AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing power generation units, particularly those with solid oxide fuel cells, generate significant operating noise due to auxiliary equipment, posing a noise pollution risk.
Method used
Incorporating a vibration power generation unit that converts vibrations and sounds into electricity, and a noise reduction unit that uses this generated electricity to output control sounds to cancel out noise, thereby reducing audible noise without consuming fuel cell-generated power.
Benefits of technology
Effectively reduces noise emissions from power generation units by utilizing internal vibrations and sounds, minimizing external noise pollution while conserving fuel cell-generated power.

Abstract
The present invention reduces noise emitted from a fuel power generation unit, by using at least one of vibrations and sound generated by the power generation unit. According to the present invention, a power generation unit (1) includes a fuel cell module (31) and auxiliary equipment (32, 33, 35) in a container (11). The power generation unit (1) includes a vibration power generation unit (23) that generates electric power from at least one of vibrations and sound generated by the power generation unit (1), and a noise reduction unit (20) that is operated by the electric power generated by the vibration power generation unit (23), and reduces noise emitted from the power generation unit (1).
