1. A power generation system comprising:
- a plurality of power generation units;
a plurality of corresponding energy storage units connected to the power generation units;
a plurality of switch units for connecting or disconnecting the power generation units and the energy storage units; and
a controller for controlling the switch units to disconnect one power generation unit from the corresponding energy storage unit when the one power generation unit stops operating and to connect the disconnected energy storage unit to one operating power generation unit of the plurality of power generation units based on states-of-charge of the corresponding energy storage units,wherein the controller is used to further connect the disconnected energy storage unit to the one operating power generation unit based on distances from the disconnected energy storage unit to the operating power generation units.

Abstract
A power generation system comprising a plurality of power generation units; a plurality of energy storage units; a plurality of switch units for connecting or disconnecting the power generation units and the energy storage units; and a controller for controlling the switch units to disconnect one or more idle power generation units from their corresponding energy storage units when the idle power generation units stop operating and to connect the disconnected energy storage unit to one operating power generation unit of the plurality of power generation units based on states-of-charge of the energy storage units. The power generation system may make best use of the energy storage units.
