Abstract:
1. A method of starting up a fuel cell electric generator to satisfy a power request of a user (UPR), comprising the steps of: (a) supplying said user with an auxiliary power supply (APS) and, in parallel, with a fuel cell power supply (FCP) being obtained from the fuel cells in such a manner that the sum of them is substantially equal to said user power request (UPR); (b) acquiring data relative to: (c) progressively increasing said fuel cell power supply (FCP) and decreasing said auxiliary power supply (APS) such that their sum remains substantially equal to said user power request (UPR); wherein said step (c) of progressively increasing said fuel cell power supply (FCP) is carried out only if said acquired data are detected to be greater than respective reference values of normalized voltage (V
