Abstract
The present invention comprises individual fuel cellsdisposed within a fuel cell module; a reformer; a reformer temperature sensorand generating chamber temperature sensorfor detecting the reforming state temperature inside the reformer, and a control sectionfor controlling the fuel cell module operation. In a state whereby a stopping of fuel cell module operation has been executed from a high temperature, this control section skips the normal startup ATR and executes a restart control by the SR when the reforming state temperature is within the normal startup ATR temperature band and a restart of operation has been executed.
