    摘要: A topping cycle fuel cell unit includes a support plate having internal flow passages that extend to combustion outlets, a first electrode layer, an electrolyte layer, and a second electrode layer. The second electrode layer is configured to be coupled to another support plate of another fuel cell unit. The internal flow passages are configured to receive and direct air across the first electrolyte layer or the second electrolyte layer and to receive and direct fuel across another of the first electrolyte layer or the second electrolyte layer such that the first electrode layer, the electrolyte layer, and the second electrode layer create electric current. The internal flow passages are configured to direct at least some of the air and at least some of the fuel to the combustion outlets where the at least some air and the at least some fuel is combusted.

    摘要: A system includes a primary source of power, a main battery, a reserve battery, and a battery management system. A method for operating the system is also disclosed. The main battery of the system is electrically connected to the article, and the reserve battery is configured to back-up the main battery. The battery management system is electrically connected to the main battery. The battery management system maintains the reserve battery in a dormant state when the primary source of power is operational. The reserve battery is also maintained at a dormant state when the primary source of power is not operational; and the main battery is discharging and able to effectively back-up the primary source of power in supplying power to the article.

    摘要: An energy storage system is disclosed. The energy storage system includes an insulated housing defining an interior chamber, a battery disposed within the interior chamber of the insulated housing, a cooling system configured to manage a temperature of the interior chamber of the insulated housing, and a temperature controller communicatively coupled to the cooling system and comprising at least one processor in communication with at least one memory device. The at least one processor is configured to determine a reference current level at the battery, compute, based on the reference current level, a target temperature for the interior chamber of the insulated housing, and instruct the cooling system to maintain the temperature in the interior chamber of the insulated housing at the target temperature.
