Abstract
A multiple energy source management system for an integrated hydrogen-electric engine is disclosed, the system includes a first and a second energy source providing energy to the integrated hydrogen-electric engine. A pre-charge load to provide an energy demand to a selected energy source. A sensor monitoring a power output from the first and/or second energy source. A relay to switch between the first and second energy sources. A computer system to receive an output energy of the first energy source, determine if the output energy is below a threshold value, switch the relay from the first state to the third state for a predetermined period of time, based on the determination, pre-charge the second energy source by the pre-charge load; and switch the relay to the second state after the predetermined period of time.
