    摘要: The present disclosure provides fuel cell units formed from a plurality of flow plate assemblies disposed in a stack configuration, with adjacent flow plate assemblies in the stack configuration disposed at an offset angle relative to each other. Fuel cell stacks can be formed from a plurality of the fuel cell units placed into a stack aligned with each other with no offset. The present disclosure also provides for methods of forming the fuel cell units, fuel cell stacks, and fuel cell systems containing the former.

    摘要: The disclosure relates to a fuel cell stack and corresponding method of operating the fuel cell stack. The method comprises: determining a maximum allowable current that may be drawn from the fuel cell stack; repeatedly determining a magnitude of change to the prevailing maximum allowable current based on a prevailing allowable current ramp rate and an actual measured current of the fuel cell stack; updating the maximum allowable current according to the periodically determined magnitude of change; and controlling operating parameters of the fuel cell stack according to the prevailing maximum allowable current.
