Abstract

A distributed-power-supply power conversion system includes a plurality of power inverters configured to invert DC power to AC power; and a control device configured to select at least one power inverter from the plurality of power inverters as a power inverter used for testing, and configured to perform an energization test of the power inverter used for testing in a state where an AC side of the power inverter used for testing is disconnected from a system, and is connected to an AC power supply device and to a load bank, and a voltage on the AC side of the power inverter used for testing is established. The distributed-power-supply power conversion system can perform an energization test of a power inverter before a system receives power.

Claims (11)

1. A distributed-power-supply power conversion system comprising:

a plurality of power inverters configured to invert DC power to AC power; and

a control device configured to select at least one power inverter from the plurality of power inverters as a power inverter used for testing, and configured to perform an energization test of the power inverter used for testing in a state where an AC side of the power inverter used kw testing is disconnected from a system, and is connected to an AC power supply device and to a load bank, and a voltage on the AC side of the power inverter used for testing is established.

2. A distributed-power-supply power conversion system comprising:

plurality of power inverters configured to invert DC power to AC power; and

a control device configured to select at least one power inverter from the plurality of power inverters as a power inverter used for maintaining voltage, configured to select, from the plurality of power inverters, a power inverter different from the power inverter used for maintaining voltage as a power inverter used for testing, and configured to perform an energization test of the power inverter used for testing, an AC side of the power inverter used for maintaining voltage and an AC side of the power inverter used for testing being disconnected from a system, and being connected with each other,

the control device selecting, as the power inverter used for maintaining voltage, the power inverter having a DC side to which a photovoltaic power generation facility is connected, selecting, as the power inverter used for testing, the power inverter having a DC side to which the photovoltaic power generation facility is connected, and controlling the power inverter used for maintaining voltage such that the power inverter used for maintaining voltage has a constant voltage on the AC side at a time of performing the energization test of the power inverter used for testing.

3. A distributed-power-supply power conversion system comprising:

a plurality of power inverters configured to invert DC power to AC power; and

a control device configured to select at least one power inverter from the plurality of power inverters as a power inverter used for maintaining voltage, configured to select, from the plurality of power inverters, a power inverter different from the power inverter used for maintaining voltage as a power inverter used for testing, and configured to perform an energization test of the power inverter used for testing, an AC side of the power inverter used for maintaining voltage and an AC side of the power inverter used for testing being disconnected from a system, and being connected with each other,

the control device selecting, as the power inverter used for maintaining voltage, the power inverter having a DC side to which a power storage facility is connected, selecting, as the power inverter used for testing, the power inverter having a DC side to which a photovoltaic power generation facility is connected, and controlling the power inverter used for maintaining voltage such that the power inverter used for maintaining voltage has a constant voltage on the AC side at a time of performing the energization test of the power inverter used for testing.
