Computer system and a method for controlling a fuel cell system

A computer-implemented method for controlling a power system comprising a fuel cell system and an electric energy storage system, the fuel cell system comprising a power conversion and distribution circuitry configured to convert and deliver electric power generated by the fuel cell system to the electric energy storage system and to a power consumer, the method comprising:

• predicting, by processing circuitry of a computer system, a power request for power delivery from the fuel cell system;
• monitoring, by the processing circuitry, an operating voltage of the power system;
• detecting, by the processing circuitry, based on the monitored operating voltage, an upcoming event during which a power capability of the fuel cell system is expected to be insufficient to deliver power in accordance with the predicted power request;
• determining, by the processing circuitry, if a selection criterion for selecting a first operating mode of the fuel cell system during the upcoming event is fulfilled, wherein, in the first operating mode, a temporarily increased output current from the fuel cell system is enabled to comply with the predicted power request;
• and
• activating, by the processing device, the first operating mode in response to determining that the selection criterion is fulfilled.
