PURPOSE:To provide a portable fuel cell power system excellent in startability and responsiveness, capable of reducing the capacity of the power system to about 1/5-1/3, and capable of being used for the on-vehicle use. CONSTITUTION:A fuel cell 2 using a solid polymer electrolyte membrane excellent in startability and responsiveness and a turbo-generator 1 using a catalyst burner 13 having small volume and weight per output are combined to obtain a power system for a vehicle. The average load of the vehicle is borne by the turbo-generator 1, and the fluctuated peak load is borne by the fuel cell 2 respectively. When the load becomes below the average load, the electric power from the turbo-generator 1 is fed to the fuel cell 2 for water electrolysis. The hydrogen and oxygen used when the electric power is generated by the fuel cell 2 are generated and stored. |
