Abstract:
A voltage conversion apparatus converts a voltage of an electricity generator. The voltage conversion apparatus includes a maximum power tracking portion that is adapted to output a voltage which is output by the electricity generator to an external device at a predetermined ratio such that an operation point of the electricity generator tracks an optimal operation point at which power of the electricity generator reaches a maximum level, and a voltage output portion that is adapted to output a voltage which is output by the electricity generator to the external device when the maximum power tracking portion is not being operated normally.
Abstract:
A power generation control device is electrically connected to a photovoltaic panel for controlling an output voltage of the photovoltaic panel. The power generation control device includes a scanning unit, configured to perform a scanning process in which the output voltage of the photovoltaic panel is sequentially changed in a predetermined voltage range. The predetermined voltage range is changed in accordance with the photovoltaic panel.
