Abstract:
1. A generated power output measuring apparatus comprising: a load unit connected to a connecting wire between a power generator using natural energy and a power conditioner configured to supply electric power of the power generator to an external load, the load unit being configured to draw a current from the power generator; a measuring unit configured to measure a voltage and current of the power generator via the load unit; and a control unit configured to increase the current flowing through the load unit and cause the measuring unit to measure the voltage and current of the power generator without stopping the power conditioner while the voltage measured by the measuring unit is in a range of operating voltage of the power conditioner, wherein the control unit is configured to set a period of time during which the current is flown into the load unit after an input voltage into the power conditioner falls to a stop voltage of the power conditioner shorter than a period of time between when the input voltage into the power conditioner falls to or below the stop voltage of the power conditioner and when the power conditioner stops.
