  • Power generation device
    Patent number: 11050346
    Abstract: A power generation device is characterized in that: charging and discharging circuits constituted by a first DC power supply and a second DC power supply each comprising a DC power supply are connected to a capacitor circuit that is constituted by one capacitor and the other capacitor each comprising a single capacitor or a plurality of capacitors; the configuration of the capacitor circuit can be switched to a first mode circuit or a second mode circuit by an operation switch, said first mode circuit storing charge in both capacitors from the charging circuit via a high-voltage relay, said second mode circuit storing charge in only the one capacitor; and the connection configuration of the capacitor circuit in which charge is stored is switched to a series connection by a switching switch driven by a switching driving power supply constituted by the DC power supply to reduce the combined capacitance of the capacitor circuit, thereby supplying the increased charge to the discharging circuit via the high-volta
