Abstract
A hybrid power supply system includes a number of power modules electrically connected with each other in series. Each power module includes a fuel cell unit and a lithium-ion battery unit. Each fuel cell unit includes at least two fuel cell monomers electrically connected with each other in series. Each lithium-ion battery unit includes one or more lithium ion battery monomers electrically connected with each other in parallel. Each fuel cell unit is electrically connected with each lithium-ion battery unit in parallel to directly charge the lithium-ion battery unit.
