A power supply system is provided that includes a fuel cell as its energy source and has not only high energy density but also high power density and can respond to sharp change in the power consumption with simple means. In a power supply system, a fuel cell is connected to the input terminal of a DC/DC converter, and a lithium-ion secondary battery and a load are connected to the output terminal in parallel. A voltage measurement device that measures the terminal voltage of the secondary battery and a control microcomputer that sets the target output voltage of the converter are provided, and the target output voltage is set slightly higher than the terminal voltage. The fuel cell is operated within a power generation condition offering the highest fuel conversion efficiency. Due to this configuration, the system composed of the fuel cell and the converter functions like a constant voltage/current source that outputs the power generated by the fuel cell with the voltage equal to the terminal voltage of the secondary battery. The excess/deficiency of this output current with respect to the current for driving the load is automatically adjusted by the charge/discharge of the secondary battery.

There is provided: a (meth)acrylic acid (salt) polymer which has high properties and is little colored; and a process which can produce this polymer with a high polymerization conversion without causing the corrosion of the reaction vessel. When a (meth)acrylic acid (salt) polymer is obtained by carrying out polymerization of an unsaturated monocarboxylic monomer (a) and an unsaturated polyalkylene glycolic monomer (b) with a polymerization initiator, either a redox polymerization initiator including hydrogen peroxide and a reducing agent is used as the polymerization initiator in a specific amount, or the unsaturated polyalkylene glycolic monomer is subjected to the polymerization in the form of an esterification reaction product as obtained by a process including the steps of: esterifying the unsaturated monocarboxylic monomer and a polyalkylene glycol in a specific charging ratio in the presence of an acid catalyst in a manner for a portion of the residual unsaturated monocarboxylic monomer as a starting raw material to remain; and then neutralizing the acid catalyst and the residual unsaturated monocarboxylic monomer (a) with a basic substance after the esterification; and the polymerization is carried out under conditions where the pH during the polymerization is in the range of 3.2 to 7.0.

The present invention provides a fuel cell system that has a fuel cell portion including one or more unit cells, a fuel tank for storing fuel used in the unit cells, and a control portion for controlling the fuel cell portion. The number of unit cells is optimized so that a total amount of energy, which is outputted from the fuel cell system as a function of the number of unit cells or of an electrode area, shows a maximum value or a nearly maximum value. Thus, the amount of energy may be maximized or made to be equal to or more than a predetermined value. Accordingly, target devices to be supplied with power from the fuel cell system may be used for a longer time.
