PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and method for predicting performance degradation and failure of a fuel cell.SOLUTION: A 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 are 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 obtains a differential voltage of the upstream and downstream voltages of each single cell. In accordance with the differential voltage, the system control unit performs correction control of failure prediction on the fuel cell. |
