Systems and methods for providing heat control in a multi-stack fuel cell system

The present disclosure pertains to a system (5) comprising a plurality of power converters (20-1 to 20-n) configured, via a processing device (30), to balance heat from a plurality of fuel cell stacks (10-1 to 10-n). Some embodiments may: set one or more parameter values of one of the power converte...

description The present disclosure pertains to a system (5) comprising a plurality of power converters (20-1 to 20-n) configured, via a processing device (30), to balance heat from a plurality of fuel cell stacks (10-1 to 10-n). Some embodiments may: set one or more parameter values of one of the power converters (20-1) located at the output of one of the plurality of stacks (10-1) such that the one stack preferentially provides power to a load; determine a heat power of the one stack (10-1) and of one or more other stacks of the plurality of stacks (10-2 to 10-n), each of the heat powers being determined based on a voltage and current that are determined at the input of the respective power converter (20-1 to 20-n); determine whether the heat power of the one stack (20-1) satisfies a criterion; and responsive to a determination that the heat power of the one stack satisfies the criterion, set one or more parameter values of each of the power converters (20- 2 to 20-n) located at the output of the one or more other stacks such that the determined heat power of each of the one or more other stacks (10-2 to 10-n) more closely matches the determined heat power of the one stack (10-1).
