Grid interconnection device, grid interconnection system, and electric power control system
First Claim
1. A grid interconnection device that converts electric power from a power supply device into predetermined alternating-current power and, interconnects the power supply device to a power distribution system, the grid interconnection device comprising:
- a detector configured to detect islanding of the power supply device; and
a receiver configured to receive power failure information including local area information indicative of an area in which a power failure occurs, through a predetermined transmission path,a determination unit configured to determine whether or not local area information contained in the power failure information is different from local area information Indicative of the interconnected power distribution system,wherein the detector enhances detection sensitivity for the islanding when the determination unit determines that the local area information Included in the power failure information differs from the area information indicative of the interconnected power distribution system.

Abstract
Disclosed is a grid interconnection device that converts electric power from a power supply device into predetermined alternating-current power, and interconnects the power supply device to a power distribution system. The grid interconnection device includes a detector that detects islanding of the power supply device, and a receiver that receives power failure information including local area information indicative of an area in which a power failure occurs, through a predetermined transmission path. The detector enhances detection sensitivity for the islanding when the received power failure information includes the local area information indicative of a different area from the area to which the power distribution system belongs.

7. An electric power control system, comprising:
-
a power supply device; a grid interconnection device configured to convert electric power from the power supply device into predetermined alternating-current power, and to interconnect the power supply device to a power distribution system; and a power failure manager configured to transmit power failure information to the grid interconnection device through a predetermined transmission path, in order to inform the grid interconnection device of the occurrence of a power failure, wherein the grid interconnection device includes; a detector configured to detect islanding of the power supply device; and a receiver configured to receive the power failure information from the power failure manager through the predetermined transmission path, the power failure information including local area information indicative of an area in which a power failure occurs, wherein the detector enhances detection sensitivity for the islanding when the received power failure information includes the local area information indicative of a different area from the area to which the power distribution system belongs.
