Appeal No. 95-3362 Application 08/009,200 heat generating means powered by said generator for generating heat and supplying the generated heat to said heat load; and controlling means for controlling said heat generating means according to the load value of said external electrical power load detected by said detecting means, said controlling means comprising storing means for storing information indicating a relation between a load value of said generator and a heat quantity recovered by said heat load from said heat engine, and calculating means for calculating electrical power to be consumed by said heat generating means based on the relation stored in said storing means, so that the sum of heat quantities recovered by said heat load from waste heat of said heat engine and from generated heat of said heat generating means is a predetermined value, in response to said external electrical power load being a small load value and a heat quantity recovered by said heat load from said heat engine being less than the predetermined value. 5. A cogeneration system including a fuel cell, an external electric power load connected to said fuel cell, and a heat load whose heat source is waste heat generated by said fuel cell, comprising: detecting means for detecting a load value of said external electrical power load; heat generating means powered by said fuel cell for generating heat and supplying the generated heat to said heat load; and controlling means for controlling said heat generating means according to the load value of said external electrical power load detected by said detecting means, 3Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
