Abstract
An illustrative example system for managing hydrogen utilization in a fuel cell power plant includes a first hydrogen concentration sensor that provides an indication of a first concentration of hydrogen in a fluid flowing into an anode inlet of the power plant. A second hydrogen concentration sensor provides an indication of a second concentration of hydrogen in a fluid flowing out of an anode exit of the power plant. A processor determines a utilization of hydrogen by the power plant based on the first and second concentrations.
