    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a power supply/demand device includes a virtual synchronous inverter and a storage battery. The virtual synchronous inverter is connected to a power system. Charging and discharging of the storage battery are controlled by the virtual synchronous inverter. The virtual synchronous inverter is connected to the power system in parallel with other inverters. The virtual synchronous inverter is capable of calculating a first standby time having any length and performing control of the storage battery corresponding to an operation instruction after a lapse of the first standby time, when receiving the operation instruction accompanied by output of power to the power system or input of power from the power system.

    Abstract: A spark discharge detection device includes a discharge detector, a waveform extension circuit, and determination circuit. The discharge detector includes a metal electrode that detects discharge between an electrode and a sliding body that is in contact with and sliding surface of the electrode. The waveform extension circuit configured to extend a discharge waveform output from the discharge detector in a time direction. The determination circuit configured to determine that discharge has occurred in the sliding body when a signal value exceeds a first threshold and a time during which the signal value exceeds the first threshold is held for a time longer than a first time for the output of the waveform extension circuit.

    Abstract: A bypass circuit of an embodiment includes a switch that shorts-circuit between a first power conversion apparatus and a power storage apparatus. The switch is connected in parallel to a second power conversion apparatus. The first power conversion apparatus converts power generated from natural energy and outputs the converted power to a power distribution grid. The second power conversion apparatus converts surplus power that has not been converted by the first power conversion apparatus and charges the power storage apparatus with the converted power; or converts power discharged from the power storage apparatus and supplies the converted power to the first power conversion apparatus.
