Abstract
This power supply device includes: a power interconnection path connecting a power interconnection port to a power conversion unit via a first switch; a stand-alone power supply path leading from an auxiliary input port via a second switch to an output port to which a load is connected; a storage-battery-side power supply path leading from a storage battery via the power conversion unit to the output port; and a control unit, the control unit causing the power conversion unit to charge/discharge the storage battery when interconnected with a commercial power grid, the control unit supplying power to the load via one of the stand-alone power supply path and the storage-battery-side power supply path when disconnected from the commercial power grid, the control unit switching the power supply path from the one to the other within an extremely short time period such as not to influence the load.
