Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle and Method of Controlling Same - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18178102 titled 'Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle and Method of Controlling Same

Simplified Explanation

The embodiment method of controlling a fuel cell electric vehicle involves determining the required output power amount of a fuel cell stack based on the total required output power amount of a battery and the fuel cell stack, as well as the output power distribution ratio of the fuel cell stack according to the current state of charge (SOC) value of the battery. The operation of the fuel cell stack is then controlled based on the required output power amount of the fuel cell stack.

  • Determining required output power amount of fuel cell stack based on total required output power amount of battery and fuel cell stack
  • Utilizing output power distribution ratio of fuel cell stack according to current state of charge (SOC) value of battery
  • Controlling operation of fuel cell stack based on required output power amount of fuel cell stack
