Abstract
A fuel cell system includes a control unit that is configured to perform highland control for increasing an amount of electric power generated per unit time by a fuel cell and increasing a rotational speed of a compressor such that an operating point of the compressor falls outside a surging region, in comparison with a case where a highland condition that an outside air pressure determined from an outside air pressure-associated information is lower than an outside air pressure threshold determined in advance is not fulfilled, when the highland condition is fulfilled in starting electric power generation by the fuel cell.
