Abstract
A DC/DC converter system includes a current sensor sensing a current flowing from a photovoltaic panel to a power converter device, and a DC/DC converter provided between a battery facility and the power converter device and configured to convert first DC power output from the battery facility into second DC power. The DC/DC converter includes a first operation mode in which the second DC power is generated to allow an output current and an output voltage to simulate the photovoltaic-cell current-voltage characteristics according to a current value sensed with the current sensor. The DC/DC converter may also include a second operation mode executing a boost operation of increasing a potential at a connection node, and a third operation mode in which a voltage at the connection node is converted to charge the battery facility. The DC/DC converter can selectively switch among the first, second, and third operation modes.
