  • Patent number: 11312263
    Abstract: A method for controlling an operation of a fuel cell of a fuel cell vehicle is provided. The method includes detecting a state of charge (SOC) of a high voltage battery and determining whether the detected SOC of the high voltage battery is within or beyond a preset range from a minimum recommended SOC to a maximum recommended SOC. Power generation of the fuel cell is performed or stopped by comparing a required current of the vehicle with a preset current value required to enter a fuel-cell stop mode in which the power generation of the fuel cell is stopped and a preset current value required to release the fuel-cell stop mode.

  • Patent number: 10447188
    Abstract: A method and system of controlling driving of a brushless DC electric motor (BLDC) of an electric water pump are provided. The method includes estimating an initial position of a rotor using a magnitude of a current detected in a three-phase coil wound on a stator and converting a current magnitude that reflects a rotational angle of the rotor with respect to the initial position into two direct currents based on the three-phase current. The converted direct currents are output and a rotational angle, a speed, a flux and a torque of the rotor are acquired based on values of the three-phase current, a voltage generated according to flow of the three-phase current, a predetermined coil resistance, and an inductance input. A speed of the motor is then adjusted based on the acquired rotational angle, speed, flux, and torque of the rotor.
