The reception-side power converter converts the DC power transmitted by the DC transmission line to AC power and supplies the AC power to the reception side. The energy consuming device is connected to a position between an AC power transmission system and the DC transmission line on the transmission side and, when the AC power supplied by the renewable energy power supply results in surplus power in association with power variations that have occurred, consumes the surplus power. The control device controls the operation of the energy consuming device.

Abstract
An optical module according to an embodiment comprises a photoelectric element and a gain adjusting unit. The photoelectric element performs at least one of conversion of an electrical signal into an optical signal, and conversion of an optical signal into an electrical signal. In a test of the optical module, the gain adjusting unit adjusts a gain of a signal level of at least one of the electrical signal and the optical signal output from the photoelectric element.
