Abstract
A system includes a fuel cell stack (FCS) and a controller. The controller is configured to, in response to a stack current request corresponding to a stack current of the FCS which would cause a membrane hydration level of the FCS to be outside of a desired hydration range, adjust the stack current request to correspond to an adjusted stack current of the FCS which causes the membrane hydration level to be maintained within the desired hydration range.
