A power supply management control unit 14 has a requested-amount-of-generated-electric-energy calculator 51 for calculating a requested amount of electric energy (Ifc_CAL) generated by a fuel cell stack 2 depending on a requested electric energy of an electric motor and an electric load other than the electric motor, an actual-amount-of-generated-electric-energy calculator 52 for calculating an actual amount of electric energy (Ifc_s) generated by the fuel cell stack 2 based on a current (Ifc) detected by a fuel cell sensor 30, and a target selector 53 for comparing the requested amount of electric energy (Ifc_CAL) and the actual amount of electric energy (Ifc_s) with each other, regarding the requested amount of electric energy (Ifc_CAL) as a target amount of generated electric energy (Ifc_REQ) for a fuel cell control unit 16 if the requested amount of electric energy (Ifc_CAL) is equal to or greater than the actual amount of electric energy (Ifc_s), and regarding the actual amount of electric energy (Ifc_s) as target amount of generated electric energy (Ifc_REQ) for the fuel cell control unit 16 if the actual amount of electric energy (Ifc_s) greater than the requested amount of electric energy (Ifc_CAL).

1. A fuel cell power supply device comprising:a fuel cell; reactive gas supply means for supplying reactive gases to the fuel cell; supplied-amount regulating means for regulating an amount of reactive gases supplied from said reactive gas supply means to said fuel cell; target-amount-of-generated-electric-energy determining means for determining a target amount of electric energy generated by said fuel cell depending on a requested electric energy of a load which is connected to said fuel cell; gas supply control means for performing a gas supply control process to enable said supplied-amount regulating means to regulate the amount of reactive gases supplied from said reactive gas supply means to said fuel cell in order to supply an amount of reactive gases greater than the amount of reactive gases depending on said target amount of electric energy; and actual-amount-of-electric-energy detecting means for detecting an actual amount of electric energy generated by said fuel cell; said gas supply control means comprising means for comparing said target amount of electric energy and said actual amount of electric energy with each other, and performing said gas supply control process using said actual amount of electric energy as said target amount of electric energy if actual amount of electric energy is greater than said target amount of electric energy. 2. A fuel cell power supply device according to claim 1, further comprising:electric storage means connected parallel to said fuel cell, for being charged with an output current from said fuel cell and discharged when the amount of electric energy generated by said fuel cell is smaller than said requested electric energy.
