Abstract

See full text

There is provided a fuel cell system. This fuel cell system comprises a fuel cell configured to generate electric power using reactive gases; a voltage sensor configured to measure a voltage output from the fuel cell; a converter configured to boost an input voltage that is input from the fuel cell; and a controller configured to control the converter. In the case where the voltage output from the fuel cell to the converter is to be boosted after a changeover of an operating state of the fuel cell system from an intermittent operation to an ordinary operation, when a duty ratio D1 calculated by Mathematical Formula I is greater than a duty ratio D2 calculated by Mathematical Formula II, the controller causes the converter to boost the voltage output from the fuel cell at the duty ratio D2.
