Abstract :
This paper presents a power splitting algorithm in order to optimize the efficiency of a multi fuel cell system. Versus a single fuel cell, such a system is modular, allows a better efficiency curve and reduces the risk of general failure. The results of the algorithm are easy to implement into a real time controller. This work presents simulation results based on an experimental power vs efficiency curve.
