Assignee: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOSHIBA
Field: Electrical machinery, apparatus, energy (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 10:
11. A bypass circuit, comprising:
a switch configured to short-circuit between a first power conversion apparatus and a power storage apparatus, the switch being connected in parallel to a second power conversion apparatus, a third power conversion apparatus being connected in an input-side of the first power conversion apparatus,
the third power conversion apparatus converting power which is generated from natural energy,
the first power conversion apparatus converting power converted by the third power conversion apparatus and outputting the converted power to a power distribution grid,
the second power conversion apparatus converting surplus power that has not been converted by the first power conversion apparatus and charging the power storage apparatus with the converted power, or converting power discharged from the power storage apparatus and supplying the converted power to the first power conversion apparatus, and

a controller configured to control opening and closing of the switch
wherein the controller controls the switch based on a voltage that is output by the first power conversion apparatus,
the controller controls the switch based on a difference between the voltage that is output by the first power conversion apparatus and a first voltage,
a contact point between the switch and the first power conversion apparatus is connected to the power distribution grid via the first power conversion apparatus,
when the difference between the voltage and the first voltage is equal to or greater than a threshold, the controller closes the switch, and
the power storage apparatus is charged when the switch is closed if a voltage of the power distribution grid is larger than a standard value based on a power command value.
