The measurement precision of a current detector of the fuel cell in a fuel
cell system is improved. Where the fuel cell system 20 has not started
operation, the vehicle 10 is operating under regenerative operation, the
fuel cell 21 is operating under intermittent operation, or operation of
the fuel cell system 20 has ended, the output terminal voltage of the
fuel cell 21 is set to the OCV value of 400V via the DC/DC converter 31.
As a result, even where the status of the fuel cell 21 changes from
operating to stopped, the value of the current flowing over the power
supply lines 411 can be immediately and reliably set to 0 A. The control
unit 60 then obtains the current value Ad from the fuel cell current
sensor 413 (step S150), and determines the offset correction value Ac
needed in order to cancel the drift amount (i.e., in order to perform
zero-point correction).
