Description
Here, it is assumed that a monitoring system is required per stack and thus one BMS is required to control them. It must be noted that this is assumed to be major simplification, while the process control system is a relevant component. In fact, the modeling of the process control system is a crucial aspect since electronics potentially show high impacts in several categories. Therefore, this major gap needs to be fulfilled by future research.
