Abstract
The present invention includes a fuel cell mounted on a vehicle to generate electric power using oxidation gas and fuel gas being supplied thereto; an oil temperature sensor configured to detect oil temperature of a compressor; and a controller configured to control driving of the compressor, and also control pressure of the oxidation gas and pressure of the fuel gas being supplied to the fuel cell. The controller performs a control of decreasing rotational speed of the compressor when the oil temperature has exceeded an oil temperature threshold, and further performs a control of balancing the pressure of the oxidation gas and the pressure of the fuel gas. Therefore, it becomes possible to stably operate the fuel cell.
