A fuel cell system (200), wherein the fuel cell system (200) has: a) a fuel cell stack (10), b) an anode gas path (20) which fluidically communicates with the fuel cell stack (10) and which serves for supplying anode gas from an anode gas store (22) to the fuel cell stack (10), c) a cathode gas path (30) which fluidically communicates with the fuel cell stack (10) and which serves for supplying cathode gas from a cathode gas store (32) to the fuel cell stack (10), d) a cooling fluid path (40) which fluidically communicates with the fuel cell stack (10) and which serves for supplying cooling fluid from a cooling fluid store (42) to the fuel cell stack (10), e) a vibration generator (60) which is in data-transmitting communication with a control unit (50) and which serves for setting the fuel cell stack (10) into a vibrating state, and f) the control unit (50) for actuating the vibration generator (60) in order to set the fuel cell stack (10) into the vibrating state by means of the vibration generator (60).
A fuel cell system (200), wherein the fuel cell system (200) comprises:
A method of operating a fuel cell system (200) that includes a fuel cell stack (10), an anode gas pathway (20) in fluid communication with the fuel cell stack (10) for supply of the fuel cell stack (10) with anode gas from an anode gas reservoir (22), a cathode gas pathway (30) in fluid communication with the fuel cell stack (10) for supply of the fuel cell stack (10) with cathode gas from a cathode gas reservoir (32), a cooling fluid pathway (40) in fluid communication with the fuel cell stack (10) for supply of the fuel cell stack (10) with cooling fluid from a cooling fluid reservoir (42), a vibration generator (60) for setting the fuel cell stack (10) in a vibrating state, a control unit (50) in data communication with the vibration generator (60) and for actuating the vibration generator (60) to set the fuel cell stack (10) in the vibrating state via the vibration generator (60), and a water content sensor (202) in data communication with the control unit (50) for ascertaining the water content of a gas diffusion layer within the fuel cell stack (10), the method comprising:
