CONTROL APPARATUS, NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM, AND OPERATING METHOD FOR CONTROL APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18447946 titled 'CONTROL APPARATUS, NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM, AND OPERATING METHOD FOR CONTROL APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a control apparatus for a vehicle that runs on both a fuel cell and a battery as power sources. The apparatus is designed to increase the proportion of travel distance that can be covered by the battery when an overload on the fuel cell occurs.
- Memory stores information on travel amounts for fuel cell and battery
- Controller adjusts use of fuel cell or battery to increase battery travel distance when fuel cell overload occurs
- Aim is to maximize overall travel distance by optimizing use of power sources
---
- Potential Applications
- Electric vehicles
- Hybrid vehicles
- Problems Solved
- Overload on fuel cell
- Maximizing travel distance
- Optimizing use of power sources
- Benefits
- Increased overall travel distance
- Efficient use of power sources
- Improved reliability and performance of the vehicle
Original Abstract Submitted
A control apparatus includes a memory configured to store information indicating a first travel amount on a fuel cell and a second travel amount on a battery for a vehicle that runs on the fuel cell and the battery as power sources, and a controller configured to control use of the fuel cell or the battery to increase a proportion of the second travel amount in the first travel amount and the second travel amount overall when an event indicating an overload on the fuel cell occurs.
