Abstract
A fuel cell power generation apparatus (1) includes an installation environment information inputting section (25), a notification device (26) and a controller (23). The controller (23) is configured to set a first period between a maintenance time and a notification time based on the installation environment information input by an installation environment information inputting section.
Claims9
A fuel cell power generation apparatus for which maintenance is performed, comprising:
- an installation environment information inputting section which inputs installation environment information of the fuel cell power generation apparatus;
- a notification device which notifies that maintenance of the fuel cell power generation apparatus should be carried out, at a notification time set before a maintenance time of the fuel cell power generation apparatus;
- and
- a controller configured to set a first period between the maintenance time and the notification time based on the installation environment information input by the installation environment information inputting section;
- wherein the installation environment information inputting section inputs as the installation environment information, at least one of a signal input by a temperature detector disposed at an installation location of the fuel cell power generation apparatus, a signal input by a temperature detector disposed at a water supply passage connecting a water supply source to the fuel cell power generation apparatus;
- position information of a position at which the fuel cell power generation apparatus is installed, elevation information of an elevation at which the fuel cell power generation apparatus is installed, maintenance company information indicating a degree of easiness with which a maintenance company carries out the maintenance;
- and a special period derived based on an average air temperature and an average humidity for each predetermined time period in an environment in which the fuel cell power generation apparatus is installed.
