An array of fuel cell systems are electrically couplable in series and/or
parallel combinations to provide a variety of output powers, output
current and/or output voltages. The fuel cell systems are "hot swappable"
and redundant fuel cell systems may automatically replace faulty fuel
cell systems to maintain output power, current and/or voltage, with or
without switching. The configuration of fuel cell systems may be
automatic and may be based on desired power, current and/or voltage,
and/or based on the operating parameters of the fuel cell systems and/or
power supply system.
