<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a solid oxide fuel cell system, capable of attaining energy saving by suppressing increase in purchased power from a commercial power source. <P>SOLUTION: This system comprises a solid oxide fuel cell 4, an inverter 6 for converting generated power to AC power, a load power detection means for detecting a load power, a power consumption means 34 for consuming part of the generated power from the solid oxide fuel cell 4, a switching means for controlling conduction of the power consumption means 34, and a control means 62 for controlling the solid oxide fuel cell 4 and the switching means 60. For a set time after a sudden drop of load power of a power load 8, the control means 62 controls the fuel cell 4 so as to maintain the generated power constant, and retains the switching means 60 in a conduction state, so that part of the power from the fuel cell 4 is consumed by the power consumption means 34. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
