Abstract

An electric power supply system 100 comprises a battery 10 that generates heat by discharging an electric power, and a fuel cell system 20 that generates the electric power by fuel cells 21. The electric power supply system 100 supplies power to an electric load. The electric power supply system 100 determines whether or not a temperature of the battery 10 is equal to or less than a predetermined temperature, and when the temperature of the battery is equal to or less than the predetermined temperature, the electric power supply system 100 discharges the battery 10 to the fuel cell system 20.
