As the amount, as in the first embodiment, the maximum heat generation amount of the fuel cell stack 10 is set (step S310). Thus, when the temperature of the fuel cell stack 10 is lower than 0 ° C., the maximum heat generation amount is set as the required heat generation amount by raising the temperature to 0 ° C. or more in a shorter period of time and in a shorter period of time. This is to make the electric vehicle ready to travel.

- the lower part shows a second heat generation amount restriction map 63g.
- the horizontal axis indicates the vehicle speed
- the vertical axis indicates the heat generation amount.
- the horizontal axis indicates the accelerator opening
- the vertical axis indicates the heat generation amount.
- the first heat generation amount restriction map 63f associates the vehicle speed of the electric vehicle on which the fuel cell system 100 is mounted with the upper limit value of the required heat generation amount. For example, as shown in the upper part of FIG. 11, when the vehicle speed is V1, the upper limit value of the required heat generation amount is set to a10. Therefore, according to the first heat generation amount restriction map 63f, when the vehicle speed is V1, the required heat generation amount is limited to a10 or less.
- the upper limit value of the required heat generation amount is set to increase as the vehicle speed increases until the vehicle speed exceeds a predetermined speed V2. Yes.
- the upper limit value of the required heat generation amount is constant.
- the reason why the upper limit value of the required calorific value is set in this way is as follows.
- the exothermic demand is higher, more reaction of the above formula 1 occurs in order to further increase the concentration overvoltage.
- the amount of pumping hydrogen in the fuel cell stack 10 increases, the amount of air necessary for diluting the pumping hydrogen increases.
- the rotation speed of the air compressor 32 increases, noise and vibration increase, which gives a great discomfort to the occupant.
- the vehicle speed is high, noise and vibration associated with traveling such as road noise are relatively large, and thus noise and vibration associated with an increase in the rotational speed of the air compressor 32 are felt relatively small for the occupant.
- the upper limit value of the required calorific value is constant at a predetermined vehicle speed V2 or higher because the rotational speed of the air compressor 32 is increased at a certain speed or higher than noise and vibration associated with traveling such as road noise. This is because noise and vibration become larger.
- the second heat generation amount restriction map 63g shown in the lower part of FIG. 11 associates the accelerator opening of the electric vehicle on which the fuel cell system 100 is mounted with the upper limit value of the required heat generation amount. For example, as shown in the lower part of FIG. 11, when the accelerator opening is D1, the upper limit value of the required heat generation amount is set to a20. Therefore, according to the second heat generation amount restriction map 63g, when the accelerator opening is D1, the required heat generation amount is limited to a20 or less.
- the accelerator opening increases until the accelerator opening exceeds the predetermined opening D2, as in the first heat generation restriction map 63f. Therefore, the upper limit value of the required heat generation amount is also set to increase. In addition, when the accelerator opening is higher than the predetermined opening D2, the upper limit value of the required heat generation amount is constant.
- the reason why the upper limit value of the required calorific value is set in this way is as follows.
- the accelerator opening is larger, the occupant tries to increase the acceleration. Therefore, in this case, even if the noise and vibration accompanying the increase in the rotation speed of the air compressor 32 become larger, the noise and vibration accompanying the increase in acceleration are increased, so that the passenger hardly feels any sense of incongruity.
- the accelerator opening is small, the occupant intends to reduce the acceleration (that is, to maintain or decelerate the current speed). In this case, if the noise and vibration of the air compressor 32 are large, the passenger feels a strong sense of incongruity.
- the responsiveness is improved.
- the reason why the required heat generation amount is made constant at a predetermined accelerator opening D2 or more is that noise and vibration accompanying the increase in the rotation speed of the air compressor 32 become very large at a certain acceleration or more, so the passenger feels uncomfortable. It is because there is a possibility of giving.
- the operation control unit 61a determines the upper limit value of the required heat generation amount based on the vehicle speed and the upper limit value of the required heat generation amount based on the accelerator opening degree. Are compared to determine a smaller upper limit value, and a smaller one of the determined upper limit value and the maximum heat generation amount is determined as the required heat generation amount (step S330). Therefore, when the maximum heat generation amount is smaller than both the upper limit value of the required heat generation amount based on the vehicle speed and the upper limit value of the required heat generation amount based on the accelerator opening, the maximum heat generation amount is determined as the required heat generation amount.
- the required calorific value is reduced to one of these upper limit values. Is set.
- the steps S315 to S330 are executed because the fuel cell stack 10 is in a state where it is still not possible to output electric power that can realize the responsiveness that must be compensated for at a minimum. This is to satisfy both a request to raise the temperature of the fuel cell stack 10 and increase the output of the fuel cell stack 10 and a request to make the occupant feel as uncomfortable as possible because the electric vehicle is in a travelable state.
- step S315 NO

- the set value when the water content of the fuel cell stack 10 is medium is indicated by a curve Lm1
- the set value when the water content of the fuel cell stack 10 is relatively high is indicated by a curve Lh1.
- the warm-up target temperature is set to a higher temperature as the water content in the fuel cell stack 10 is larger. This is also the same reason that a higher warm-up target temperature is set as the start-up temperature is lower.
- the water content in the fuel cell stack 10 is determined by, for example, obtaining a correspondence relationship between the impedance and the water content of the fuel cell stack 10 in advance through experiments or the like, and setting the map when executing step S335. Ten impedances can be measured, and the moisture content can be determined with reference to a map based on the impedance value. In general, when the water content is low, the impedance increases, and when the water content is high, the impedance decreases. Further, for example, it can be obtained from various records at the time of the previous operation.
- the amount of water produced by the electrochemical reaction is obtained from the current value recorded during the previous operation, the FC supply air amount Afc during the previous operation, the temperature of the fuel cell stack 10, and the fuel cell stack 10

- the horizontal axis indicates the temperature of the fuel cell stack 10
- the vertical axis indicates the FC required heat generation amount.
- the FC required heat generation amount map 63h is a map in which the temperature of the fuel cell stack 10 and the FC required heat generation amount are associated with each other according to the water content in the fuel cell stack 10 at the time of starting.
- the set value when the water content in the fuel cell stack 10 at the time of start-up is relatively small is indicated by a curve L12.
- the set value when the water content of the fuel cell stack 10 is medium is shown by a curve Lm2
- the set value when the water content of the fuel cell stack 10 is relatively high is shown by a curve Lh2.
- the FC required heat generation amount is set to be smaller as the temperature of the fuel cell stack 10 is higher. This is because the higher the temperature of the fuel cell stack 10, the slower the temperature increase rate of the fuel cell stack 10, thereby suppressing the temperature of the fuel cell stack 10 from exceeding the warm-up end temperature. is there. Since wasteful low-efficiency operation can be suppressed by suppressing the temperature rise of the fuel cell stack exceeding the warm-up end temperature, the fuel efficiency of the reaction gas can be improved.
- the operation control unit 61a determines the required heat generation amount by adding the FC required heat generation amount determined in step S345 and the heating required heat generation amount (step S350).
- the FC required heat generation amount is determined (step S350).
- step S340 when it is determined that the temperature of the fuel cell stack 10 is equal to or higher than the warm-up target temperature (step S340: NO), the operation control unit 61a sets the heating required heat generation amount and the temperature of the fuel cell stack 10 to each other.
- the amount of heat added to the heat generation amount necessary for maintaining (hereinafter referred to as “FC temperature maintenance heat generation amount”) is determined as the required heat generation amount (step S355).
- the FC temperature maintaining heat generation amount is set in advance for each warm-up target temperature, and can be obtained by reading out the set value from the ROM 63.
- an amount of heat corresponding to the outside air temperature or the cabin temperature can be set as the FC temperature maintaining heat generation amount.
- the heating required heat generation amount is the same as the heating required heat generation amount in step S350 described above.
- the fuel cell system 100a of the third embodiment having the above configuration has the same effects as the fuel cell system 100 of the first embodiment.
- a larger calorific value is set as the required calorific value to such an extent that noise and vibration accompanying the increase in the rotation speed of the air compressor 32 do not give the passenger an uncomfortable feeling. Therefore, it is possible to satisfy both a request to further increase the rate of temperature rise of the fuel cell stack 10 and a request not to give the passenger a sense of incongruity caused by noise and vibration.
- the warm-up target temperature (warm-up end temperature)
- the lower the start-up temperature, and the higher the water content in the fuel cell stack 10 at start-up the higher the temperature is set.
- the amount of heat given to the fuel cell stack 10 itself by operation can be increased. Therefore, even in a situation where there is a lot of water in the fuel cell stack 10, such water can be discharged from the fuel cell stack 10 as water vapor.
- the FC required heat generation amount the larger the water content in the fuel cell stack 10 at the time of starting, the larger the heat generation amount is set, so even in a situation where there is a lot of water present in the fuel cell stack 10, Such water can be discharged from the fuel cell stack 10 as water vapor. Further, as the temperature of the fuel cell stack 10 is higher, a smaller heat generation amount is set as the FC required heat generation amount, so that the temperature increase speed of the fuel cell stack 10 can be made slower. Therefore, since it is possible to suppress the temperature rise of the fuel cell stack 10 beyond the warm-up end temperature, it is possible to suppress the execution of useless low-efficiency operation and improve the fuel efficiency of the reaction gas.

- the problem of not giving passengers to the passengers can be solved.
- FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram showing a procedure of FC required air amount determination processing in the fourth embodiment.
- the FC required air amount Afc determination process shown in FIG. 14 is executed as step S125 shown in FIG.
- the fuel cell system of the fourth embodiment differs from the fuel cell system 100 of the first embodiment in that the FC required air amount determination process shown in FIG. 14 is executed when determining the FC required air amount Afc.
- the configuration is the same as in the first embodiment.
- the operation control unit 61a calculates the FC required air amount Afc using the above equation 4 based on the target current value Iref determined in step S115 shown in FIG. 4 and the air stoichiometric ratio determined in step S120 (step S405).
- the operation control unit 61a determines whether or not a deceleration request is made (step S410). For example, when the target output value (target current value Iref ⁇ target voltage value Vref) is smaller than the current output value (current voltage value Vorg ⁇ current current value Iorg), a deceleration request is made. Can be determined. Further, for example, it can be determined whether or not deceleration is requested when the accelerator opening is reduced or when the brake is depressed.
- step S415 When it is determined that the deceleration is requested (step S415: YES), the operation control unit 61a determines that the difference in air amount between the FC required air amount Afc calculated in step S405 and the current FC supply air amount Afc_org is predetermined. It is determined whether or not the value is larger than the value Afc_c (step S415). When it is determined that the differential air amount is greater than the predetermined value Afc_c, the operation control unit 61a adds the predetermined value Afc_c to the current FC supply air amount Afc_org to determine the corrected FC required air amount Afc ′. (Step S420). Therefore, when the deceleration is requested as a result of steps S415 and S420, the increase amount of the FC required air amount Afc is limited to the predetermined amount Afc_c or less.
- the increase amount of the FC required air amount Afc is limited to the predetermined amount Afc_c for the following reason. Even if the electric vehicle decelerates and the required output decreases, the required heat generation amount does not decrease due to the temperature rise of the fuel cell stack 10, so the amount of decrease in the current value is small. In this case, the concentration overvoltage is increased to satisfy the required output and the required calorific value. As a result, the amount of pumping hydrogen is increased, so that the amount of air for dilution needs to be increased. There is a possibility that the number of rotations increases and noise and vibration increase.
- the increase amount of the FC required air amount Afc is limited to a predetermined amount Afc_c or less, so that the noise and vibration accompanying the increase in the rotation speed of the air compressor 32 To prevent the passenger from feeling uncomfortable.
- the predetermined value Afc_c can be set in advance by obtaining an air amount that does not make the passenger feel uncomfortable by experiments or the like.
- step S410 If it is determined in step S410 that the deceleration is not requested, or if it is determined in step S415 that the differential air amount is equal to or less than the predetermined value Afc_c, the FC required air amount determination process ends, and step S405 is performed.
- the air amount calculated in is set as the FC required air amount Afc.
- the fuel cell system of the fourth embodiment having the above configuration has the same effects as the fuel cell system 100 of the first embodiment.

- the uncomfortable feeling caused by noise and vibration at the time of deceleration request of the electric vehicle. can be solved.
- Modification 1 In the first to third embodiments, when the FC required air amount Afc is smaller than the insufficient air amount Alc, the insufficient air amount Alc is set as the supply air amount Aac. However, instead of the insufficient air amount Alc, the insufficient air amount Alc is set. An air amount different from the amount Alc can be set as the FC required air amount Afc. In this case, a map different from the insufficient air amount map 63e shown in FIG. 3 can be used as the insufficient air amount map.
- FIG. 15 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of setting contents of the insufficient air amount map in the first modification.
- the horizontal axis and the vertical axis are the same as the horizontal axis and the vertical axis in FIG.
- FIG. 15 shows a first insufficient air amount map 63x, a second insufficient air amount map 63y, and a third insufficient air amount map 63z in the first modification.
- the deficient air amount map 63e of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 3 is indicated by a broken line.
- the insufficient air amount map 63x As the insufficient air amount, an air amount that is larger by a predetermined amount than the insufficient air amount map 63e of the first embodiment is set when the outputable power amount of the secondary battery 220 is 50 kW or less. ing. Therefore, the supply air amount Aac of the air compressor 32 set in step S150 shown in FIG. 4 is larger than the air amount set in the first embodiment. With such a configuration, the supply air amount Aac can be made larger than the insufficient air amount Alc, so that a predetermined responsiveness can be realized with certainty.
- the supply air amount Aac of the air compressor 32 set in step S150 is not less than the air amount set in the first embodiment.
- an air amount smaller than the insufficient air amount map 63e of the first embodiment is set when the outputable power amount of the secondary battery 220 is 50 kW or less.
- the FC required air amount Afc is smaller than the insufficient air amount Alc
- the air amount larger than the FC required air amount Afc can be set as the supply air amount Aac of the air compressor 32. Therefore, the predetermined air supply responsiveness cannot be realized, but the air supply responsiveness can be improved as compared with the configuration in which the FC required air amount Afc is set as the supplied air amount Aac of the air compressor 32. Therefore, the output response and heat generation response of the fuel cell stack 10 can be improved.
- steps S335 to S355 are omitted, and when the temperature of the fuel cell stack 10 is 0 ° C. or higher and not higher than the warm-up target temperature, steps S315 to S330 can be executed. . Even in this configuration, since the upper limit value of the heat generation amount can be limited according to the vehicle speed and the accelerator opening, it is possible to prevent the passenger from feeling uncomfortable with noise and vibration.
- the bypass valve 44 and the pressure regulating valve 45 are used to control the flow rate ratio between the FC required air amount Afc and the bypass air amount Abp. However, it is also possible to control only one of them. In such a configuration, one valve used for controlling the flow rate ratio corresponds to the flow rate adjusting valve in the claims. That is, generally, out of the oxidant gas supplied from the oxidant gas supply unit, the flow rate of the oxidant gas from the oxidant gas supply path to the fuel cell, and the oxidant from the oxidant gas supply path to the bypass flow path A flow rate adjustment valve that adjusts the flow rate ratio with the gas flow rate can be employed in the fuel cell system of the present invention.
