FUEL CELL SYSTEM
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A fuel cell system comprising:
- a fuel cell;
a battery;
an inverter to which the fuel cell and the battery are connected in parallel;
an air compressor that is connected to the inverter; and
a control unit that controls driving of the air compressor by a current command value supplied to the inverter, whereinthe control unit is equipped with a first control unit that controls driving of the air compressor, and a second control unit that controls an electric power of the system, the first control unit obtains a rotational speed of the air compressor based on a signal supplied from the inverter, transmits the rotational speed to the second control unit, and controls the current command value supplied to the inverter based on a command torque transmitted from the second control unit, andthe second control unit receives the rotational speed from the first control unit, receives a rotational speed command value of the air compressor corresponding to an output requirement of the fuel cell from a device outside the second control unit, obtains a rotational speed predicted value based on the received rotational speed command value, derives a limit torque of the air compressor from the obtained rotational speed predicted value, generates the command torque of the air compressor within a range of the derived limit torque, and transmits the generated command torque to the first control unit.

Abstract
An MG-ECU obtains a rotational speed Na of an ACP. The MG-ECU transmits the obtained rotational speed (a PM reception rotational speed) Na of the ACP to a PM-ECU through communication. The PM-ECU obtains a rotational speed predicted value Np by adding a rotational speed change width Cvw to the PM reception rotational speed Na received from the delayed MG-ECU. A limit torque Tr12 is obtained through the use of the obtained rotational speed predicted value Np and an ACP permissible power level line L1.
