Abstract
A method for a soft-start strategy of a fuel cell includes: providing a fuel cell, wherein the fuel cell is connected to load, providing a capacitor, wherein the capacitor is connected in between the fuel cell and the load, wherein the fuel cell includes an anode and a cathode and the anode and the cathode are in a preconditioned state, the method further including filling the cathode with a mass rate derived from a proportion of an input gas and a used gas, and a predefined current, such that the predefined current does not exceed a maximum current during a precharge of the capacitor.
