  • Publication number: 20230074852
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a power converter includes an inverter and a controller. The inverter operates in an interconnected operation mode in which a grid is connected to an electric load and an isolated operation mode in which the inverter is connected to the electric load, for generating power from a local power supply. The controller detects a frequency difference and a phase difference between an inverter output from the inverter and grid power. The controller calculates, based on the frequency difference and the phase difference, an output frequency pattern to be used for synchronizing the inverter output with the grid power. The controller controls, when switching from the isolated operation mode to the interconnected operation mode, a frequency of the inverter output based on the output frequency pattern.
