Claim Text:
1. A power control device comprising: a first conversion part that converts DC voltage power into AC voltage power, the DC voltage power being output from a power generation part configured to generate power using natural energy; a second conversion part that converts the AC voltage power output from the first conversion part into DC voltage power; a controller that performs control to increase or decrease the DC voltage power output from the second conversion part based on a voltage value of the power output from the power generation part when the controller detects that supply of power from an external power system is stopped; an accumulation part that accumulates the DC voltage power output from the second conversion part; and a third conversion part that converts the DC voltage power output from the second conversion part into AC voltage power and that supplies the AC voltage power to a load, wherein the third conversion part outputs the AC voltage power from an output terminal connected to an autonomous output outlet when the controller detects that the supply of the power from the external power system is stopped, wherein the controller stops performing the control to increase or decrease the DC voltage power output from the second conversion part based on the voltage value of the power output from the power generation part when the controller detects that the power from the external power system is supplied; wherein the controller performs control to increase or decrease the DC voltage power output from the second conversion part; wherein the controller acquires the voltage value of the power output from the power generation part and determines whether the voltage value of the power output from the power generation part acquired is less than or equal to a first reference voltage value and whether the voltage value of the power output from the power generation part acquired is greater than or equal to a second reference voltage value; wherein the controller decreases the DC voltage power output from the second conversion part to decrease the power output from the power generation part when the voltage value of the power output from the power generation part is less than or equal to the first reference voltage value, and the controller increases the DC voltage power output from the second conversion part to increase the power output from the power generation part when the voltage value of the power output from the power generation part is greater than or equal to the second reference voltage value, the second reference voltage value being greater than the first reference voltage value; wherein the controller is configured such that when the controller increases the DC voltage power output from the second conversion part by a predetermined increasing amount and subsequently the controller has to decrease the DC voltage power output from the second conversion part, the DC voltage power output from the second conversion part is decreased by an amount identical to the predetermined increasing amount.
