ABSTRACT:
In a generating system including a plurality of parallel-operated fuel cells possessing a plurality of stacks, each of the cells is provided with a control circuit comprising chopper means each composed of switching elements which are ignition-controlled and each of which is connected to the output terminal of the respective cells, and ignition circuits each generating an ignition signal for ignition-controlling the switching elements in such manner that output current of the chopper means is made to be a prescribed value in accordance with the output current, whereby output control is effected in respect of each stack of the fuel cells so that load in respect of the respective cells is equalized and parallel operation with a high efficiency is effectuated.
