Abstract:
A fuel cell system includes: a fuel cell which generates electricity using hydrogen and oxygen; a hydrogen storage which stores hydrogen supplied to the fuel cell and which has a supply port connectable to a hydrogen supply unit for supplying hydrogen from outside the fuel cell system; a detector which detects a leakage of the hydrogen from the hydrogen storage; and a connection controller which regulates connection of the hydrogen supply unit to the supply port when the leakage of the hydrogen is detected by the detector.
