Abstract
In a power conversion apparatus that has adopted a DC-linkage system, the connection to a load is switched depending on the output characteristics of the power-supply device, to thereby flexibly operate power supply from each power source. The disclosed power conversion apparatus includes: a plurality of connection terminals for connecting the DC power-supply devices; a plurality of voltage transducers connected in series to the plurality of connection terminals; a plurality of DC power output lines electrically independent from one another; a switch for selectively connecting the plurality of voltage transducers and the plurality of DC power output lines with each other; and a controller for controlling the switch, according to the operating state of at least either the plurality of DC power-supply devices or loads connected to the plurality of DC power output lines.
