Abstract

A method of controlling a power generating system comprising a plurality of metal-air cells and a pump for circulating an electrolyte solution through the cells. The method comprises sensing an operating condition of the generating system, and selectively energizing the pump as a function of the sensed operating condition whereby energizing the pump causes the electrolyte solution to be circulated through the cells.
