Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling a fuel cell is provided. The apparatus includes: a monitoring processor connected to a fuel cell and measures a voltage drop of the fuel cell and inter-cell voltages of the fuel cell; and a processor determines a failure of the fuel cell based on a measured cell value of the monitoring processor. The monitoring processor includes: connection terminals connected between the cells of the fuel cell, respectively; switches respectively connected to the connection terminals and configured to switch on or switch off; and current sources each configured to include: one end connected to each of the switches; and a current having a predetermined size flow therein. The processor controls the switch so that a pull-down current flows into the current source; and determine a failure of the fuel cell based on a difference between the inter-cell voltages of the fuel cell.
