Abstract: Disclosed is a method of accelerating activation of a fuel cell, which may reduce an activation time of a fuel cell stack and the amount of hydrogen used. The method includes performing a process of alternately repeating allowance and interruption of supply of air to a fuel cell stack, simultaneously with a current application process of applying a high-current load equal to or greater than a predetermined current to the fuel cell stack. This is done while pressurizing hydrogen to a predetermined pressurization set pressure and supplying the pressurized hydrogen to the fuel cell stack to induce pumping of hydrogen to a cathode of the fuel cell stack in a state of interrupting supply of the air.

Abstract: An anode poison reduction system and method for a fuel cell vehicle. The system includes a monitoring device configured to monitor a state and performance of a fuel cell, and a controller configured to perform first control of controlling output of the fuel cell or air supply when an anode poisoning possibility condition is satisfied as a monitoring result by the monitoring device, and configured to perform second control of supplying air in the air line to the anode through the connection line when an anode poisoning generation condition is satisfied.

Abstract: A system and method for controlling operation of a fuel cell system, includes determining whether there is a risk of flooding by confirming whether the fuel cell system satisfies a predetermined flooding risk condition, and performing air supercharging by supplying air at a flow rate increased compared to an air supply demand to fuel cells of the fuel cell system, when the controller confirms that the fuel cell system satisfies the flooding risk condition.

Abstract: A current hysteresis reducing apparatus includes a processor configured to calculate a current hysteresis value of a fuel cell, to determine whether to operate a low current avoidance driving mode by using the current hysteresis value, and to enter the low current avoidance driving mode to avoid a low-current driving area, and a storage configured to store data and algorithms driven by the processor.

Abstract: A fuel cell system and a method of controlling the same are provided. The fuel cell system includes a supplying pipe that supplies hydrogen and air to a stack and a gas concentration sensor that senses hydrogen and air impurities supplied to the supplying pipe. A supplying valve is disposed in the supplying pipe to adjust the hydrogen and air supply and a discharging pipe discharges the hydrogen and the air from the stack. A discharging valve is disposed in the discharging pipe to adjust the discharging of the hydrogen and the air. A controller operates with the gas concentration sensor to detect introduction of the impurities. Exhaust valves are disposed at the front and rear end of the stack to remove a polluted fuel when the impurities are introduced. When performance deteriorates due to the impurities, a cause of deterioration is determined, and stack performance is recovered.
