First Claim
Patent Images
1. A power management system comprising:
- a fuel cell to generate direct current (DC) power;
a power conditioning system (PCS) to convert the DC power to alternating current (AC) power;
a power grid that is connected to the PCS;
a detector to detect a change in the AC power flowing from an output line of the PCS; and
a controller to control the connection of the PCS and the power grid, according to the change detected by the detector.

Abstract
A fuel cell power management system and an anti-islanding method using the power management system. The power management system includes a fuel cell to generate direct current (DC) power, a power conditioning system (PCS) to generate alternating current (AC) power from the DC power generated by the fuel cell, a power grid that is connected to the PCS, a detector to detect a change in the AC power flowing from an output line of the PCS, and a controller to control the connection between the PCS and the power grid, according to the result of the detection.
