Method and apparatus for controlling converter in full cell vehicle

A method of controlling a converter of a fuel cell vehicle, comprising:

• detecting, by a hybrid controller, an inverter DC terminal voltage input in an inverter connected to a motor of the vehicle, and generating a power control value for controlling the converter based on the inverter DC terminal voltage;
• using, by a first amplifier directly connected to the hybrid controller, the power control value for controlling power of the converter as a reference value, generating a current reference signal based on the reference value, and outputting the generated current reference signal;
• outputting, by the first amplifier, a final reference signal for generating a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal by compensating for the current reference signal based on output terminal current of the converter;
• generating, by a wave generator, a triangular wave signal;
• amplifying, by a second amplifier, the triangular wave signal;
• and
• comparing the amplified triangular wave signal and the final reference signal, generating the PWM signal having a predetermined duty ratio, and outputting the generated PWM signal to the converter,
• wherein the generating of the current reference signal and the outputting of the generated current reference signal includes setting a change rate corresponding to the reference value based on change rates having different predetermined values for each reference value, and outputting the current reference signal amplified according to the set change rate.
