Abstract

A fuel cell chemically reacts a fuel gas and an oxidizing gas with each other to generate electricity. Accessories is for supporting the fuel cell in generating electricity. A battery for accumulates electricity and supplying the electricity to the accessories. A heating mechanism heats the oxidizing gas supplied to the fuel cell A controller sets a target temperature and a target heating time for the oxidizing gas heated with the heating mechanism, determines, when starting the fuel cell system, operating conditions of the heating mechanism according to a power balance derived from electric power consumed by the heating mechanism, electric power consumed by the accessories, available electric power of the battery, and electric power generated by the fuel cell, and controls the heating of the oxidizing gas supplied to the fuel cell according to the operating conditions.
