Claim:
1. A method for managing the continuity of the electrical supply of an electric equipment, the method comprising: supplying power by an intermittent electric power source to the electrical equipment, an electric power stocking module and a gaseous fuel electrochemical generating unit for producing and stocking fuel when both power of the electric power source exceeds an operating power of the equipment and also when power of the electric power stocking module is at a first power threshold comprising a full charge threshold, destocking the fuel in the electrochemical generating unit, supplying power by the electrochemical generating unit to the electrical equipment and charging the electric power stocking module by the electrochemical generating unit as soon as the power of the electric power stocking module is at a second power threshold comprising a discharge threshold and that is lower than the first power threshold and until the power of the electric power stocking module charged by the electrochemical generating unit reaches the first power threshold; supplying power to the equipment by the intermittent electric power source and charging the electric power stocking module by the intermittent electric power source when the power of the intermittent electric power source exceeds the operation power of the equipment and the power of the electric power stocking module ranges between the first and second power thresholds, and supplying power to the equipment by at least the electric power stocking module when the power of the intermittent electric power source is lower than the operating power of the equipment and the power of the electric power stocking module ranges between the first and second power thresholds.
