Abstract
A DC power supply and distribution system is obtained that improves power distribution efficiency at a low-load factor while suppressing overall upsizing. The DC power supply and distribution system includes a main AC/DC converter and an auxiliary AC/DC converter connected in parallel to the main AC/DC converter and having a rated power capacity smaller than that of the main AC/DC converter, wherein when the absolute value of the DC output power is smaller than the absolute value of a threshold power set smaller than the rated power capacity of the auxiliary AC/DC converter, a first switching command for switching from the first operation mode to the second operation mode is generated for a power conversion unit.
