Abstract
In a power conditioner, a DC-DC converter outputs an output of a first power source for which reverse power flow is permitted to a DC supply line, and a bidirectional DC-DC converter discharges an output of a second power source for which reverse power flow is not permitted to the DC supply line and, on the other hand, charges power of the DC supply line to the second power source. A DC-AC inverter converts DC power of the DC supply line to AC power and outputs the converted power to outside. When a power consumption of a load exceeds a rated output of the DC-AC inverter and a power generation amount of the first power source exceeds the rated output of the DC-AC inverter, a portion of surplus power of the first power source is charged to the second power source.
