Abstract:
In a support member, m×n (n is an integer equal to or larger than 4) cylindrical storage battery cells are arranged in a trefoil formation structure comprised of m (m is an integer equal to or larger than 4) tiers along a first direction. Along a second direction in the support member, n storage battery cells are arranged in a first tier, n+1 storage battery cells are arranged in a second tier, n storage battery cells are arranged in an m−1th tier, and n−1 storage battery cells are arranged in a m-th tier. The n storage battery cells in the first tier are arranged inward of the n+1 storage battery cells in the second tier in the second direction, and the n−1 storage battery cells in the m-th tier are arranged inward of the n storage battery cells in the m-lth tier in the second direction.
Abstract:
A plurality of power conversion apparatuses individually outputs AC power based on power input from a plurality of power sources. A plurality of switches to output power to an independent output path is inserted into each of AC output paths of the plurality of power conversion apparatuses. A plurality of drive signal lines to transmit a drive signal from the plurality of power conversion apparatuses to the plurality of switches is provided. The plurality of drive signal lines has a coupling point. At a time of switching of the switch in order to release interconnection with the grid and to switch to an independent output, the power conversion apparatus determines itself to be a master device when a level of the drive signal line is inverted after switching of the switch and determines itself to be a slave device when the level is not inverted.
