Abstract

Described are power management systems having at least one fuel cell system, a power distribution unit, at least one galley insert, a galley network controller, a control panel, and / or at least one battery pack. The power management system compares a power output from the power distribution unit to a maximum load level and / or to a minimum load level, instructs the galley network controller to cycle the galley insert off and / or set an operation of the galley insert to a lower power consumption level when the power output approaches and / or is above the maximum load level, and instructs the galley network controller to cycle the galley insert on and / or set the operation of the galley insert to a higher power consumption level when the power output approaches and / or is below the minimum load level.
