  • Power conversion device and power conversion method
    Patent number: 9654036
    Abstract: There is provided a power conversion device including a plurality of Direct Current (DC) power sources (VB) that converts an output voltage of each of the DC power sources into an Alternating Current (AC) voltage, and outputs the converted AC voltage in series connection, and the device includes: a DC/DC converter (21) connected to each of the DC power sources (VB) to convert the output voltage of the DC power sources; a control device (31) that controls an output voltage of the each DC/DC converter (21); and an H-bridge circuit (22) provided on the output side of the DC/DC converter (21) to convert the voltage output from the DC/DC converter (21) into an AC voltage.
