A fuel-cell system, particularly a fuel-cell system for a drive system of a motor vehicle, includes an autothermic reformer unit configured to generate hydrogen from a raw material. The hydrogen is used to operate a fuel-cell unit disposed downstream of the reformer unit. An oxidation device configured to convert carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide is disposed between the reformer unit and the fuel cell unit. A water injection device is disposed in the oxidation device and is configured to inject water into the oxidation device.

Fuel cell system and method for generating electrical energy using a fuel cell system

A fuel-cell system, particularly a drive system for a motor vehicle, includes an autothermal reformer unit for producing hydrogen from a raw material in order to operate a downstream fuel cell unit. An oxidation device for converting carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide is arranged between the reformer unit and the fuel-cell unit. The fuel-cell system further includes a two-stage compressor, which supplies a first pressure to a cathode of the fuel cell unit by a first stage and supplies a second pressure to the reformer unit by a second stage.
