Abstract:
1. A fuel cell system comprising: an integration plane adapted to receive a plurality of differing types of technology modules, comprising, a hydrogen fuel cell stack, coupled to the bidirectional fluid bus of the integration plane, to generate unconditioned electrical power using hydrogen; a power management unit, electrically coupled to the hydrogen fuel cell stack, to generate conditioned electrical power using the unconditioned electrical power generated by the hydrogen fuel cell stack and to output the conditioned electrical power to a power management interface; and circuitry electrically coupled to at least one of (i) the integration plane, (ii) the hydrogen fuel cell stack and (iii) the power management unit, to monitor and/or control at least one of (i) the integration plane, (ii) the hydrogen fuel cell stack, and (iii) the power management unit.
