Abstract:
An abnormality detection device for a grid interconnection relay to detect an abnormality of the grid interconnection relay upon switching to grid independent operation, and includes an abnormality detector to execute commercial power system voltage determination of determining whether or not there is a commercial power system voltage, and first voltage determination to be executed if it is determined that there is no commercial power system voltage through the commercial power system voltage determination, of causing the power conditioner to chronologically alternately output monitor voltages having different values in a state where a contact of the grid interconnection relay is controlled to open and executing abnormality determination as to the grid interconnection relay according to whether or not each of the monitor voltages is followed by difference between a voltage of the power conditioner and voltage of the commercial power system with respect to corresponding one of the monitor voltages.
