Abstract
A fuel cell system which includes: a fuel cell fed with a reaction gas for generating power; an output detection unit which detects output current and voltage of the fuel cell; a storage unit which stores a standard current-voltage characteristic of the fuel cell, from which a standard voltage of the fuel cell at an output current thereof is obtainable; and a gas feed mismatch detection unit which detects a gas feed mismatch of the reaction gas, based on a comparison between the detected output voltage of the fuel cell and the standard voltage at the detected output current, obtained from the standard current-voltage characteristic stored.
