POWER PACKET GENERATION DEVICE, POWER ROUTER, AND POWER NETWORK
First Claim
1. A power packet generation device configured to generate power packets to be supplied to a plurality of loads, from electric power supplied from at least one DC power source, and transmit the generated power packets to a main transmission line so that target voltages are applied to the respective loads, the power packet generation device comprising:
- a plurality of switches respectively interposed in a plurality of sub transmission lines each connecting the DC power source to the main transmission line;
a plurality of packet generators configured to generate the power packets by causing the switches to perform ON/OFF operation, based on the target voltages, and voltages estimated as being applied to the respective loads in each of a first state where the power packets are supplied to the loads and a second state where the power packets are not supplied to the loads; and
a selector configured to perform switching between a state where the packet generators cause the switches to perform ON/OFF operation, and a state where the packet generators maintain the switches in their OFF states.

Abstract
A mixer (power packet generation device) 2 includes switches 21A, 21B, packet generation means 28A, 28B, and a selector 29. The packet generator 28A (28B) causes the switch 21A (21B) to perform ON/OFF operation, based on a target voltage, and a voltage estimated as being applied to a load 4A (4B) in each of a state where a power packet is supplied to the load and a state where no power packet is supplied to the load. The selector 29 performs switching between a state where the packet generators 28A, 28B cause the switches 21A, 21B to perform ON/OFF operation, and a state where the packet generators 28A, 28B maintain the switches 21A, 21B in their OFF states.
