Abstract:
A fuel cell system comprising: a supply valve for supplying the anode gas into an anode system of the fuel cell system; a purge valve for discharging an off-gas from the anode system; a pressure detecting portion that estimates or measures a pressure inside the anode system; and a hydrogen concentration estimating portion that estimates a hydrogen concentration inside the anode system based on a pressure decrease during a purge valve open duration in a supply valve close state.
