Abstract
A fuel cell system and the method of controlling the fuel cell system improve next-time startability in the following manner. Hydrogen, air, generation water, and the like that remain inside a large-sized fuel cell system needs to be removed after finishing operation of the large-sized fuel cell system, such as a fuel cell system for generating electric power. To the present end, when an air compressor needs to be operated, one fuel cell module is selected as a power supply module, and an air compressor is operated by the power supply module. Thus, durability of a fuel cell stack is improved, and at the same time, a constant amount of generated electricity necessary to restart the large-sized fuel cell system is ensured.
