Abstract

A method for the combined controlled regulation of fuel gas-oxygen carriers of a gas operated energy converter plant (), in particular of a fuel cell plant, is provided in which the mass or volume through flow of the fuel gas () and/or of the oxygen carrier () is detected in order to regulate the mixing ratio (r) of fuel gas to oxygen carrier. In the method at least two physical parameters of the fuel gas are additionally determined using a micro thermal sensor (), for example, the mass flow and/or volume through flow of the fuel gas and the thermal conductivity or thermal capacity of the fuel gas are determined and a desired value for the mixing ratio is determined from the physical parameters which depends on the fuel gas or on the composition of the fuel gas, and which desired value is used for the regulation of the mixing ratio.
