Abstract
A fuel cell power generation systemfor performing power generation using hydrogen-containing gas generated from a raw material containing a hydrocarbon component and an odorizer component includes a raw material supply sectionfor controlling a flow rate of the raw material; a water supply sectionfor supplying water; an adsorptive removal sectionfor causing the raw material to pass therethrough and adsorbing the odorizer component contained in the raw material; a reformerfor generating the hydrogen-containing gas by a reforming reaction of the raw material which has passed the adsorptive removal section and water supplied from the water supply section; a fuel cellfor performing power generation using the hydrogen-containing gas as a fuel; and an operating control section for, as an accumulated flow volume of the raw material supplied to the adsorptive removal sectionfrom the raw material supply sectionincreases, decreasing the flow rate of the raw material to be supplied to the adsorptive removal sectionfrom the raw material supply section, the flow rate being set with respect to an amount of power to be generated by the fuel cell
