Abstract
A fuel cell power plant stops anode gas supply to a fuel cell stackby an anode gas supply mechanismwhen an anode gas pressure in the fuel cell stackreaches an upper limit pressure, and resumes supplying the anode gas by the anode gas supply mechanismwhen the anode gas pressure in the fuel cell stacklowers to a lower limit pressure. A sensor-detects if a hydrogen supply amount supplied to the fuel cell stacksatisfies a required amount to generate a target generated power, and a controllercorrects the lower limit pressure in an increasing direction when the hydrogen supply amount does not satisfy the required amount, thereby suppressing a generated power of the fuel cell stackfrom reducing even when a flooding takes place in the fuel cell stack
