Unanswered Questions

How does the controller determine the compensation duty based on feedback control?

The abstract does not provide specific details on how the controller calculates the compensation duty based on feedback control.

What are the specific by-products collected in the hydrogen supplier and how are they discharged?

The abstract mentions the discharge of by-products collected in the hydrogen supplier, but does not specify the nature of these by-products or the discharge process.


Original Abstract Submitted

A hydrogen supply system for fuel cells and a method of controlling the same include a hydrogen supplier connected to a hydrogen provider and configured to receive hydrogen from the hydrogen provider through a supply valve, a supply line, a discharge line, a discharge valve provided on the hydrogen supplier to discharge by-products, collected in the hydrogen supplier, to the outside thereof, and a controller electrically connected to the supply valve and configured to set a basic duty of the supply valve based on a basic control map, to set a compensation duty of the supply valve depending on feedback control, and to set a final duty of the supply valve through the basic duty and the compensation duty.
