    摘要: Disclosed herein is a method of detecting defects of a fuel cell membrane-electrode assembly which comprises a gas diffusion layer, a catalyst layer and an electrolyte membrane. The method includes steps of: supplying gas to a first side of the membrane-electrode assembly; deducing a pressure of the supplied gas and a permeation rate of the gas permeating to a second side of the membrane-electrode assembly and then deducing an interface pressure between the electrolyte membrane and the gas diffusion layer of the membrane-electrode assembly using the deduced pressure of the supplied gas and the permeation rate; calculating a gas permeability of the electrolyte membrane using the deduced values of the pressure of the supplied gas and the permeation rate and a predetermined outlet pressure at the second side of the membrane-electrode assembly; and determining a defect state of the electrolyte membrane using a variation in the calculated gas permeability according to a change in the pressure of the supplied gas.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method and a device configured to control deterioration avoidance operation of a fuel cell system. In one aspect, the method may include starting the deterioration avoidance operation when an operation of a fuel cell is restarted in a state where an energy storage device is operating, and the fuel cell is stopped; controlling anode hydrogen pressure based on a predetermined condition, the condition indicating that the anode hydrogen pressure needs to be increased; determining hydrogen recirculation and supplying hydrogen including a process to determine whether to recirculate hydrogen based on a predetermined condition, the condition indicating that hydrogen needs to be recirculated, before supplying hydrogen; determining air recirculation and supplying air including a process to determine whether to recirculate air based on a predetermined condition, the condition indicating that air needs to be recirculated, before supplying air; and terminating the deterioration avoidance operation and starting operation of the fuel cell.
