The present invention pertains to a fuel cell system provided with: a reformer that generates hydrogen-containing reformed gas according to a reforming reaction of a gaseous fuel; a fuel cell that generates power by using an oxidizing agent and the reformed gas; an oxidizing agent supply unit that supplies the oxidizing agent to the fuel cell; a flow rate measurement unit that measures the flow rate of the oxidizing agent supplied to the fuel cell; a current value measurement unit that measures the current value of the output current of the fuel cell; an ambient temperature measurement unit that measures the ambient temperature; and a control unit that pre-memorizes the quantity of oxidizing agent material per unit of time that should be supplied to the fuel cell according to the current value, determines a specified target value for the flow rate measurement unit so that the oxidizing agent is discharged to the oxidizing agent supply unit at a flow rate corresponding to the quantity of oxidizing agent material, in reference to the ambient temperature, and controls the oxidizing agent supply unit so that the flow rate measurement unit indicates the specified target value. The present invention also pertains to a method for operating the fuel cell system. |
