We assume that in the stationary mode, when the FCEVs are used to generate electricity for the microgrid, the fuel cells are only operated at partial load. In other words, the maximum power generation of a fuel cell in the stationary mode would be a small fraction of its nominal power. As a result, the on-board utilities of an FCEV would be
