Abstract
A method of distributing power in a fuel cell system including a plurality of fuel cell stacks, includes determining, by a controller, a total system power demand, which is a power demand of the fuel cell system, determining an operation order of the fuel cell stacks based on a state of the fuel cell stacks, determining the number of operation fuel cell stacks among the plurality of fuel cell stacks based on the total system power demand and an average available power of the fuel cell stacks, determining operation target fuel cell stacks based on the operation order of the fuel cell stacks and the number of operation fuel cell stacks, and determining a power demand of each of the operation target fuel cell stacks based on the total system power demand and an effective catalyst reaction area ratio of each fuel cell stack included in the operation target fuel cell stacks.
