FUEL CELL SYSTEM AND ELECTRIC CAR MOUNTING IT AND STARTING CONTROL METHOD FOR FUEL CELL SYSTEM

摘要

In the case where internal temperature of fuel cells 40 has not reached a stationary level (step S26), a control unit 100 disconnects a secondary battery 60 from an inverter 70 (step S28) and controls the drive of a motor 80 (step S30), in order to cause the motor 80 to consume electric power supplied from the fuel cells 40 while the inverter 70 functions to prevent any torque from being produced at a drive shaft 82 of the motor 80. Such control enables the internal temperature of the fuel cells to be raised to the stationary level in a shortest possible time at the time of activating the fuel cells. IMAGE
