APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING REGENERATION OF FUEL CELL VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240190254 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING REGENERATION OF FUEL CELL VEHICLE
The patent application describes a regenerative braking control apparatus for a vehicle, which includes a fuel cell stack, a cathode oxygen depletion (COD) heater, a high voltage battery, and a processor.
- Fuel cell stack provides energy to the driving motor of the vehicle.
- COD heater removes gas remaining in the fuel cell stack.
- High voltage battery supplies power to the driving motor or can be charged using power generated by regenerative braking.
- Processor calculates reference state-of-charge (SOC) based on expected driving route, limit power for the COD heater based on cooling device's operating state, and consumable power of the COD heater.
Potential Applications: - Electric vehicles - Hybrid vehicles - Energy-efficient transportation systems
Problems Solved: - Efficient energy management in vehicles - Extending driving range of electric vehicles - Optimizing power usage in regenerative braking systems
Benefits: - Increased energy efficiency - Extended driving range - Reduced emissions - Enhanced performance of regenerative braking system
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Regenerative Braking Control System for Electric Vehicles" This technology can be utilized by automotive manufacturers to enhance the efficiency and performance of electric and hybrid vehicles, appealing to environmentally conscious consumers and meeting stringent emissions regulations.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the regenerative braking control apparatus improve energy efficiency in vehicles? 2. What are the key components of the regenerative braking control system and how do they work together to optimize power usage?
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.
