HYDROGEN SUPPLY SYSTEM FOR FUEL CELLS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18135454 titled 'HYDROGEN SUPPLY SYSTEM FOR FUEL CELLS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a hydrogen supply system for fuel cells and a method of controlling the same, including a hydrogen supplier connected to a hydrogen provider, a supply valve, supply line, discharge line, discharge valve, and a controller.

  • Hydrogen supply system for fuel cells and method of controlling the same:
   * Includes a hydrogen supplier connected to a hydrogen provider
   * Utilizes a supply valve, supply line, discharge line, discharge valve, and a controller
   * Controller sets basic duty of the supply valve based on a basic control map
   * Controller sets compensation duty of the supply valve depending on feedback control
   * Controller sets final duty of the supply valve through the basic duty and compensation duty

Potential Applications
