1. A hydrogen production apparatus that produces hydrogen gas to be supplied to a hydrogen storage tank, the hydrogen production apparatus comprising a control circuit configured
to control an operation load ratio of the hydrogen production apparatus to a predetermined operation load ratio;
to increase the operation load ratio of the hydrogen production apparatus to a first operation load ratio larger than the predetermined operation load ratio at first timing; and
to decrease the operation load ratio of the hydrogen production apparatus to the predetermined operation load ratio from the first load operation ratio at second timing,
wherein an increase in the operation load ratio at the first timing takes precedence over a decrease in the operation load ratio at the second timing.
