Abstract
A method of hybrid power management is provided in the present invention, comprising steps of: providing a hybrid power output device being coupled to a load and comprising a fuel cell module and a secondary cell module; determining a plurality of threshold values, each representing one of output power modes of the hybrid power output device respectively; and monitoring a characteristic value output from the fuel cell module and comparing the characteristic value with the threshold values to determine one of the output power modes to supply power to the load. Moreover, the present invention further provides a system of hybrid power management using the foregoing method to control switches to select from the output power modes such as supplying power from the fuel cell module only, from both the fuel cell module and the secondary battery, or cutting off power supply to the load according to the power state of the fuel cell module.
