Abstract
A fuel cell system includes a stacked assembly, a resonance determining unit, and a controller. The stacked assembly includes a plurality of unit cells stacked together. Each of the unit cells includes an electrolyte membrane, and a pair of electrodes between which the electrolyte membrane is sandwiched. The resonance determining unit is configured to determine whether vibration of the stacked assembly which occurs during running of a vehicle is within a resonance region of the stacked assembly. The controller is configured to change a natural frequency of the stacked assembly such that the vibration of the stacked assembly falls outside the resonance region, if the resonance determining unit determines that the vibration of the stacked assembly is within the resonance region.
