図１は、本発明の実施の形態１にかかる電力変換装置の構成を示す図であり、より詳細には、実施の形態１にかかる電力変換装置を太陽光発電システムに適用した場合の一例を示す図である。 Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating the configuration of the power conversion device according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and more specifically, an example in which the power conversion device according to the first embodiment is applied to a photovoltaic power generation system. FIG.

図１に示す太陽光発電システムは、太陽電池モジュール１と、この太陽電池モジュール１の直流出力を交流に変換する電力変換部２と、分電盤３と、を備えている。   The solar power generation system shown in FIG. 1 includes a solar cell module 1, a power conversion unit 2 that converts the DC output of the solar cell module 1 into AC, and a distribution board 3.

電力変換部２は筐体２０を有しており、筐体２０内には、インバータ２１、電源回路２２、インバータ制御回路２３、売買電力演算部２４、保護回路２５、電圧センサ２６、連系リレーＲｙ１，Ｒｙ２、およびメインリレーＲｙ３，Ｒｙ４が収容されている。   The power conversion unit 2 has a housing 20, and in the housing 20, an inverter 21, a power supply circuit 22, an inverter control circuit 23, a trading power calculation unit 24, a protection circuit 25, a voltage sensor 26, and an interconnection relay Ry1, Ry2 and main relays Ry3, Ry4 are accommodated.

インバータ２１は、太陽電池モジュール１から出力される直流電力を交流電力に変換する。電源回路２２は、例えばＤＣ／ＤＣコンバータ等であり、太陽電池モジュール１の出力電圧（直流電圧）を電圧変換してインバータ制御回路２３に出力する。インバータ制御回路２３は、電源回路２２から供給される電力を電源として、インバータ２１を制御する。なお、太陽電池モジュール１が発電を行っていない場合（例えば、夜間等）には、インバータ２１、電源回路２２、およびインバータ制御回路２３は動作しない。   The inverter 21 converts the DC power output from the solar cell module 1 into AC power. The power supply circuit 22 is, for example, a DC / DC converter or the like, and converts the output voltage (DC voltage) of the solar cell module 1 to output it to the inverter control circuit 23. The inverter control circuit 23 controls the inverter 21 using the power supplied from the power circuit 22 as a power source. In addition, when the solar cell module 1 is not generating power (for example, at night), the inverter 21, the power supply circuit 22, and the inverter control circuit 23 do not operate.

分電盤３は、電灯分電盤用協約形配線用遮断器の寸法（分電盤協約寸法）の器体３０を有し、この器体３０内には単相３線の幹線電灯線Ｌ１，Ｌ２，Ｎが通っている。この幹線電灯線Ｌ１，Ｌ２，Ｎの一端は商用電源に連なっており、他端は電力変換部２に接続されている。これにより、商用電源と電力変換部２との系統連系が実現される。なお、電力変換部２は、商用電源の停電時や太陽電池モジュール１の異常出力時に、連系リレーＲｙ１，Ｒｙ２、メインリレーＲｙ３，Ｒｙ４により、商用電源との系統連系が遮断される。   The distribution board 3 has a container body 30 having the dimensions of a circuit breaker for a light distribution board (a distribution board agreement dimension), and a single-phase three-wire main power line L1 in the container body 30. , L2, N pass. One end of the main line L1, L2, N is connected to a commercial power source, and the other end is connected to the power converter 2. Thereby, the grid connection between the commercial power source and the power conversion unit 2 is realized. In the power conversion unit 2, the grid connection with the commercial power supply is interrupted by the interconnection relays Ry 1, Ry 2 and the main relays Ry 3, Ry 4 at the time of a power failure of the commercial power supply or an abnormal output of the solar cell module 1.

幹線電灯線Ｌ１，Ｌ２，Ｎの電力変換部２側にはブレーカ３１が、幹線電灯線Ｌ１，Ｌ２，Ｎの商用電源側にはブレーカ３２が、それぞれ設けられている。また、幹線電灯線Ｌ１，Ｎのブレーカ３１とブレーカ３２との間にはブレーカ３３が、幹線電灯線Ｌ２，Ｎのブレーカ３１とブレーカ３２との間にはブレーカ３４が、それぞれ設けられている。これらのブレーカ３１〜３４は器体３０内に収納されている。ブレーカ３４から延在する単相２線の電灯線の先端には、コンセント４が接続されている。   A breaker 31 is provided on the power conversion unit 2 side of the main line L1, L2, N, and a breaker 32 is provided on the commercial power source side of the main line L1, L2, N. Further, a breaker 33 is provided between the breaker 31 and the breaker 32 of the main line L1, N, and a breaker 34 is provided between the breaker 31 and the breaker 32 of the main line L2, N. These breakers 31 to 34 are accommodated in the container 30. An outlet 4 is connected to the tip of a single-phase two-wire electric wire extending from the breaker 34.

さらに、分電盤３の器体３０内には、商用電源と幹線電灯線Ｌ１との間に流れる電流および商用電源と幹線電灯線Ｌ２との間に流れる電流をそれぞれ検出するカレントトランス等の電流センサ３５，３６が収容されている。電流センサ３５，３６の設置位置および電流の検出位置は、ブレーカ３２とブレーカ３３，３４との間である。   Further, in the body 30 of the distribution board 3, a current such as a current transformer that detects a current flowing between the commercial power supply and the main power line L1 and a current flowing between the commercial power supply and the main power line L2 are detected. Sensors 35 and 36 are accommodated. The installation position of the current sensors 35 and 36 and the detection position of the current are between the breaker 32 and the breakers 33 and 34.

電力変換部２内の電圧センサ２６は、幹線電灯線Ｌ１と幹線電灯線Ｎとの間の電圧および幹線電灯線Ｌ２と幹線電灯線Ｎとの間の電圧を検出する。保護回路２５は、電圧センサ２６によって検出された幹線電灯線Ｌ１と幹線電灯線Ｎとの間の電圧および幹線電灯線Ｌ２と幹線電灯線Ｎとの間の電圧が所定の電圧以上の場合には、インバータ２１および太陽電池モジュール１、または連系を保護するため、インバータ２１を停止させる指示をインバータ制御回路２３に出力する。一般に、電力変換装置は幹線電灯線の電圧を検出する電圧センサを備えているので、その電圧センサを電圧センサ２６として利用すれば、電圧センサ２６を別個新たに備える必要はない。   The voltage sensor 26 in the power conversion unit 2 detects a voltage between the main power line L1 and the main power line N and a voltage between the main power line L2 and the main power line N. When the voltage between the main power line L1 and the main power line N and the voltage between the main power line L2 and the main power line N detected by the voltage sensor 26 are equal to or higher than a predetermined voltage, the protection circuit 25 In order to protect the inverter 21 and the solar cell module 1 or the interconnection, an instruction to stop the inverter 21 is output to the inverter control circuit 23. In general, since the power conversion device includes a voltage sensor that detects the voltage of the main power line, if the voltage sensor is used as the voltage sensor 26, there is no need to newly provide the voltage sensor 26 separately.

売買電力演算部２４は、通信部２４ａと、演算部２４ｂと、を含んでいる。演算部２４ｂは、電流センサ３５，３６によって検出された商用電源と幹線電灯線Ｌ１との間に流れる電流および商用電源と幹線電灯線Ｌ２との間に流れる電流、並びに、電圧センサ２６によって検出された幹線電灯線Ｌ１と幹線電灯線Ｎとの間の電圧および幹線電灯線Ｌ２と幹線電灯線Ｎとの間の電圧に基づいて、商用電源との間で売買される電力量である売買電力量を算出する。なお、演算部２４ｂが、例えばインバータ制御回路２３の出力信号に基づいて、インバータ２１が出力する電力量である出力電力量、インバータ２１が出力した電力の積算量である積算出力電力量、インバータ２１の通算運転時間を算出するようにしても良い。また、演算部２４ｂが、幹線電灯線Ｌ１，Ｌ２，Ｎに接続された電気機器によって消費された電力量である消費電力量を更に算出することとしても良い。   The trading power calculation unit 24 includes a communication unit 24a and a calculation unit 24b. The arithmetic unit 24b detects the current flowing between the commercial power source and the main power line L1 detected by the current sensors 35 and 36, the current flowing between the commercial power source and the main power line L2, and the voltage sensor 26. Trading power amount that is the amount of power traded with the commercial power source based on the voltage between the main power line L1 and the main power line N and the voltage between the main power line L2 and the main power line N Is calculated. Note that the calculation unit 24b, for example, based on the output signal of the inverter control circuit 23, the output power amount that is the amount of power output by the inverter 21, the integrated output power amount that is the integrated amount of power output by the inverter 21, and the inverter 21 The total operation time may be calculated. Moreover, the calculating part 24b is good also as calculating further the power consumption which is the power consumed by the electric equipment connected to the trunk line L1, L2, N.

売買電力演算部２４は、幹線電灯線Ｌ１，Ｌ２，Ｎを介して供給される電力を電源として動作する。例えば、太陽電池モジュール１が発電を行っている場合（例えば、日中等）には、売買電力演算部２４は、太陽電池モジュール１によって発電される電力を電源として動作することができる。また、太陽電池モジュール１が発電を行っていない場合（例えば、夜間等）には、売買電力演算部２４は、商用電源から供給される電力を電源として動作することができる。   The trading power calculator 24 operates using power supplied via the main power lines L1, L2, N as a power source. For example, when the solar cell module 1 is generating power (for example, during the daytime), the trading power calculation unit 24 can operate using the power generated by the solar cell module 1 as a power source. Further, when the solar cell module 1 is not generating power (for example, at night), the trading power calculation unit 24 can operate using power supplied from a commercial power source as a power source.

通信部２４ａは、演算部２４ｂによって算出された情報を情報処理装置（例えば、ＰＣ（パーソナルコンピュータ）等）に送信し、情報処理装置は、演算部２４ｂによって算出された情報を表示する。なお、通信部２４ａが、演算部２４ｂによって算出された情報を、コンセント４、プラグ５、ＰＬＣ（電灯線搬送通信）アダプタ６を介して幹線電灯線Ｌ２，Ｎに接続されたＰＣ７にＰＬＣによって送信するＰＬＣ通信回路を含むこととしても良い。また、通信部２４ａが、ＰＬＣ通信回路に代えてまたは加えて、演算部２４ｂによって算出された情報を情報処理装置に無線ＬＡＮ等の無線通信によって送信する無線通信回路を含むこととしても良い。   The communication unit 24a transmits the information calculated by the calculation unit 24b to an information processing apparatus (for example, a PC (personal computer)), and the information processing apparatus displays the information calculated by the calculation unit 24b. Note that the communication unit 24a transmits the information calculated by the calculation unit 24b to the PC 7 connected to the main power lines L2 and N via the outlet 4, the plug 5, and the PLC (electric power line communication) adapter 6 through the PLC. It is also possible to include a PLC communication circuit. The communication unit 24a may include a wireless communication circuit that transmits the information calculated by the calculation unit 24b to the information processing apparatus by wireless communication such as wireless LAN instead of or in addition to the PLC communication circuit.

Since the part 24b is accommodated in the housing | casing 20, it can prevent that the distribution board 3 becomes large.

また、一般に電力変換装置は幹線電灯線の電圧を検出する電圧センサを備えているので、その電圧センサを電圧センサ２６として利用すれば、売買電力演算のために電圧センサを別個新たに備える必要はない。   In general, since the power conversion device includes a voltage sensor for detecting the voltage of the main power line, if the voltage sensor is used as the voltage sensor 26, it is not necessary to separately provide a voltage sensor for calculating the trading power.
