Abstract
A power management technique for a power bus includes a method and apparatus employing a Faraday electrical energy sink for a power bus. In general, the technique powers a power bus from a fuel cell plant when the actual voltage of the power bus is less than or equal to a nominal voltage for the power bus and sinks power from the power bus into the fuel cell plant when the actual voltage exceeds the nominal voltage.
