Apparatus for controlling fuel cell vehicle

An upper limit amount of discharged electric energy calculator 53 calculates an upper limit amount of discharged electric energy (Pcap_LMT), which represents a discharged electric energy of a capacitor 3 when the amount of electric energy discharged by a fuel cell stack 2 is equal to an upper limit amount of electric energy (Ifc_LMT) generated by the fuel cell stack 2, based on an open voltage (Vcap_o) across the capacitor 3 and the upper limit amount of generated electric energy (Ifc_LMT). An output limit electric energy calculator 54 calculates an output limit electric energy (PLD), which represents an upper limit amount of the electric energy that can be outputted to a motor 10, based on the upper limit amount of generated electric energy (Ifc_LMT), the upper limit amount of discharged electric energy (Pcap_LMT), and an electric energy (Pload) consumed by electric accessories. A torque command determining unit 60 determines a torque command (TRQ_CMD) such that the electric energy consumed by the motor 10 and a motor driver 5 will not exceed the output limit electric energy (PLD).
