Abstract:
A method for calculating voltage loss of a fuel cell is provided. The method includes sensing an open circuit voltage that is generated in a stack when the switch is opened and detecting an operation voltage and an operation current that are generated in the stack when the switch is closed. A first change graph of voltage data over time is calculated using the voltage data and current data from a time when the switch is opened in a state where the switch is closed. A first voltage of a point at which a trend line for an interval where the voltage data linearly varies with the time meets the first change graph is sensed and then an ohmic resistance voltage loss is calculated using a difference between the first voltage and the operation voltage.
