Abstract

A method and system for controlling a voltage in a stop-mode of a fuel cell vehicle are provided. The method includes detecting whether a fuel cell enters the stop-mode and calculating a voltage command value of a bus terminal based on available charging power of a battery representing a level of power chargeable in a high voltage battery when the fuel cell enters the stop-mode. A converter connected between the high voltage battery and the bus terminal is operated to adjust the voltage of the bus terminal to be the voltage command value of the bus terminal. Additionally, power consumption of an electric field load of a vehicle is increased when the voltage is adjusted and then the voltage of the fuel cell measured by a voltage sensor is equal to or greater than a reference voltage preset in a memory.
