Abstract
Power is generated efficiently using fuel. A power generation unit includes a power generation module that generates power using fuel, a supply unit that supplies fuel to the power generation module, a power converter that converts DC power supplied by the power generation module into AC power, and a controller that controls the supply unit and the power converter. The controller controls the supply unit or the power converter so that the output power supplied to a load with fluctuating power consumption becomes greater than the power consumption of the load by a predetermined margin.
