Method, control program, computer-readable data carrier and control device for controlling a fuel cell arrangement, as well as fuel cell arrangement and vehicle comprising same

Abstract

A method for operating a fuel cell arrangement of a fuel cell system of a vehicle, such as an aircraft, a control program for controlling a fuel cell arrangement, a fuel cell arrangement and a vehicle, in particular aircraft, including a fuel cell arrangement, are disclosed. The method includes acquiring at least one reaction temperature value representing a reaction temperature at which a conversion of fuel, such as hydrogen, takes place within the fuel cell arrangement, acquiring at least one system temperature value representing a system temperature of the fuel cell arrangement, monitoring a temperature difference between the at least one reaction temperature value and the at least one system temperature value, and initiating at least one fuel starvation damage counter measure for avoiding a local fuel starvation state of the fuel cell arrangement if the temperature difference indicates a fuel starvation probability.
