<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a power generation system which can suppress an increase of a carbon monoxide concentration even when reduction of power to a fuel cell is required. <P>SOLUTION: The power generation system includes a reformer 100 for reforming fuel flowing from the upstream to the downstream side into hydrogen, a fuel pump P for supplying fuel to the reformer 100, the fuel cell 205 for generating power by the hydrogen generated by the reformer 100, a plurality of thermistor and electric heaters 31-34 arranged between the upstream and downstream sides of the reformer 100, a plurality of temperature detection parts 207 for detecting temperatures of the corresponding electric heaters 31-34, and a control part 209 for feed-back controlling the electric heaters 31-34 based on the detected temperatures by the corresponding temperature detection parts 207 and maintaining the temperatures of the electric heaters 31-34 at respective set temperatures. The control part 209 reduces a supply flow rate of the fuel pump P, and reduces the set temperatures of the plurality of electric heaters 31-34 from the downstream to the upstream side sequentially. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
