Abstract
A method of controlling purge of a fuel cell system for a vehicle is provided. The method determines whether a purge function is normally performed in controlling purge of discharging nitrogen, hydrogen, and vapor within an anode of a fuel cell system. Particularly, the method confirms whether purge is performed by measuring a duty or a current applied to a hydrogen supply valve and measuring a change in the duty before and after an application of a purge valve operation command while adjusting a pressure inside the anode, which supplies hydrogen, to be uniform. Further, a hydrogen supply amount supplied into an anode is estimated and a change rate of a hydrogen supply amount supplied to the anode and a hydrogen amount consumed during a generation of the fuel cell system are estimated during a purge function, to determine whether purge is actually performed based on the estimated information.
