- the fuel cell system includes a fuel cell as a main body of the power generation unit.
- This fuel cell directly converts the chemical energy of the fuel gas and oxidant gas into electrical energy by a predetermined electrochemical reaction. Therefore, in the fuel cell system, the fuel gas and the oxidant gas are respectively supplied to the fuel cell during power generation operation. Then, in the fuel cell, a predetermined electrochemical reaction using the supplied fuel gas and oxidant gas proceeds, and electric energy is generated. The electric energy generated by the fuel cell is supplied to the load from the fuel cell system.

Therefore, even if air is mixed into a raw material such as natural gas that stays inside the fuel cell while the power generation operation is stopped, the rapid oxidation reaction does not proceed. Therefore, by injecting a raw material such as natural gas into the fuel cell, it is possible to effectively prevent the fuel cell system from being damaged by the reaction heat accompanying the oxidation reaction. As a result, it is possible to provide a fuel cell system that ensures safety during the stoppage of power generation operation.
