Original Abstract Submitted
In an embodiment a regenerative braking control apparatus includes a fuel cell stack configured to provide energy to a driving motor of the vehicle, a cathode oxygen depletion (COD) heater configured to remove gas remaining in the fuel cell stack, a high voltage battery configured to supply power to the driving motor or to be charged by using power generated by the driving motor through regenerative braking and a processor configured to calculate a reference state-of-charge (SOC) based on an expected driving route, to calculate a limit power for the COD heater based on an operating state of a cooling device for cooling the COD heater when a SOC of the high voltage battery is greater than or equal to the reference SOC and to calculate consumable power of the COD heater based on the limit power of the COD heater.
