Abstract
Fuel cell systems aboard means of transport can be used for generating energy and for producing water. In order to reduce the overall weight of the system, the fuel cell is controlled or regulated in dependence on a current fill level or a limit level of the water tank, as well as a predicted future water consumption. In this way, it may be possible to minimize the water quantity to be stored in the water tank.
