FUEL CELL VEHICLE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240174133 titled 'FUEL CELL VEHICLE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application for a fuel cell vehicle that includes a fuel cell stack connected to a direct current (dc) link, an energy storage device selectively connected to the dc link through a main relay, and a controller that determines whether starting of the fuel cell stack is allowed based on the voltage of the energy storage device and controls the starting of the fuel cell stack accordingly.
- Fuel cell vehicle with fuel cell stack connected to a dc link
- Energy storage device connected to dc link through main relay
