  • Abstract
    This paper proposes a possible feedback control system for regulating the output voltage and currents of a spacecraft electric power system consisting of parallel fuel-cell modules. Such a control system may be necessary because of the many fuel cell variables that can change the value of the fuel-cell module terminal voltage and cause an unequal division of load between the modules.
