FUEL CELL POWER GENERATION SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR OPERATING FUEL CELL POWER GENERATION SYSTEM

摘要

A fuel cell power generation system 100 for performing power generation using hydrogen-containing gas generated from a raw material containing a hydrocarbon component and an odorizer component includes a raw material supply section 4 for controlling a flow rate of the raw material; a water supply section 3 for supplying water; an adsorptive removal section 5 for causing the raw material to pass therethrough and adsorbing the odorizer component contained in the raw material; a reformer 1 for generating the hydrogen-containing gas by a reforming reaction of the raw material which has passed the adsorptive removal section and water supplied from the water supply section; a fuel cell 8 for performing power generation using the hydrogen-containing gas as a fuel; and an operating control section for, as an accumulated flow volume of the raw material supplied to the adsorptive removal section 5 from the raw material supply section 4 increases, decreasing the flow rate of the raw material to be supplied to the adsorptive removal section 5 from the raw material supply section 4, the flow rate being set with respect to an amount of power to be generated by the fuel cell 8.
