Abstract

A control unit calculates target power to be generated based upon a bypass engaging voltage used as a reference voltage at which a capacity adjustment circuit executes a capacity adjustment, and issues a power generation command for an inverter so as to generate the target power if it is decided that the capacities of the individual cells need to be adjusted.
