POWER CONVERSION FACILITY, ELECTRIC VEHICLE, AND CHARGING SYSTEM FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE
DRIVE
January 29, 2014
A power conversion facility (200) has a function of converting DC power from a DC power source (210) into AC power comparable to that generated by a system power supply (400). The power conversion facility (200) includes: an inverter (230) for performing a bidirectional DC-AC power conversion; and an isolation transformer (240) connected between the system power supply (400) and the inverter (230). An electrically-powered vehicle (100) includes a main battery (110) and a charging inlet (190). When a request to charge the main battery (110) is made under a condition that a connector (290) of the power conversion facility and the charging inlet (190) are electrically connected to each other by a charging cable (300), the power conversion facility (200) converts AC power which is supplied from the system power supply (400) through the isolation transformer (240) into DC power and outputs the DC power to the connector (290).
