Control strategy improvement for a parallel power distribution architecture based on fuel cells and supercapacitors

The use of fuel cells as main source of energy is suffering an important increase, due to their continuous improvements and their good performances. Fuel cells are being used in very different industrial applications, and they are being particularly applied in automotive field. So, there is an important growing in the study of new power distribution architectures based on fuel cells.
