  • Patent number: 10247768
    Abstract: A system for measuring the insulation resistance of a fuel cell vehicle is provided. The system includes a fuel cell that supplies power, a rechargeable high-voltage battery, and a bidirectional converter, disposed between an output terminal of the fuel cell and the high-voltage battery, to adjust a voltage at the output terminal of the fuel cell. A fast measurement unit measures the insulation resistance of the fuel cell vehicle by being connected to the output terminal of the fuel cell and a second measurement unit measures the insulation resistance of the fuel cell vehicle by being connected to the output terminal of the high-voltage battery. A controller operates the bidirectional converter based on the state of the fuel cell vehicle and measure the insulation resistance of the fuel cell vehicle using the first measurement unit or the second measurement unit.

  • Patent number: 10147960
    Abstract: A shut down system of a fuel cell vehicle includes: a fuel cell configured to output a high voltage; a rechargeable high voltage battery; a bidirectional converter arranged between an output terminal of the fuel cell and the high voltage battery; a first relay arranged between the fuel cell and the bidirectional converter; and a controller configured to control a voltage of the bidirectional converter when the fuel cell vehicle stalls to reduce a voltage of the output terminal of the fuel cell and turn off the first relay when a voltage value of the output terminal of the fuel cell is below a preset voltage reference value.

  • Patent number: 10026980
    Abstract: A method and system for maintaining stability of a system of a fuel cell vehicle are provided to prevent malfunction of sensors of a low voltage DC-DC converter and the respective controllers. A start timing of a fault diagnosis for the low voltage DC-DC converter and the respective controllers is determined and a deviation between voltages of the sensors of the low voltage DC-DC converter and the respective controllers is detected to determine whether the low voltage DC-DC converter and the respective controllers fail.

  • Patent number: 9469197
    Abstract: An apparatus for compensating for torque of a fuel cell electric vehicle includes: a storage configured to store a first look-up table in which pedal amount correction coefficients corresponding to degradation rates of a fuel cell stack are recorded and a second look-up table in which torques corresponding to pedal amounts are recorded; a degradation rate calculator configured to calculate a degradation rate based on a maximum voltage and an output voltage of the fuel cell stack; a correction coefficient searcher configured to search for a correction coefficient corresponding to the calculated degradation rate using the first look-up table; a pedal amount detector configured to detect a pedal amount indicating a degree to which an acceleration pedal is pressed; and a torque compensator configured to compensate for torque by compensating for the detected pedal amount based on the searched correction coefficient using the second look-up table.

  • Publication number: 20160156084
    Abstract: An apparatus for controlling a converter includes: a failure detector that detects failure of a sensor included in an input or output side of the converter, a substitution factor calculator that calculates a substitution factor based on a measurement value of a sensor in a high voltage battery connected to an input side of the converter when failure is detected in the sensor of the input side by the failure detector and calculates the substitution factor based on measurement values of a sensor connected to one or more loads when failure is detected in the sensor of the output side, and an emergency operation controller that controls an operation in a constant current or constant voltage scheme based on the calculated substitution factor.
