Abstract
A method of operating a fuel cell system which includes a plurality of fuel cells and a plurality of auxiliary components located in at least one cabinet, includes monitoring, by a control unit, a parameter of the fuel cell system, determining whether the parameter has violated a threshold, and varying an auxiliary bus voltage provided to the plurality of auxiliary components connected to a common auxiliary bus by a first amount in response to determining that the parameter has violated the threshold.
