Abstract
A fuel cell system for a load device may include a fuel cell, a battery, and a controller configured to control the fuel cell and the battery. The controller may be configured to: cumulatively calculate first accumulated electric energy generated by the fuel cell; cumulatively calculate a power generation efficiency average at the time of storage of the first accumulated electric energy; calculate required power generation efficiency to generate electric power that meets a power demand of the load device; under a first condition where the power generation efficiency average is lower than the required power generation efficiency, cause the fuel cell to generate electric power that meets the power demand; and under a second condition where the power generation efficiency average is higher, cause the fuel cell to generate electric power at a specific operating point and cause the battery to discharge deficient electric power.
