Abstract: A power conversion device includes a conversion circuit, a grid forming control circuit, a grid following control circuit, a modulation circuit, a switching circuit, a phase synchronization processing circuit, an initial value computing circuit, and a synchronization adjusting circuit. When a switching signal instructing switching from grid forming control to grid following control is received, the phase synchronization processing circuit computes a synchronous phase by phase synchronization processing for which an amplitude of a grid voltage is used as input. The initial value computing circuit computes an initial amplitude command value based on the amplitude of the grid voltage and the synchronous phase. The synchronization adjusting circuit sets the initial amplitude command value to be an initial value of a command value of an amplitude of an output voltage in the grid following control after switching from the grid forming control.

Abstract: A power conversion device is disclosed in which a grid following amplitude command value and a grid following phase command value are output in response to receiving a switching signal instructing switching from grid following control to grid forming control. The grid following amplitude command value indicates a target value of an amplitude computed by the grid following control. The grid following phase command value indicates a target value of a phase computed by the grid following control. When the grid following control is switched to the grid forming control, an initial value of the target value of the amplitude in the grid forming control to be the grid following amplitude command value is set, and an initial value of the target value of the phase in the grid forming control to be the grid following phase command value is set.
