    摘要: A series compensating electric power transmission system has an insulated type DC-DC converter that operates in the first through fourth quadrants, first and second DC voltage sources, and first and second power converters. In the converter, a first I/O positive terminal is connected to a first voltage source positive terminal. A first I/O negative terminal is connected to a first voltage source negative terminal. One of second I/O positive and negative terminals is connected to the first voltage source positive terminal. The other of the second I/O positive and negative terminals is connected to a second voltage source positive terminal. The first power converter converts power between the first I/O positive and negative terminals and first AC I/O terminals. The second power converter converts power between the second I/O positive and negative terminals and second AC I/O terminals. The second power converter is configured with a plurality of bidirectional switches.

    摘要: A DAB converter that is capable of inhibiting a decrease in the transmission efficiency of electric power due to an individual difference of the inductance. A DAB converter including: a transformer having a primary-side winding and a secondary-side winding; a first and second full bridge circuit; a first and second capacitor; and a control unit, in which, the primary and secondary side winding is connected between a midpoint and a midpoint of the first full bridge circuit, the first capacitor is connected between two input/output terminals included in the first full bridge circuit, the second capacitor is connected between two input/output terminals included in the second full bridge circuit, and the control unit configured to adjust a phase difference between the switching of the first and second full bridge circuit based on an estimated value of an inductance of the DAB converter.

    摘要: A switching power supply apparatus is provided which reduces the time of application of an input voltage to a choke to suppress a peak current flowing through switch elements when a primary or secondary voltage is 0 V (or a voltage near 0 V). A DAB converter or switching power supply apparatus performs phase control to change at least either a first conduction width or a second conduction width of pairs of diagonally-arranged switch elements, constituting a primary full bridge circuit. The first conduction width is a time width in which a pulse for driving the first switch element and a pulse for driving the fourth switch element overlap temporally. The second conduction width is a time width in which a pulse for driving the second switch element and a pulse for driving the third switch element overlap temporally.

    摘要: There are provided a switch driving device and a switch driving method capable of preventing a self-turn-on phenomenon. The switch driving device includes: a first signal output unit configured to output a pulsed first driving signal from a first output terminal thereof; a second signal output unit configured to output a pulsed second driving signal to a control terminal of a switching element from a second output terminal thereof; and a negative power supply generating unit configured to generate a negative voltage relative to a ground voltage and bias a low level of the second driving signal toward a negative side by the negative voltage. The negative power supply generating unit includes: a first capacitor configured to store charge by the first driving signal; and a second capacitor configured to generate the negative voltage across terminals thereof by the transfer of the charge from the first capacitor.
