A method of controlling a hydrogen fuel cell includes, with a controller of the fuel cell, measuring an anode leak rate for the fuel cell, modelling, using the measured anode leak rate, an effective electrolyte membrane orifice size, calculating, using the...

Included are: a basic operation plan creating section 2 configured to create a basic operation plan based on durable years (e.g., 10 years) and a durable operating time (e.g., 40000 hours) of a fuel cell 1, such that the fuel cell 1 is operated within the ...
