Gasoline fuel cell power system transient control

摘要

A reformer fuel feed stream in fuel cell power system is catalytically reacted into a reformate stream for a fuel cell stack by adjusting fuel supply throughput according to a predefined throughput ramp when a time derivative and the current demand for the fuel cell deviates from zero by more than an acceleration threshold value. The fuel cell power system is of special value when deployed on a vehicle where the load command is derived from the accelerator pedal of the vehicle.
