    摘要: A control system for controlling power flow in a power bus generally powered by a reformer-based fuel cell system (FCS) is provided. The control system comprises an energy storage device (ESD); a power interface unit coupled to selectively and bi-directionally pass power between the energy storage device and the power bus; and a controller coupled to the power bus to receive one or more signals indicative of the instantaneous power delivered by the fuel cell system. The controller may be configured so that the energy storage device may supply power to the power bus at least during transient conditions when the instantaneous power delivered by the fuel cell system drops below a (FCS) power command signal.

    摘要: A battery load leveling arrangement for an electrically powered system in which battery loading is subject to intermittent high current loading utilizes a passive energy storage device and a diode connected in series with the storage device to conduct current from the storage device to the load when current demand forces a drop in battery voltage. A current limiting circuit is connected in parallel with the diode for recharging the passive energy storage device. The current limiting circuit functions to limit the average magnitude of recharge current supplied to the storage device. Various forms of current limiting circuits are disclosed, including a PTC resistor coupled in parallel with a fixed resistor. The current limit circuit may also include an SCR for switching regenerative braking current to the device when the system is connected to power an electric motor.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for load leveling of a battery in an electrical power system includes a power regulator coupled to transfer power between a load and a DC link, a battery coupled to the DC link through a first DC-to-DC converter and an auxiliary passive energy storage device coupled to the DC link through a second DC-to-DC converter. The battery is coupled to the passive energy storage device through a unidirectional conducting device whereby the battery can supply power to the DC link through each of the first and second converters when battery voltage exceeds voltage on the passive storage device. When the load comprises a motor capable of operating in a regenerative mode, the converters are adapted for transferring power to the battery and passive storage device. In this form, resistance can be coupled in circuit with the second DC-to-DC converter to dissipate excess regenerative power.
