VEHICLE AND CHARGING AND DISCHARGING SYSTEM USING VEHICLE

摘要

A vehicle includes an electric storage device, an inlet, and a bidirectional thyristor. The bidirectional thyristor includes a first electrode and a second electrode. The first electrode is connected to the inlet and the second electrode is connected to the electric storage device. The bidirectional thyristor is configured to cause a DC current to flow in a direction from the first electrode to the second electrode in a charging mode and to cause a DC current to flow in a direction from the second electrode to the first electrode in a discharging mode. The charging mode is a mode in which DC power supplied from the charging and discharging device is stored in the electric storage device and the discharging mode is a mode in which DC power of the electric storage device is supplied to the charging and discharging device.
