POWER GENERATION SYSTEM AND POWER GENERATION SYSTEM OPERATION METHOD

摘要

A power generating system (14) includes power generator (2), housing (3) that houses power generator (2), air supply unit (4) that supplies outside air into housing (3), intake air temperature detector (5) that detects the temperature of intake air, fuel channel (7) that allows fuel to flow, a seal member for preventing fuel from leaking from fuel channel (7), heating unit (9) that performs heating the seal member, and control device (10) that operates heating unit (9). Control device (10) controls the operation of heating unit (9) based on the operation of air supply unit (4) and a temperature detected by intake air temperature detector (5) so as to reduce the hardening of the seal member. Consequently, it is possible to provide power generating system (14) that can reduce a decrease in temperature of the seal member so as to secure the sealability of fuel channel (7), thus achieving stable power generation.
