A power conversion portion (10) and a connection portion (20) converting
power between a fuel cell (FC) and a battery (BAT) corresponding to dc
power supply and a motor generator (MG) corresponding to an ac machine,
are configured of a matrix converter. For a power flow pattern requiring
that the dc power supply provide high voltage, a switch (SCd) in the
connection portion (20) operates in response to a control signal received
from a control device (30) to electrically connect a power supply line
(LC) to a power supply line (Ld) to connect the fuel cell (FC) and the
battery (BAT) in series.
