Abstract

A computer implemented method controls an electric power system of a fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV). The electric power system has a fuel cell and an energy storage system electrically connected to each other. An upcoming position at which the electric power system will assume a low load operation mode is determined, and the electric power system is controlled based on a power distribution scheme to arrive at the upcoming position with a state of charge level of the energy storage system below a predetermined threshold level, whereafter the electric power system is controlled to feed electric power at least to the energy consumer when the electric power system assumes the low load operation mode at the upcoming position.
