Thus, when the permanent-magnet synchronous motor 3 is operating in the first operation mode (namely, the generator mode), the electricity generation winding 312 simultaneously generates a backward charging voltage that is fed through the second rectifier and filter circuit 313 to the charging circuit 71, and the charging circuit 71 then generates backward charging electrical energy supplied to the energy storage device 72. Meanwhile, the generation voltage generated by the stator windings 311 of the permanent-magnet synchronous motor 3 is fed through the first rectifier and filter circuit 641 to also supply to the charging circuit 71 to generate backward charging electrical energy for supplying to the energy storage device 72.
