CONTROL DEVICE FOR FUEL CELL

PURPOSE:To mutually conform the temperature up completion timings of both cell cooling water and a reformer. CONSTITUTION:A first set value arithmetic part 23 and a second set value arithmetic part 16 calculate respective estimated temperature up times by the respective temperatures of cell cooling water and a reformer 10. A comparison part 25 compares the respective estimated temperature up times to each other and calculates respective target required times by the correction for shortening the time difference of the both. The first set value arithmetic part 23 and the second set value arithmetic part 26 calculate the corresponding set values of the cell cooling water and the reformer 10 from the respective target required times within the respective allowable temperature up areas of the cell cooling water and the reformer 10, and renew the set values every control period. A cooling water temperature control part 8 and 8 reformer continuous control part 22 control the temperature up of the cell cooling water on the basis of the temperature of the cell cooling water and the set value of the cell cooling water, and also control the temperature up of the reformer 10 on the basis of the temperature of the reformer 10 and the set value of the reformer 10.
