Abstract

A power generation control apparatus () includes a solar cell controller () and a range determinator (). The solar cell controller (), while changing at least one of an operation current and an operation voltage serving as driving variables within a first range, calculates actual power generated by a solar cell (). The solar cell controller () controls the solar cell () to generate power by using a driving variable that maximizes the generated power within the first range. The range determinator (), based on maximum generated power and at least one of a rated PV curve or an approximation line of the rated PV curve and a rated PI curve or an approximation line of the rated PI curve, updates the first range.
