Patent ID: 7438146

Claim:
A moving object equipped with a fuel cell comprising: a fuel cell system that includes the fuel cell; a switch that starts and stops the moving object; a movability determination module that determines whether the moving object is in an immovable state; a temperature-maintenance operation control module that detects a request to stop the fuel cell system via the switch, and when the movability determination module determines that the moving object is in the immovable state and the temperature-maintenance operation control module detects the request to stop the fuel cell system, the temperature-maintenance operation control module controls a state of operation of the fuel cell to ensure that the fuel cell system is maintained at or above a predetermined temperature, wherein the movability determination module determines that the moving object is in the immovable state at least when supply of electric power is electrically cut off by a cutoff circuit that electrically cuts off a supply of electric power to a generator that converts the electric power generated by the fuel cell to motive energy to drive wheels; and an alarm module that issues an alarm when the movability determination module determines that the moving object is in the movable state and the request to stop the fuel cell system is detected.
