  • Publication number: 20250233179
    Abstract: The control device of the fuel cell system performs a first operation of charging the battery with the generated electric power while supplying air to the fuel cell when the target value of the generated electric power of the fuel cell is higher than the current value of the generated electric power, and performs a second operation of charging the battery with the generated electric power of the fuel cell while supplying the air with the lower flow rate than the first operation when the target value of the generated electric power is lower than the current value of the generated electric power. When an amount of charge in the battery is larger than a reference amount of charge, perform a power supply stop operation of stopping power supply from the fuel cell to the battery.

  • Patent number: 12362373
    Abstract: A fuel gas supply system for a fuel cell includes an injector, an inlet pressure acquisition unit, a discharge valve, a hydrogen partial pressure acquisition unit, and a controller. The controller is configured to stop driving the injector when a hydrogen partial pressure reaches or exceeds a first upper limit value in a state where the injector is being driven, and start driving the injector when the hydrogen partial pressure falls to or below a first lower limit value in a state where the injector is stopped. The controller is configured to open the discharge valve when an inlet pressure reaches or exceeds a second upper limit value in a state where the discharge valve is closed, and close the discharge valve when the inlet pressure falls to or below a second lower limit value in a state where the discharge valve is open.

  • Publication number: 20250139537
    Abstract: A system includes a hotel server managed by a hotel, and a terminal possessed by a user. The terminal includes a storage unit and an advance check-in control unit. The storage unit stores reservation information of the hotel including a start date of stay and reservation holder identifying information that identifies a reservation holder of the hotel in association with each other. The advance check-in control unit asks the user to agree to provide the reservation holder identifying information to the hotel server a predetermined period before the start date of stay. When the user agrees to provide the reservation holder identifying information, the advance check-in control unit transmits the reservation holder identifying information to the hotel server as hotel guest identifying information that identifies a hotel guest staying at the hotel.

  • Patent number: 11611094
    Abstract: A fuel cell system is equipped with a control unit that controls a rotational speed of the turbo compressor that supplies air to an air supply flow passage and an opening degree of at least one valve that adjusts a flow rate and a pressure of the air supplied to a fuel cell such that an operating point of the turbo compressor becomes a target operating point. The control unit sets the target operating point within an operating point range that is on the higher flow rate side than at least part of a first region where an amount of change in flow rate is larger than a predetermined value when a pressure ratio of the turbo compressor is changed by a predetermined amount at a same rotational speed, on a higher flow rate side than a surging region, when a predetermined condition is fulfilled.

  • Patent number: 10930953
    Abstract: A control unit of a fuel cell system acquires a service operating point, repeats a process of calculating a distance between the service operating point and a surging region, while transferring an operating point of a turbo compressor from a first operating point to a second operating point outside the surging region, sets opening degrees of a pressure adjusting valve and a bypass valve such that the turbo compressor operates at a required operating point, when the distance exceeds a threshold, and corrects at least one of the opening degrees of the pressure adjusting valve and the bypass valve such that the at least one of the opening degrees becomes larger than an opening degree set such that the turbo compressor operates at the required operating point, when the distance is equal to or shorter than the threshold.

  • Patent number: 10756364
    Abstract: There is provided a fuel cell system comprising a fuel cell including an electrolyte membrane, an anode and a cathode; and a controller configured to control a fuel gas supply part and an oxidizing gas supply part to supply amounts of a fuel gas and an oxidizing gas corresponding to a required power, to the fuel cell. During an intermittent operation that has the required power equal to or lower than a predetermined value and stops power generation in the fuel cell, the controller estimates a crossover amount that is an amount of the fuel gas moved from the anode to the cathode through the electrolyte membrane. The controller also calculates a supply amount of the oxidizing gas that is an amount of the oxidizing gas to be supplied to the fuel cell, based on the estimated crossover amount and controls the oxidizing gas supply part to supply the calculated supply amount of the oxidizing gas to the fuel cell.
