摘要： An exemplary method includes of operating a fuel cell at a first power output level that includes a plurality of operation parameters. Each operation parameter has a value to satisfy a first power demand. A change between the first power demand and a second power demand is determined. At least a first one of the operation parameters is maintained at a value corresponding to the first power output level or at an intermediate value while at least a second one of the operation parameters is changed to a value corresponding to a second power output level to satisfy the second power demand. The first operation parameter is delayed from changing to a value corresponding to the second power output level until a predetermined criterion is met.

摘要： The oxidant inlets of the reactant gas flow field grooves (41) of a fuel cell (11) which suffers a crossover between the fuel and oxidant flow fields, due to a leak in the seals, the maxtrix or the membrane of the fuel cell, are blocked with a liquid (50) which cures in place, hot glue, two-part epoxy, or fluoroelastomers. This prevents heating as a result of combusting fuel with oxygen near the site, which avoids excessive heating and damaging of successive fuel cells. As a result, a fuel cell power plant (8) can continue to operate with only a minor loss of voltage and power, thereby avoiding the need to tear down the stack by loosening the tie-bolts. Voltage and hydrogen levels may be used to detect the crossover. The particular cell (11) with the leak can be determined by voltage or hydrogen monitoring, or by immersing the stack in a liquid while applying gas to the fuel inlet of the stack.
摘要翻译：燃料电池（11）的反应气体流场槽（41）的氧化剂入口由于燃料电池的密封件，最大或者膜的泄漏而在燃料和氧化剂流场之间产生交叉，被固化的液体（50）封闭，热胶，两部分环氧树脂或含氟弹性体。这可以防止由于在现场附近的氧气燃烧燃料而导致的加热，这避免了过度的加热和连续的燃料电池的损坏。结果，燃料电池发电厂（8）可以继续工作，只有轻微的电压和功率损失，从而避免了通过松开连接螺栓来拆下堆叠的需要。电压和氢气水平可用于检测交叉。具有泄漏的特定电池（11）可以通过电压或氢气监测来确定，或者通过将烟囱浸入液体中同时将气体施加到堆叠的燃料入口来确定。

摘要： A fuel cell power plant includes a fuel cell having a membrane electrode assembly (MEA), disposed between an anode support plate and a cathode support plate, the anode and/or cathode support plates include a hydrophilic substrate layer having a predetermined pore size. The pressure of the reactant gas streams is greater than the pressure of the coolant stream, such that a greater percentage of the pores within the hydrophilic substrate layer contain reactant gas rather than water. Any water that forms on the cathode side of the MEA will migrate through the cathode support plate and away from the MEA. Controlling the pressure also ensures that the coolant water will continually migrate from the coolant stream toward the anode side of the MEA, thereby preventing the membrane from becoming dry. Proper pore size and a pressure differential between coolant and reactants improves the electrical efficiency of the fuel cell.
