A power generating system comprised of a hydrogen fuel cell and rechargeable battery connected together in series to be used as a load following system without the use of a DC-DC converter. The hydrogen fuel cell's cathode air compressor is driven off of the output of this power generation system. This is made possible by the following innovations: A novel way to wire the systems in series with the use of switches and bypass diodes, a method to limit the system output voltage so that we do not exceed the maximum voltage of downstream components, and an isolated DC-DC converter to charge the rechargeable battery with the hydrogen fuel cell.
