  • Patent number: 11811114
    Abstract: The power supply device is configured on an aircraft and includes a secondary battery, a transformer, a fuel cell and a bypass switch. The transformer is electrically connected between the secondary battery and the aircraft. The fuel cell is suitable for providing a first output current to the aircraft. The bypass switch is connected in parallel with the transformer. The transformer has a first output voltage set value. When a first output terminal voltage of the fuel cell is lower than the first output voltage set value and the bypass switch is in a non-conducting state, a second output current of the secondary battery is provided to the aircraft via the transformer. When the first output terminal voltage is lower than the first output voltage set value and the bypass switch is in a conducting state, the second output current is provided to the aircraft via the bypass switch.

  • Patent number: 11552315
    Abstract: A control system and a control method of fuel cell stacks are provided. The control system includes a set of fuel cell stacks, a secondary battery, a monitoring device, and a control device. Each fuel cell stack has a power output that can be independently started up or shut down. The secondary battery is connected to power output terminals of the fuel cell stacks via a power transmission path. The monitoring device is configured to monitor an electrical parameter of the power transmission path. The control device receives an electrical parameter signal from the monitoring device, and outputs a control signal to shut down or start up the power output of at least one of the fuel cell stacks if the electrical parameter's value is higher than a predetermined upper limit or lower than a predetermined lower limit.
