According to one aspect, a system for resource management may perform receiving a total resource request, a vector of two or more maximum available resources associated with two or more corresponding resource providers, and a number of resource providers and calculating an individual resource request for each of the two or more resource providers based on a classification number. Any resource provider having a maximum available resource less than or equal to the classification number may be assigned an individual resource request equal to their corresponding maximum available resource.

Resource management

According to one aspect, a system for resource management may perform receiving a total resource request, a vector of two or more maximum available resources associated with two or more corresponding resource providers, and a number of resource providers and calculating an individual resource request for each of the two or more resource providers by iteratively comparing the vector of two or more maximum available resources with a vector of a current average resource residual, taking a minimum between those vectors as a running tally for the individual resource requests, and recalculating the current average resource residual.

In a case where each of the temperature, the impedance, and the output current of a fuel cell stack falls within a predetermined range, the output voltage of the fuel cell stack is measured, and the measured output voltage is compared with a reference value to thereby determine the degree of degradation of the fuel cell stack.
