<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fuel-cell power generator and its control method/control program that prevent breakage of power generation cells while suppressing temperature changes in a fuel-cell module. <P>SOLUTION: The fuel-cell power generator is at least provided with a fuel-cell stack 3 composed by laminating power generation cells while sandwiching each separator between the power generation cells, a means for supplying a fuel gas or an oxidant gas or the like, a switching means 11 that switches paths for outputting power, an inverter 12 connected to a first path of the switching means 11 while being linked with a power system and an external load, a power consumption means 13 connected to a second path of the switching means 11 so as to consume power, and a control means 5 for executing switching control of the paths of the switching means. When detecting a power failure of the power system or disconnection of the external load, the control means 5 switches the output to the second path so as to consume power by converting it into heat or the like while maintaining power generation conditions at an almost constant level. When detecting recovery from the power failure of the power system or recovery from the disconnection of the external load, the control means switches the output to the first path. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
