A power control apparatus includes a controller configured to control a fuel cell. The fuel cell generates power and heats water using fuel gas.The fuel gas supplies the power and hot water to a plurality of consumer facilities. The controller obtains an amount of the fuel gas used by the fuel cell. The controller obtains an amount of the hot water supplied to the plurality of consumer facilities. The controller calculates, based on the amount of the fuel gas and the amount of the hot water, an amount of the fuel gas used by each one of the plurality of consumer facilities.

A fuel cell system according to the present invention includes: a power generation unit (100); a hot water storage unit (102); a display (101), and a controller (105). A control device (201) of the display (101) is configured such that when an alarm signal is inputted from the controller (105), the control device (201) causes a display device (202) to display both thermal information and alarm information, the thermal information containing at least one of a set temperature of hot water supply from the hot water storage unit (102), a remaining hot water amount in the hot water storage unit (102), and an operation state of a heating device configured to heat hot water in the hot water storage unit (102), the alarm information indicating a content associated with the alarm signal. Thereafter, when an operating device (203) is operated, the control device (201) causes the display device (202) to display both the alarm information and detailed alarm information which indicates a more detailed content than the alarm information.

A system has: a stack (12) having anodes (10) supplied with anode fluid and cathodes (11) supplied with cathode fluid; an evaporating portion (2) generating steam by evaporating water; a water deliverer (80) delivering the water to the evaporating portion (2); and a reforming portion producing the anode fluid through steam-reforming on fuel using the steam generated by the evaporating portion (2). A controller (100) executes a determination process that determines whether an open circuit voltage of the stack (12) increases while the water is temporarily fed to the evaporating portion (2), when the stack (12) is restarted from a state where power generation of the stack (12) is suspended but the temperature of the evaporating portion (2) is a reference temperature being capable of generating steam, and if the open circuit voltage has increased or is on an increase, the controller (100) executes a restart process for resuming the power generation of the stack (12).
