Abstract
This fuel cell system comprises a fuel cell (FC) (1), a motor (2), a first power line (3) that connects the FC (1) and the motor (2), a battery (4), and a second power line (5) that connects the battery (4) and the first power line (3). The first power line (3) is provided with an FC relay (7) that opens and closes the first power line (3), and the second power line (5) is provided with a battery relay (8) that opens and closes the second power line (5). In order to place an upper limit on the output of the FC (1) and the battery (4), a control means (ECU) (10) that controls the opening/closing of both relays (7, 8) is provided. When the charge rate of the battery (4) being monitored is less than 30%, the ECU (10) implements control to close both relays (7, 8).
