Abstract
A power generation module including: a power generation element; an AC generation circuit configured to convert DC current output from the power generation element into AC current; a module-side inductance element configured to generate a magnetic field from the AC current; a phase information acquiring circuit; and a control circuit; and a power-collector closed circuit including a power collector-side inductance element configured to electromagnetically couple to the module-side inductance element to generate an induced electromotive force, wherein, when reference AC current flowing in the power-collector closed circuit flows through the power collector-side inductance element, the module-side inductance element electromagnetically coupled to the power collector-side inductance element generates AC current corresponding to the reference AC current, and the control circuit acquires phase information related to the reference AC current via the phase information acquiring circuit so that the control circuit controls the AC generation circuit in accordance with the phase information.
