Abstract
A fuel cell system is described for providing backup power to one or more loads (including without limitation a cooling unit) upon the occurrence of a power outage condition, which includes a disruption or discontinuation in the delivery of primary power (i.e., power from a primary source, namely, a source other than the fuel cell system) to the one or more loads.
