Patent ID: 7824814

Claim:
A power generation control system for a fuel cell comprising: a target output power computing unit for computing a target output power of the fuel cell; an output power control unit for taking output power from the fuel cell based on the target output power computed by the target output power computing unit; a gas control output parameter computing unit for computing an output parameter for controlling supply of reactant gas to the fuel cell as a signal preceding the target output power in time; a gas control unit for controlling an operating point for the supply of reactant gas based on the output parameter computed by the gas control output parameter computing unit; an operation condition detecting unit for detecting a value of at least one of pressure of the reactant gas supplied to the fuel cell, temperature of the reactant gas supplied to the fuel cell, atmospheric pressure, and temperature of cooling water for the fuel cell; and a gas-supply-system delay estimating unit for estimating a delay in a response of a reactant gas supply system based on the detected value of the operation condition detecting unit.
