PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a power supply system which is provided with a fuel reforming type fuel cell, in which poisoning of a power generation cell can be suppressed, and in which miniaturization and cost reduction can be realized. SOLUTION: A dummy power generation cell 200 of low performance prone to be poisoned is installed between a CO remover 104 and the power generation cell 105, and used as a sensor to detect carbon monoxide concentration in a reformed gas which is generated by the CO remover 104. In the case elevation of the carbon monoxide concentration contained in the reformed gas is detected by reduction of an output voltage of the dummy power generation cell 200, a control part 100 route-sets both of a switching valve 201 and the switching valve 202 respectively onto bypass route sides, and shuts down supply of the reformed gas to the power generation cell 105. By this, the poisoning of the power generation cell 105 can be suppressed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
