20 Claims

1. An electrical power generating system, comprising:

a fuel cell comprising a first DC output;

an electrical storage unit comprising a DC input coupled to the first DC output of the fuel cell, the electrical storage unit further comprising a second DC output;

an inverter coupled to the second DC output of the electrical storage unit to receive power, the inverter comprising a first AC output;

a contactor adapted to be connected between the first AC output and an AC load bus, wherein the AC load bus has an AC voltage; and

a controller adapted to sense a frequency of the first AC output and the AC voltage of the AC load bus, wherein the controller controls a frequency of the first AC output of the inverter;

wherein the controller further comprises an output command to selectively activate the contactor when a relationship between the frequency of the first AC output and the AC voltage are substantially matched;

wherein the controller is further adapted to communicate with a remote computing device.
