Abstract

A method of controlling a fuel cell includes collecting, by a control unit, environmental information and state information of a fuel cell stack; determining, by the control unit, a motor output offset value from the collected environmental information and the collected state information of the fuel cell stack; correcting, by the control unit, a default critical output corresponding to a current vehicle operating state based on the determined motor output offset value; determining, by the control unit, the stop or the restart of the fuel cell by comparing a motor output demand determined from current vehicle operating information with the corrected critical output; and controlling, by the control unit, an operating state of the fuel cell to become a state of the determined stop or restart.
