Abstract

A fuel cell system includes a compressor configured to adjust a flow rate of cathode gas to be supplied to a fuel cell and a pressure regulating valve configured to adjust a pressure of the supplied cathode gas. The fuel cell system further includes a controller programmed to calculate a target pressure of the supplied cathode gas while taking into consideration a load of the fuel cell and a heat protecting requirement of the fuel cell system, calculate a target flow rate of the supplied cathode gas in accordance with the load of the fuel cell and the target pressure of the cathode gas, and control the compressor and the pressure regulating valve in accordance with the target pressure and the target flow rate. The controller is further programmed to increase the target flow rate of the cathode gas as the target pressure of the cathode gas becomes lower.
