The memory is configured to store a plurality of patterns having a plurality of control operations that are prioritized for a plurality of loads operated by consuming electric power. The selector is configured to select one of the patterns stored in the memory. The load controller is configured to operate the loads in order of priority on the basis of the control operation of the selected pattern while a total sum of power consumed by the loads does not exceed a target power value representing a value based on power suppliable by the electric generator.
