Operation control system and method of fuel cell vehicle

An operation control system and method of a fuel cell vehicle are provided. The system includes a fuel cell, an air supply device operated by a motor, to supply air to the fuel cell and a sensing unit that senses an abnormal operation of the air supply device. A calculation unit calculates a lower-limit voltage of the air supply device required for normal operation of the air supply device when the sensing unit senses abnormal operation of the air supply device. A controller then adjusts a voltage supplied to the air supply device based on the calculated lower-limit voltage.

20220402363 · 2022-12-22 ·

A control method and system of a fuel cell electric vehicle stack. The control method comprises obtaining insulation resistance of the stack, comprising at least two sub-stacks connected in parallel; and disconnecting a sub-stack with insulation failure from a DC bus and then causing the stack to enter a failure mode when it is determined that the insulation resistance of the stack is smaller than a first preset threshold. The stack is determined to have an insulation failure when it is determined that the insulation resistance of the stack is smaller than the first preset threshold. The sub-stack with the insulation failure is located and disconnected the sub-stack with insulation failure from a DC bus, and the stack is then caused to run in a failure mode to perform failure protection, avoid deterioration of the insulation failure and burnout of the stack and improve the safety performance of the stack.

FUEL CELL STACK PROTECTION METHOD, DEVICE AND FUEL CELL POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM
20220407095 · 2022-12-22 ·

The present invention provides a fuel cell stack protection method, a fuel cell stack protection device and a fuel cell power supply system. The method comprises: determining whether a load-dump failure occurs to the fuel cell; controlling the bleeder circuit connected to the output ends of a DC-DC circuit in the fuel cell so as to discharge the DC-DC circuit when a load-dump failure occurs to the fuel cell. When a load-dump failure occurs to the fuel cell, the bleeder circuit connected to the output ends of the DC-DC circuit in the fuel cell is turned on to discharge the DC-DC circuit so that the DC-DC circuit in the fuel cell can continue to output a current, thus preventing the voltage of a fuel cell stack from rising abruptly because of a load-dump failure and preventing any damage caused by a load-dump failure to the fuel cell stack
