Zusammenfassung:A fuel cell system has a reformer unit (1) for generating a reformate which is provided as a fuel for a fuel cell unit (4). The fuel cell system includes a sensor (5, 6, 7) for monitoring the quality of the reformate and a valve (9, 10) which can be controlled in dependence upon the sensor. Compared to conventional systems, the valve can react very rapidly to disturbances in the preparation of the reformate and can especially prevent that disturbances lead to damage of the fuel cell unit (4) and the electrical output power of the fuel cell unit continues to be controllable. This is achieved in that at least one storage unit (11) is provided for feeding fuel to the fuel cell unit (4) in dependence upon the quality of the reformate.
