Abstract:
A fuel cell generation system comprising:a reforming apparatus reforming material fuel and generating reformed gas that is hydrogen rich; a fuel cell causing a reaction between oxygen containing gas and the reformed gas supplied from the reforming apparatus and generating power; a reformed gas flow rate control section controlling a flow rate of the reformed gas flowing from the reforming apparatus so that an operating pressure of the reforming apparatus is equal to a target pressure thereof; a reformed gas flow rate detecting section detecting a flow rate of the reformed gas flowing into the fuel cell; a target load current calculating section calculating a target load current taken out of the fuel cell in accordance with the flow rate of the reformed gas detected by the reformed gas flow rate detecting section so that an operating pressure of the fuel cell is equal to a target pressure thereof; an inlet pressure detecting section detecting an inlet pressure of the fuel cell; a target load current correction quantity calculating section calculating a load current correction quantity in accordance with a deviation between the inlet pressure of the fuel cell detected by the inlet pressure detecting section and the target pressure of the fuel cell; and a correction quantity adding section adding the target load current calculated by the target load current calculating section and the load current correction quantity calculated by the target load current correction quantity calculating section.
