FUEL CELL VEHICLE AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18139986 titled 'FUEL CELL VEHICLE AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF
The abstract of the patent application describes a fuel cell vehicle with a controller that manages the output of the fuel cell based on the load demanded and the conditions of the battery.
- The fuel cell vehicle includes a fuel cell, a battery, and a controller.
- The controller determines the load demanded output value and checks for overcharge and over-discharge conditions of the battery.
- It also evaluates the output efficiency of the fuel cell to decide if a constant output is feasible.
- The controller adjusts the output of the fuel cell based on these determinations.

Original Abstract Submitted
A fuel cell vehicle includes: a fuel cell; a battery; and a controller that determines a load demanded output value. In particular, the controller determines whether a first condition related to overcharge of the battery and a second condition related to over-discharge of the battery are satisfied based on the load demanded output value, and further determines whether a constant output is operable based on an output efficiency of the fuel cell when the first and second conditions are satisfied. The controller controls an output of the fuel cell according to a result of the determination.
