Claim:
A fuel cell power generation system, comprising: a reformer; a line for supplying to-be-reformed gas to the reformer; a line for supplying exhaust gas from a fuel cell module to the reformer; and a line for supplying a fluid to the reformer for controlling a temperature of the reformer independently of a temperature of the fuel cell module, wherein the reformer includes at least one flow channel connected to the line for supplying to-be-reformed gas and containing a reformation catalyst, at least one flow channel connected to the line for supplying exhaust gas from the fuel cell module and at least one flow channel connected to the line for supplying the fluid for controlling the temperature of the reformer, and wherein the at least one flow channel connected to the line for supplying to-be-reformed gas, the at least one flow channel connected to the line for supplying exhaust gas and the at least one flow channel connected to the line for supplying the fluid for controlling the temperature of the reformer are separated from one another by segregation walls.
