摘要: A fuel cell stack (30) includes an integrated end plate assembly having a current collector (40) secured adjacent and end cell (36) of the stack, a pressure plate (42) secured adjacent the current collector (40), and a backbone (60) secured within a backbone-support plane (44) defined within the plate (42). Tie rod ends (62, 64, 66, 68) of the backbone (60) extend over a gap (84) defined between the backbone-support plane (44) and a deflection plane (50) defined within the pressure plate (42) so that the tie rod ends deflect within the gap (84) upon tightening of tie rods (78, 80). Deflection of the backbone enables the backbone (60) to permit limited expansion of the fuel cell stack (30) during operation, and the backbone (60) has adequate flexural strength to prohibit expansion of the stack (30) beyond operating dynamic limits of the stack (30).

摘要: A fuel cell power plant (20) includes a variable resistive device (30). In one example, the variable resistive device (30) is operationally associated directly with a cell stack assembly (22). The controller (32) selectively varies an electrical resistance of the variable resistive device (30) responsive to an operating condition of the power plant (20). By using a variable resistive device, a variety of control functions are possible to address various operating conditions of the power plant (20) or the cell stack assembly (22).
