1. A distributed fuel cell power supply cabinet, comprising:
a modified cabinet integrated with a fuel cell system, and a coupled thermal management system of a fuel cell and a data center,
wherein the fuel cell system integrated in a lower part of the modified cabinet, and a server group and cooling equipment integrated in an upper part of the modified cabinet;
the fuel cell system comprising a fuel cell stack, a plate heat exchanger, and a fuel cell control module;
the fuel cell control module comprising a hydrogen module, an air module, a cooling module, an exhaust module, and a power source module,
wherein the fuel cell control module, the hydrogen module, the air module, the cooling module, and the exhaust module are coupled to the fuel cell stack by pipelines or circuits and are entirely integrated in the lower part of the modified cabinet,
wherein the hydrogen module is coupled to a hydrogen supply module outside the modified cabinet by a pipeline,
wherein a tail end of the hydrogen module is coupled to the fuel cell stack,
wherein the air module is coupled to an air supply module outside the modified cabinet by a pipeline,
wherein a tail end of the air module is coupled to the fuel cell stack,
wherein the exhaust module is coupled to an exhaust processing module outside the modified cabinet by a pipeline,
wherein a starting end of the exhaust module is coupled to the fuel cell stack,
wherein the cooling module is in closed-loop connection with the fuel cell stack by pipelines,
wherein the plate heat exchanger is a part of the cooling module, and a coolant of the plate heat exchanger is from a liquid outlet of a liquid-air heat exchanger, and
wherein the power source module of the fuel cell control module is used for power supply;
the upper part of the modified cabinet comprising the server group, the liquid-air heat exchanger, and a fan matrix, configured to work together to achieve the cooling of the server group; and
the coupled thermal management system of the fuel cell and the data center comprising coupled management of a server thermal management, a fuel cell thermal management, and a computer room thermal management,
wherein the server thermal management is achieved through the liquid-air heat exchanger and the fan matrix,
wherein the fuel cell thermal management is achieved by discharging a part of low-temperature returned liquid from the liquid-air heat exchanger, and
wherein the computer room thermal management is achieved through the cooling equipment outside a computer room of the data center.
