Abstract
A plurality of DC/DC converters in a power converter each converts an output voltage of a corresponding one of DC power sources into a voltage of a different value according to a switching operation and outputs the voltage as converted to a common DC bus. A controller controls the plurality of DC/DC converters to perform the switching operation in different phases. The controller resets the phases in accordance with an operating state of the plurality of DC power sources and the plurality of DC/DC converters.
