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, and 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.
- Required output power amount of fuel cell stack determined based on total required output power amount of battery and fuel cell stack
- Output power distribution ratio of fuel cell stack determined based on current state of charge (SOC) value of battery
