  • Patent number: 12679249
    Abstract: A computer implemented method controls an electric power system of a fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV). The electric power system has a fuel cell and an energy storage system electrically connected to each other. An upcoming position at which the electric power system will assume a low load operation mode is determined, and the electric power system is controlled based on a power distribution scheme to arrive at the upcoming position with a state of charge level of the energy storage system below a predetermined threshold level, whereafter the electric power system is controlled to feed electric power at least to the energy consumer when the electric power system assumes the low load operation mode at the upcoming position.

  • Patent number: 12528388
    Abstract: A computer system and a method for controlling a power system of a vehicle is disclosed. The power system includes a fuel cell system and an energy storage system comprising one or more batteries. The method includes predicting an upcoming driving event associated with a start time and a time duration, the driving event being an event during which the vehicle is expected to be operated under a load condition. The method further includes determining a preferred operating condition of the fuel cell system during the predicted upcoming driving event based on the load condition and on the time duration, and controlling the power system by performing a preparation action associated with the power system in dependence of the determined operating condition of the fuel system before the start time of the predicted upcoming driving event.
