Abstract
A power supply management control unithas a requested-amount-of-generated-electric-energy calculatorfor calculating a requested amount of electric energy (Ifc_CAL) generated by a fuel cell stackdepending on a requested electric energy of an electric motor and an electric load other than the electric motor, an actual-amount-of-generated-electric-energy calculatorfor calculating an actual amount of electric energy (Ifc_s) generated by the fuel cell stackbased on a current (Ifc) detected by a fuel cell sensor, and a target selectorfor comparing the requested amount of electric energy (Ifc_CAL) and the actual amount of electric energy (Ifc_s) with each other, regarding the requested amount of electric energy (Ifc_CAL) as a target amount of generated electric energy (Ifc_REQ) for a fuel cell control unitif the requested amount of electric energy (Ifc_CAL) is equal to or greater than the actual amount of electric energy (Ifc_s), and regarding the actual amount of electric energy (Ifc_s) as target amount of generated electric energy (Ifc_REQ) for the fuel cell control unitif the actual amount of electric energy (Ifc_s) greater than the requested amount of electric energy (Ifc_CAL).
