Original Abstract Submitted
A control device of a fuel cell system includes: a required value acquisition unit that acquires an oxygen-containing gas required value, which is an oxygen-containing gas flow rate to be supplied to a fuel cell stack; a pressure acquisition unit that acquires, from a pressure sensor, the pressure of oxygen-containing gas flowing through an oxygen-containing gas supply flow path; a pressure calculation unit that calculates a pressure change amount, which is an amount of change per predetermined time of the pressure acquired by the pressure acquisition unit; and a supply amount estimation unit. The supply amount estimation unit estimates the supply amount of the oxygen-containing gas supplied to the fuel cell stack, based on the pressure change amount, the volume of the oxygen-containing gas supply flow path, and the oxygen-containing gas required value.
