Abstract
A fuel cell system for generating electric power by supplying an anode gas and a cathode gas to a fuel cell includes: an idle stop unit adapted to stop extraction of a current from the fuel cell in accordance with an operation state of the fuel cell system; and an idle stop recovery unit adapted to restart the extraction of the current from the fuel cell in accordance with the operation state of the fuel cell system. The idle stop recovery unit limits, on the basis of an output voltage of the fuel cell before recovery from idle stop, the current to be extracted from the fuel cell after the recovery from the idle stop.
