Abstract:
A grid connection power conversion device having isolated operation function for connecting a distributed power supply to a commercial power system is provided which comprises an inverter for converting DC power to AC power, a capacitor connected between the inverter and the commercial power system, a commercial voltage amplitude detection circuitry, an amplitude adjustment circuitry to increase an amplitude of an output voltage from the inverter stepwise from a given value to match the amplitude of the commercial system voltage, and a start-up control circuitry to control the grid connection power conversion device so that after the amplitude adjustment circuitry adjusts the amplitude of the output voltage from the inverter, after the start-up, to match the amplitude of the commercial system voltage detected by the commercial voltage amplitude detection circuitry, the start-up control circuitry connects the inverter to the commercial power system to start grid-connected operation.
