    摘要: A method for operating a fuel cell power generation system is presented and includes sequentially resting fuel cell modules corresponding to a designated reference module number, from among all fuel cell modules of the fuel cell power generation system, during a designated number of cycles while operating remaining fuel cell modules, gradually reducing a number of the fuel cell modules sequentially rested during the cycles from the reference module number, whenever average performance of the fuel cell modules is sequentially reduced by exceeding designated reference levels configured to be sequentially set, and repairing or replacing the fuel cell modules when the average performance of the fuel cell modules is reduced by a designated lower limit or more.

    摘要: A fuel cell system includes a fuel cell stack including fuel and air electrodes, a fuel gas supply module configured to supply hydrogen and oxygen, as fuel gases, to the fuel cell stack, a fuel gas supply line including channels through which the fuel gases are supplied to the fuel cell stack, a humidification module disposed in the fuel gas supply line and configured to supply moisture to the fuel gases, and a controller configured to control the fuel gas supply line such that the fuel gases bypass the humidification module and are directly supplied to the fuel cell stack when temperature of the fuel cell stack is determined low at an initial stage of operation of the fuel cell stack, and the fuel gases pass through the humidification module and are supplied to the fuel cell stack when the temperature reaches a normal temperature.
