摘要： A fuel cell system includes a fuel cell, an operation controller and an air-conditioning mechanism. In response to a heating request for the air-conditioning mechanism during ordinary operation where the fuel cell is operated at an operating point on a current-voltage characteristic curve of the fuel cell, the operation controller compares a heat value-based required current value with an output-based required current value. When the output-based required current value is equal to or greater than the heat value-based required current value, the operation controller causes the fuel cell to be operated at an operating point on the current-voltage characteristic curve. When the output-based required current value is smaller than the heat value-based required current value, the operation controller controls the operating point of the fuel cell to an operating point of lower power generation efficiency than that of the operating point on the current-voltage characteristic curve.

摘要： A fuel cell system is equipped with an airflow meter that measures an amount of a supplied cathode gas, and a hydrogen circulation pump. A controller instructs the fuel cell to perform a preset reference operation, measures the power consumed by the hydrogen circulation pump, and determines the amount of the supplied cathode gas appropriate for the amount of power consumed by the hydrogen circulation pump. The controller then calculates, the measurement error in the airflow meter and correction value for the measurement error. The controller controls the amount of the supplied cathode gas based on the value measured by the airflow meter after being corrected with the correction value.

In response to a heating request for the air-conditioning mechanism during ordinary operation where the fuel cell is operated at an operating point on a current-voltage characteristic curve of the fuel cell, the operation controller compares a heat value-based required current value that is a current value of an operating point that is located on the current-voltage characteristic curve and satisfies a required heat value for the fuel cell with an output-based required current value that is a current value of an operating point that is located on the current-voltage characteristic curve and satisfies a required output for the fuel cell. When the output-based required current value is equal to or greater than the heat value-based required current value, the operation controller causes the fuel cell to be operated at an operating point on the current-voltage characteristic curve.
