Fuel cell control system

1. A method comprising:

receiving a first direct current (DC) signal at a first comparator from a positive bus of a split bus, wherein the split bus has a positive bus, a negative bus, and a neutral bus, and wherein the first DC signal is acquired from the positive DC bus relative to the neutral bus;

receiving a second direct current (DC) signal at a second comparator from a negative bus of the split bus, wherein the second DC signal is acquired from the negative DC bus relative to the neutral bus;

comparing the first DC signal to a first reference value to determine a first input signal;

comparing the second DC signal to a second reference value to determine a second input signal;

receiving at an inverter controller the first and second input signals;

applying by the inverter controller a control algorithm to determine, based at least in part on the first and second input signals, whether to adjust a magnitude of at least one of the first or second DC signals;

converting the first or second DC signals to an alternating current (AC) signal with the inverter; and

providing the AC signal to a load.

receiving the control signal from the inverter controller;

increasing or decreasing a magnitude of at least one of the first and second DC signals based at least in part on the control signal;

converting the first or second DC signals to an alternating current (AC) signal; and
