A switching operation of two switching elements is controlled by a
controller. Specifically, by adjusting the duty ratio concerning the
lower switching element, a capacitor voltage is controlled to a target
value. This control is executed not only by simply performing a PI
control with respect to the capacitor voltage based on a deviation from
the target value, but also by performing feedback control with respect to
battery power and output energy. Further, a scheduling factor based on
battery voltage, capacitor voltage, and the like is employed to control
the gain of the feedback control.
