Abstract
It has been expected that more economical power generation could be performed using a fuel cell. The present invention provides a fuel cell power generation apparatus including a fuel cell 1 for generating power and heat to be supplied to a consumption point, storing means 11 of storing data on past patterns of time variations of power and/or heat consumption at the consumption point, power controlling means 12 of performing control for regulating power generation carried out based on the stored data and flow rate controlling means 4.
Claims16
A cogeneration apparatus, comprising:
- power and heat generating means of generating power and heat to be supplied to a consumption point;
- storing means of storing data on past patterns of time variations of power and/or heat consumption at said consumption point;
- and
- controlling means of performing control for regulating said generation of power and/or heat to be performed, based on said data stored.
A cogeneration method, comprising:
- power and heat generating step of generating power and heat to be supplied to a consumption point;
- a storing step of storing data on past patterns of time variations of power and/or heat consumption at said consumption point;
- and
- a controlling step of checking said stored data, anticipating variations in consumption of power and/or heat to occur at said consumption point, and starting control for regulating said generation of power and/or heat to be performed.
