Contactors and current sensors are connected in series to the power storage devices. Control devices capable of managing statuses of the power storage devices are provided in addition to the power storage devices, the contactors, and the current sensors, thereby forming unit power storage modules. The unit power storage modules are connected in parallel. An electrical load whose driving is controlled by using powers of the power storage devices is provided. The integration control device is connected to the electrical load and the control devices of the unit power storage modules.
