Abstract: A power controlling method for a power supplying system coupled to a load is disclosed. City energy is detected. It is determined whether the city energy corresponds to a first pre-determined condition. When the city energy corresponds to the first pre-determined condition, the city energy is transformed to generate a main power to the load. When the city energy does not correspond to the first pre-determined condition, a fuel cell unit is activated to provide a backup power to the load.

Abstract: An electrical energy supply system providing voltage to a load and including an external power group and a DC supply device is disclosed. The external power group provides an external voltage. The DC supply device includes a bus, a converting unit, a storage unit and a smart energy management system (SEMS).

Abstract: A power supply system driving a load including a main power apparatus and a backup power apparatus is disclosed. The main power apparatus provides main power to the load according to city power. The backup power apparatus provides backup power to the load when the city power does not correspond to a first pre-determined condition and includes a recombination unit, a fuel cell unit, a transformation unit, and a control unit. The recombination unit recombines a methanol component to a hydrogen component. The fuel cell unit receives the hydrogen component to generate a first power. The transformation unit detects the city power and transforms the first power to generate the backup power. When the city power does not correspond to a first pre-determined condition, the control unit activates the reformer, the fuel cell unit, and the transformation unit to generate the backup power.
