Further, during the idle stop, intermittent supply of the fuel gas to the fuel electrode is performed at a basic supply interval that is set in advance and does not generate carbon dioxide at the oxidant electrode.

That is, the presence or absence of gas unevenness can be determined based on the amount of carbon dioxide generated on the cathode side.
- the carbon dioxide generation amount can be grasped by detecting the carbon dioxide emission amount from the cathode.

- the vertical axis represents the supply interval correction coefficient
- the horizontal axis represents the fuel cell temperature.
- step S220 the controller 400 corrects the basic supply interval using the supply interval correction coefficient, and sets this as the supply interval.
- the controller 400 supplies hydrogen at the set supply interval in step S120 of the flowchart of FIG.
- hydrogen can be supplied at a more appropriate interval by correcting the supply interval as described above.
- Example 2 The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in steps corresponding to steps S200 and S210 in FIG.
- the basic supply interval is corrected based on the wet state inside the fuel cell instead of the fuel cell temperature.
- the controller 400 reads the wetness inside the fuel cell.
- the degree of wetness may be detected by a known method. For example, it may be obtained based on AC impedance, or may be estimated from the temperature of the fuel cell at the start of idle stop.
- step S210 the controller 400 obtains a supply interval correction coefficient based on the wetness using the map shown in FIG.
- the vertical axis represents the supply interval correction coefficient
- the horizontal axis represents the wetness.
- the supply interval correction coefficient decreases as the wetness increases.
- the third embodiment is different from the first embodiment in steps corresponding to steps S200 and S210 in FIG.
- the basic supply interval is corrected based on the idle stop duration instead of the fuel cell temperature.
- the controller 400 reads the duration from the start of idle stop.
- the controller 400 obtains a supply interval correction coefficient based on the idle stop duration using the map in FIG.
- the vertical axis represents the supply interval correction coefficient
- the horizontal axis represents the idle stop duration. The longer the idle stop duration, the smaller the supply interval correction factor. That is, as the idle stop duration becomes longer, the supply interval gradually becomes shorter as shown in FIG.
- the supply interval is corrected according to the wetness in the same manner as in the second embodiment. However, compared with the second embodiment, there is an advantage that it is not necessary to measure the wetness. .
- Example 4 The fourth embodiment is different from the first embodiment in steps corresponding to steps S200 and S210 in FIG.
- the basic supply interval is corrected based on the fuel cell voltage instead of the fuel cell temperature.
- the fuel cell voltage used here is the voltage of the entire fuel cell stack 1.
- the cell voltage sensor 2 may be installed for each single cell to calculate the entire voltage, or the cell voltage sensor 2 may be installed for each cell group to calculate the entire voltage. Of course, you may provide the sensor which detects the voltage of the fuel cell stack 1 whole.

- the controller 400 obtains a supply interval correction coefficient based on the fuel cell voltage using the map in FIG. In FIG. 12, the vertical axis represents the supply interval correction coefficient, and the horizontal axis represents the fuel cell voltage. The higher the fuel cell voltage, the smaller the supply interval correction coefficient. This is because the higher the fuel cell voltage, the easier the oxidation reaction occurs and the cathode electrode is more likely to deteriorate, so the supply interval is shortened.
- FIG. 13 shows a time chart when Example 4 is executed.
- the upper row is the basic supply interval
- the middle row is the corrected supply interval
- the lower row is the fuel cell voltage. While the fuel cell voltage is maintained relatively high after the start of the idle stop, the supply interval is shorter than the basic supply interval by correction (between t1 and t2). Thereafter, when the fuel cell voltage decreases, the supply interval correction coefficient increases correspondingly to the decrease in the fuel cell voltage, and the supply interval becomes longer than between t1 and t2 (after t2).
- the hydrogen supply interval is set to be shorter under the condition that the amount of oxygen that cross leaks increases.
- the anode 1A has a basic supply interval that can suppress the generation of carbon dioxide at the cathode 1C set in advance during idle stop.
- this makes it possible to set the idle stop time longer and to improve the fuel consumption performance.
- the controller 400 corrects the basic supply interval so that the higher the fuel cell temperature, the shorter the supply interval. Therefore, even if the amount of nitrogen or oxygen cross leak from the cathode 1C to the anode 1A increases, the deterioration of the electrode catalyst is suppressed. Can do.
- controller 400 corrects the basic supply interval so that the supply interval becomes shorter as the fuel cell stack 1 gets wet, even if the amount of cross leak of nitrogen or oxygen from the cathode 1C to the anode 1A increases, the electrode catalyst Can be prevented from deteriorating.
- the controller 400 corrects the basic supply interval so that the supply interval becomes shorter as the idle stop duration becomes longer, the deterioration of the electrode catalyst is prevented even if the amount of nitrogen or oxygen cross leak from the cathode 1C to the anode 1A increases. Can be suppressed.
- the controller 400 corrects the basic supply interval so that the higher the cell voltage, cell group voltage, or total voltage of the fuel cell stack 1, the shorter the supply interval, thereby cross-leaking nitrogen or oxygen from the cathode 1C to the anode 1A. Even if the amount increases, deterioration of the electrode catalyst can be suppressed.
- the controller 400 prohibits the supply of hydrogen during idle stop, so that the pressure difference between the cathode 1C and the anode 1A becomes excessive, so that the electrolyte membrane 1B Deterioration can be prevented.
- the anode dead-end system according to the present embodiment is more likely to cause uneven distribution of nitrogen gas in the anode 1A from the normal operation as compared with a system that circulates the anode gas. Further, the gas uneven distribution cannot be eliminated by using the circulation device. Therefore, the effect of suppressing the uneven distribution of gas by the above control is extremely large.
- the system configuration and the hydrogen supply interval are the same as those in the first embodiment.
- the difference from the first embodiment is that when supplying hydrogen during idle stop, the supply flow rate is set according to the state of the fuel cell system.
- the setting of the hydrogen supply flow rate will be described.
- FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing a control routine for supplying hydrogen during idle stop executed by the controller 400 in the present embodiment. This control routine is repeatedly executed at intervals of about 10 milliseconds, for example.
- Steps S300, S310, S320, and S330 are the same as steps S100, S110, S120, and S130 in FIG.
- the basic supply interval used in step S310 is set based on an experiment conducted using the supply flow rate as a basic supply flow rate described later.
- step S315 will be described.
- step S315 the controller 400 sets the hydrogen supply flow rate according to the subroutine shown in FIG. That is, the size in the vertical axis direction of FIG. 6 is set.
- the time for which the supply is continued is the same as the duration for the basic supply interval.
- the subroutine in FIG. 15 corrects a preset basic supply flow rate. Similar to the basic supply interval, the basic supply flow rate is set by experiment for each specification of the electrolyte membrane.
- FIG. 16 is a diagram showing the relationship between the hydrogen supply flow rate obtained from the experiment and the amount of carbon dioxide generated at the cathode. The vertical axis represents the amount of carbon dioxide generated, and the horizontal axis represents the supply flow rate. As shown in FIG. 16, if the supply flow rate is F1 or more, carbon dioxide is not generated, but if the supply flow rate is less than F1, the carbon dioxide generation amount increases as the supply flow rate decreases. Therefore, the basic supply flow rate is set to F1 or more, for example.
- step S 15 is basically the same as the processing in steps S200, S210, and S220 in FIG. 5 except that the correction coefficient calculation map used in step S210 is different.
- various parameters can be used as in the first embodiment.
- step S400 the controller 400 reads the fuel cell temperature.
- step S410 the controller 400 obtains a correction coefficient based on the fuel cell temperature.
- the map shown in FIG. 17 is used.
- the vertical axis in FIG. 17 is the supply flow rate correction coefficient
- the horizontal axis is the fuel cell temperature. The higher the fuel cell temperature, the greater the supply flow rate correction coefficient.
- step S420 the controller 400 corrects the basic supply flow rate based on the supply flow rate correction coefficient. Thus, more hydrogen is supplied as the fuel cell temperature increases.
- Example 2 The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in steps corresponding to steps S400 and S410 in FIG.
- the basic supply flow rate is corrected based on the wet state inside the fuel cell instead of the fuel cell temperature.
- the degree of wetness is as described in step S200 of FIG.
- step S410 the controller 400 obtains a supply flow rate correction coefficient based on the wetness using the map shown in FIG.

The vertical axis represents the amount of carbon dioxide generated, and the horizontal axis represents the supply time. As shown in FIG. 25, if the supply time is F2 or more, carbon dioxide is not generated, but if the supply time is shorter than F2, the amount of carbon dioxide generated increases as the supply time becomes shorter. Therefore, the basic supply time is set to, for example, F2 or more.
