    Abstract: A power conversion device includes a switch connected to an AC system; an AC/DC converter; and a DC/DC converter. A control unit compares an absolute value of an AC voltage target value based on the AC voltage with a DC voltage target value based on the storage battery voltage, and executes, on the basis of a magnitude relation of the values, a control method such that a period during which step-up operation is performed through switching operation mainly using one of the AC/DC converter and the DC/DC converter, and a period during which step-down operation is performed through switching operation mainly using the other one of the converters, alternately arise. When starting charging/discharging of the storage battery, the control unit causes the switch to close at zero cross timing of the AC voltage, and thereafter, causes charging/discharging to start from the switching operation through which the step-down operation is performed.

    Abstract: Control is performed such that, for generating an AC voltage from a DC voltage, a period during which a DC/DC converter boosts the DC voltage and an inverter performs one of polarity non-inversion passing and polarity inversion passing, and a period during which the DC/DC converter is stopped and the inverter performs step-down operation and one of polarity non-inversion passing and polarity inversion passing, arise alternately in one AC cycle. Gate blocking is temporarily performed for only the DC/DC converter, upon occurrence of a phenomenon in which, by start of power feeding to a load connected to an AC electric path, an absolute value of a current flowing through an AC reactor reaches a predetermined converter gate block threshold value lower than an instantaneous overcurrent protection threshold value.

    Abstract: This abnormality detection method for a single-phase AC input voltage is executed by a control unit having a function of a phase locked loop, and includes: sequentially generating a simulated voltage waveform with a phase synchronized with the input voltage, by using the phase locked loop; and within a period until a next update of the generated simulated voltage waveform, comparing the instantaneous value of the input voltage with the simulated voltage waveform, and when the instantaneous value of the input voltage changes from a state of being along the simulated voltage waveform to a state of not being along the simulated voltage waveform, determining that the input voltage is abnormal.
