurred, employing a feed forward control type current limiting logic of the fuel cell stack before an output of the fuel cell vehicle is lowered, decreasing the current of the fuel cell stack to a predetermined level by the feed forward control type current limiting logic, and gradually restoring the current of the fuel cell stack to a maximum current usage value from a point in time when the current of a load is used.

    摘要: A method of controlling voltage of a fuel cell includes steps of: determining whether a mode is a high-voltage avoidance mode of the fuel cell; controlling a fuel cell stack voltage to be at a predetermined reference value or less when the mode is the high-voltage avoidance mode of the fuel cell; monitoring individual cell voltages of the fuel cell and determining whether a maximum value of the monitored individual cell voltages exceeds a predetermined individual value; reducing a reference value of the fuel cell stack voltage when the maximum value of the monitored individual cell voltages exceed the predetermined individual value; and controlling the fuel cell stack voltage at the reduced reference value or less. The method and system for controlling fuel cell voltage is provided to secure durability and performance of individual cells of a fuel cell stack.
