Abstract
A power control apparatus includes: a direct current bus serving as a path for supplying direct current power; a first conversion apparatus that applies DC/DC conversion to direct current power from a power generator for generating power using natural energy, and outputs the resultant direct current power to the direct current bus; a second conversion apparatus that applies DC/DC conversion to the direct current power and charges a power storage unit with the resultant direct current power, and also applies DC/DC conversion to direct current power from the power storage unit and discharges the resultant direct current power to the direct current bus; a third conversion apparatus that applies DC/AC conversion to the direct current power from the direct current bus and supplies alternating current power to a power system and an alternating current load; and a controller that controls driving of the first to third conversion apparatuses.
