Abstract
A voltage regulator of a power generator device and an electronic control unit are connected through a communication line. The voltage regulator transmits power generator type identification information for specifying a type of the power generator device to the electronic control unit. The electronic control unit stores a plurality of control modes and selects one of the plurality of control modes based on the received power generator type identification information. The electronic control unit outputs a control signal to the regulator so that the voltage regulator regulates power generating operation of the power generator device in response to the control signal.
