Abstract
A fuel cell-based generator (100) is provided. The fuel cell-based generator (100) includes a fuel cell module (110) comprising at least a first fuel cell and a second fuel cell which are electrically coupled with each other; a converter (120) comprising a first switch electrically coupled to the first fuel cell and a second switch electrically coupled to the second fuel cell; and a controller (130) configured to operate the first and second switches in coordination to regulate the operation of the first and second fuel cells based on a differential measurement value of performance parameters associated with at least one of the first and second fuel cells.
