A fuel cell stack A includes: a stacked plurality of cell modules M, each of the plurality of cell modules M including a stacked plurality of single cells 20, each of the plurality of single cells 20 including a membrane electrode assembly 33 sandwiched between a pair of separators 40, 41; a pair of end plates 10, 11 that sandwich the plurality of cell modules M in the stacking direction; sealing plates P1 to seal a reactant gas, disposed between the plurality of cell modules M and between outermost cell modules M and the end plates 10, 11; and a voltage measuring terminal PT protruding to the outside of cells, formed in at least one of the sealing plates PI. Therefore, the voltage at a desired portion can be measured without any additional sealing structure.

A fuel cell system includes: a cathode pressure control unit configured to control a pressure of a cathode gas to be supplied to the fuel cell stack on the basis of a load of the fuel cell stack; and an anode pressure control unit configured to control a pressure of an anode gas to be supplied to the fuel cell stack to become higher than the pressure of the cathode gas so that a differential pressure between the pressure of the anode gas and the pressure of the cathode gas becomes a predetermined differential pressure or lower. The anode pressure control unit controls, at a time of recovery from idle stop, the pressure of the anode gas to be supplied to the fuel cell stack to a recovery-time pressure, the recovery-time pressure being obtained by adding the predetermined differential pressure to a predetermined pressure corresponding to an atmosphere pressure.

In order to make a power generation quantity of a cell for fuel cell increase in a short time when a drop in moistness of the cell causes the power generation quantity of the cell to decrease, a cathode of the cell includes a conductive material, catalyst, and ionomer which covers the conductive material and catalyst. If an output voltage value VFC of the cell is lower than a predetermined threshold voltage value VFCTH and an electrical resistance value RFC of the cell is higher than a predetermined threshold resistance value RFCTH, control for increasing an oxidizing gas amount which increases an amount QOFC of oxidizing gas sent to the cell is performed.

An object is to suppress drying of a fuel cell during continuous operation with high load. There is provided a fuel cell system including a fuel cell. The fuel cell system comprises an impedance detector that is configured to detect an impedance of the fuel cell; and a current limiter that is configured to limit an output current of the fuel cell with a limiting rate. The current limiter changes the limiting rate, based on the detected impedance.

A system and method for controlling operation of a fuel cell system of a fuel cell vehicle, to reduce an amount of heat generated by one or more heat sources in the fuel cell system, are provided. The method comprises obtaining a value of power output of the fuel cell system, the value indicating a power demand from the fuel cell system during operation of the vehicle; and adjusting a value of a target coolant inlet temperature of a coolant at a coolant inlet of the fuel cell stack to vary between a first target temperature level and a second target temperature level, in dependence on the value of the power output, to optimize a duration of time during which the target temperature is different from the first target temperature level and to optimize a value of one or more parameters related to operation of the fuel cell system.

A supply path (22) of hydrogen gas in a fuel cell system (1) connects a plurality of fuel cell stacks (10A, 10B) in series with each other. The supply path (22) includes a downstream supply path (22B) configured to supply the fuel cell stack (10B) on a downstream side with exhaust gas of hydrogen gas supplied to the fuel cell stack (10A) on an upstream side, without circulating the exhaust gas to the fuel cell stack (10A) on the upstream side, and a circulating path (24B) configured to circulate exhaust gas from the fuel cell stack (10B) on the downstream side to the fuel cell stack (10B) on the downstream side.
