Abstract
A fuel cell failure prediction apparatus is provided. The prediction apparatus includes upstream and downstream voltage monitoring units, a data processing unit and a system control unit. The upstream and downstream voltages of each single cell may be synchronously monitored by the upstream and downstream voltage monitoring units. According to the monitored upstream and downstream voltages of each single cell, the data processing unit is used to obtain a differential voltage of the upstream and downstream voltages of each single cell. In accordance with the differential voltage, the system control unit performs a correcting control of failure prediction on the fuel cell.
