HYDROGEN GENERATION SYSTEM, FUEL CELL SYSTEM, AND FUEL CELL AUTOMOBILE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hydrogen generation system which is suppressed in the amount of by-product gases generated and generates a necessary amount of hydrogen.

SOLUTION: The hydrogen generation system HGS is provided with a container (tank) 21 which holds a hydrogen storage material 30 which generates by-product gases in an amount which depends on the temperature, a temperature adjustment means (heating and cooling apparatus) 22 which adjusts the temperature in the container 21, and a control means (hydrogen generation controller HGC/thermometer 25) that estimates the quantity of by-product gases generated in the tank 21 and controls the temperature adjustment means 22 according to the estimated quantity.
