Abstract:
1. A fuel cell system comprising: a fuel cell including a plurality of unit cells, each of the plurality of unit cells including a reactive electrode and an internal gas flow channel configured to supply a reactive gas to the reactive electrode, wherein the reactive gas is supplied via the internal gas flow channel to thereby implement an electric generation, the electric generation by the fuel cell starting at a time that corresponds to a start point of a time-series transition of a current extracted from the fuel cell, a current sensing section configured to sense the current extracted from the fuel cell; a gas supplying section configured to supply the reactive gas to the fuel cell; a differential pressure sensing section configured to sense a differential pressure between a pressure of the reactive gas on an inlet side of the fuel cell and a pressure of the reactive gas on an outlet side of the fuel cell; a determining section programmed to a controlling section programmed to
