1. A power supply system that includes a power conversion circuit that is connectable to a power storage unit, the power supply system comprising:
a switch that is provided in the power conversion circuit;
a control unit that supplies a current between the power storage unit and the power conversion circuit by performing on-off control of the switch n the power conversion circuit; and
a heat transferring unit that absorbs heat that is generated in the power conversion circuit including the switch in accompaniment with the on-off control of the switch and transfers the heat to a temperature-increase target element, wherein
the control unit performs temperature-increase mode control in which the switch in the power conversion circuit is on-off controlled such that an amount of heat that is generated in the power conversion circuit including the switch is increased when a temperature-increase request for the temperature-increase target element is present, compared to when the temperature-increase request is not present.
