A fuel cell power plant comprises plural fuel cell stacks ( 10 A- 10 B) capable of generating power independently, and a warm-up circuit ( 33 ) which can independently warm up the fuel cell stacks ( 10 A- 10 C). A controller ( 14 ) estimates a required output power of the power plant within a predetermined time from when the vehicle starts running (S 121 -S 127 ), and determines the number of fuel cell stacks satisfying the required output power (S 106 ). The controller ( 14 ) economizes energy required for warm-up of the fuel cell stacks while providing the required output power by warming up only the determined number of fuel cell stacks before the vehicle starts running. |
