Abstract

A system, such as for a fuel cell electric vehicle, includes a fuel cell stack (FCS) and a controller. The FCS is configured to provide, such as for vehicle propulsion, a stack power commensurate with a stack power request. The stack power is a product of a stack current of the FCS and a stack voltage of the FCS. The controller is configured to, upon the stack voltage meeting a predetermined threshold, control the FCS to increase the stack current to cause the FCS to provide an increased stack power commensurate with an increased stack power request.
