1. An organic hydride generation system comprising:
an electrolytic bath having an anode electrode for oxidizing water to generate protons, a cathode electrode for hydrogenating a hydrogenation target substance with the protons to generate an organic hydride, an anode chamber accommodating the anode electrode, a cathode chamber accommodating the cathode electrode, and a diaphragm partitioning the anode chamber and the cathode chamber;
a main power supplier structured to supply power to the electrolytic bath;
an auxiliary power supplier structured to supply power to the electrolytic bath independently of the main power supplier;
a detector structured to detect a voltage between the anode electrode and the cathode electrode, a potential of the anode electrode, or a potential of the cathode electrode; and
a controller structured to control the supply of power to the electrolytic bath on the basis of a detection result of the detector,
wherein the controller controls the auxiliary power supplier so as to supply the power to the electrolytic bath when it is detected that the voltage has decreased to a specified voltage, the potential of the anode electrode has changed to a specified potential EAN1, or the potential of the cathode electrode has changed to a specified potential ECA1 during operation stop of the organic hydride generation system in which the power from the main power supplier is not supplied to the electrolytic bath.
