    摘要: A method of controlling a fuel cell includes collecting, by a control unit, environmental information and state information of a fuel cell stack; determining, by the control unit, a motor output offset value from the collected environmental information and the collected state information of the fuel cell stack; correcting, by the control unit, a default critical output corresponding to a current vehicle operating state based on the determined motor output offset value; determining, by the control unit, the stop or the restart of the fuel cell by comparing a motor output demand determined from current vehicle operating information with the corrected critical output; and controlling, by the control unit, an operating state of the fuel cell to become a state of the determined stop or restart.

    摘要: A device for controlling compensation for an air flow rate upon discharge of hydrogen off-gas and a method for controlling compensation for an air flow rate using the same is an air flow rate control device configured to control a flow rate of air supplied to a fuel cell cathode through an air supply unit of a fuel cell system, wherein the air flow rate control device is configured to determine whether a fuel discharge valve of the fuel cell system is opened and determine a fuel diffusion amount per unit time, wherein the fuel diffusion amount corresponds to an amount of the hydrogen off-gas discharged through the fuel discharge valve and diffused into an air supply unit through a humidifier, and compensate a target air flow rate depending on an oxygen concentration reduction proportion, determined according to the determined fuel diffusion amount per unit time and flow rate information of the air supply unit.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a method of recovering performance of a fuel cell stack in a fuel cell system of a vehicle. The method includes determining whether the fuel cell stack is in a state in which a stack performance recovery operation is possible based on information collected from the vehicle using a predetermined stack state determination criterion, determining whether the vehicle is in a state in which the stack performance recovery operation is possible based on operation information of a fuel cell system, and performing the stack performance recovery operation upon determining that the fuel cell stack is in the state in which the stack performance recovery operation is possible and that the vehicle is in the state in which the stack performance recovery operation is possible.
