  • Publication number: 20160126572
    Abstract: A fuel cell system and a fuel cell system operation method using two or more power supplies are provided. A main stack is operated to output constant voltage by receiving air and hydrogen of an air supply device and a fuel supply device. An initial average cell voltage of the main stack and an average cell voltage of the main stack are measured after 10 hours. The initial average cell voltage value and the measured average cell voltage value are compared to calculate a voltage reduction rate. The main stack up is operated when the voltage reduction rate is greater than the reference value and a sub power supply is operated until EOL is reached when the voltage reduction rate is greater than the reference value to increase operation efficiency.

  • Patent number: 8519717
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for detecting ice blocking of a fuel cell stack. In particular, the method includes periodically calculating a minimum cell voltage of a fuel cell stack from cell voltages measured by a cell voltage monitoring system while reactant gases are supplied to the fuel cell stack and then calculating a change in the minimum cell voltage using a currently calculated minimum cell voltage and a previous minimum cell voltage. It is then determined whether the change in the minimum cell voltage is above a predetermined reference value. When the change in the minimum cell voltage is above the reference value, it is determined that the ice blocking has occurred or is occurring in an anode of the fuel cell stack.
