    Abstract: A hybrid-type working machine includes a plurality of electric loads and an electric storage part supplying an electric power to a motor generator and the electric loads. A priority setting part sets a priority to each electric load. A supply power computing part computes an available electric power, which can be supplied from the motor generator and the electric storage part to the electric loads. A total power computing part computes a total electric power amount by summing electric power amounts requested by the electric loads. A power distributing part compares the available electric power with the total electric power amount, and, when the available electric power is larger than the total electric power amount, determines a distribution ratio of electric power amounts to be supplied to the respective electric loads based on the priority to limit the electric power amounts supplied to the electric loads.
