FUEL CELL DRIVEN RAILROAD VEHICLE, AND POWER CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fuel cell driven railroad vehicle capable of improving fuel economy by improving energy efficiency, and to provide a power control method thereof.SOLUTION: A fuel cell driven railroad vehicle includes: a fuel cell 11 for driving vehicle motors 15A and 15B; a secondary cell 17 capable of storing power outputted from the motors 15A and 15B or the fuel cell 11 and outputting the stored power; and a control device for causing the fuel cell 11 to output power of maximum efficiency when a difference between a target power amount of the secondary cell 17 and a current power amount is subpar.
