Abstract
A power conversion apparatus () includes a plurality of power conversion units () each having a function of converting an input direct current voltage to a different direct current voltage, and a control unit () that controls the plurality of power conversion units () in accordance with a target value Vaim for the sum of voltages output from the plurality of power conversion units (). When making one or more of the power conversion units () output a first voltage which is fixed and making a different one of the power conversion units () output a second voltage which is adjusted in accordance with the target value Vaim, the control unit () repeatedly switches a power conversion unit () to output the second voltage at least between two of the power conversion units ().
