1. An apparatus, comprising:
at least one memory storing processor-executable code therein, and at least one processor that is adapted to execute the processor-executable code, wherein the processor-executable code includes processor-executable instructions that, in response to execution, enables the apparatus to perform actions, including:
measuring at least one characteristic associated with a load that is driven based, at least in part, on a voltage difference between an anode and a cathode of a fuel cell stack of a fuel cell, wherein the at least one characteristic associated with the load is at least one of a voltage of the load or a current of the load;
controlling pumping of gaseous fuel into the fuel cell;
providing a plurality of control signals based, at least in part, on the at least one characteristic, such that a first control signal causes an adjustment of mass flow of the gaseous fuel to the anode of the fuel cell stack and such that a second control signal causes control of the pumping of the gaseous fuel into the fuel cell;
controlling pumping of an oxidizing agent into the cathode of the fuel cell stack based on a third control signal;
adjusting a speed of the pumping of the oxidizing agent based on a fourth control signal; and
adjusting a speed of the pumping of the gaseous fuel into the fuel cell based on a fifth control signal,
wherein the speed of the pumping of the oxidizing agent and the speed of the pumping of the gaseous fuel are linked.
