Abstract:
A control method for fuel cell system capable of executing an idle stop operation is provided, in which operation power generation of a fuel cell is selectively stopped according to a required output of a load and cathode gas is intermittently supplied to the fuel cell during an operation stop. An upper limit value and a lower limit value of an output voltage of the fuel cell during the idle stop operation is set, the cathode gas is intermittently supplied with the output voltage of the fuel cell set at a value between the upper limit value and the lower limit value, a wet/dry state of the fuel cell is detected, a wet/dry appropriate range in which the wet/dry state of the fuel cell during the idle stop operation is appropriate is set, and it is determined whether or not the detected wet/dry state of the fuel cell is within the set wet/dry appropriate range. If the wet/dry state of the fuel cell is determined to be outside the set wet/dry appropriate range, the output voltage of the fuel cell is reset, and the cathode gas is intermittently supplied with the output voltage of the fuel cell set at a value between the upper limit value and lower limit value of the reset output voltage.

Claim (Index 16):
The control method for fuel cell system according to  claim 15 , wherein:\n the reset upper limit value of the output voltage of the fuel cell is returned to the upper limit value before the resetting after the output voltage of the fuel cell drops to or below the upper limit value of the output voltage before the resetting, in the setting returning step, if the detected wet/dry state of the fuel cell reaches the set target wet/dry degree or target wet/dry range.
