    摘要: A current suppression control unit calculates correction terms of reference voltage command values for operating a power converter as a voltage source. The correction terms are calculated to compensate for respective current deviations of output currents transformed on two axes, with respect to current command values on a two-axis rotating coordinate system for suppressing an output current of the power converter to less than or equal to a control upper limit value. A proportional control unit has proportional elements to reflect the current deviations in the correction terms within the same axes of the two axes. A decoupling control unit has integral elements to reflect the current deviations in the correction terms between the different two axes.

    摘要: A voltage evaluation value generator receives voltage detection values of power storage elements of all of converter cells included in a power converter and generates a first voltage evaluation value of each power storage element of all of the converter cells and a second voltage evaluation value of each power storage element in a plurality of converter cells included in each of a plurality of groups obtained by classifying all of the converter cells in advance, without using a mean value of voltage detection values. A voltage macro controller uses the voltage evaluation value to calculate a control value set in common to at least the converter cells in the same group for controlling deficiency and excess of stored energy in all of the converter cells and the converter cells in each group.

    摘要: A control device includes a power generator simulation unit to generate a voltage command value, and a signal generation unit to generate a control signal for the power converter. The power generator simulation unit includes a first integrator to time-integrate a first difference between effective power and a target value of the effective power and output a first angular frequency, a second integrator to time-integrate the first angular frequency and output a phase of an AC voltage, and a voltage command generation unit to generate the voltage command value based on the AC voltage, a target value of the AC voltage, and the phase. When a voltage difference between the AC voltage and the target value of the AC voltage is greater than a threshold, the first integrator outputs a difference between an angular frequency of the AC voltage and a reference angle frequency as the first angular frequency.

    摘要: A power conversion device includes a power converter including a plurality of arms each having a plurality of converter cells cascaded to each other. A control device includes an AC current controller to control AC current flowing between the power converter and an AC circuit and a circulating current controller to control circulating current flowing between the arms of the power converter. The AC current controller reduces an effective value or amplitude value of AC current in a discharge operation mode in which a voltage of a power storage element of each converter cell is discharged, compared with in a normal operation mode. The circulating current controller increases an effective value or amplitude value of circulating current in the discharge operation mode, compared with in the normal operation mode.

    摘要: A control device includes: a phase error calculation unit to calculate a phase error between a phase of a voltage command for the power converter and a phase of a point-of-interconnection voltage; and an isolated system determination unit to determine whether the AC power system has shifted from an interconnected system to an isolated system, based on the phase error and a magnitude of the point-of-interconnection voltage, the interconnected system being the AC power system connected to a generator, the isolated system being the AC power system not connected to the generator. The isolated system determination unit determines that the AC power system has shifted from the interconnected system to the isolated system, when at least a first condition is met that the phase error is outside a reference range and the magnitude of the point-of-interconnection voltage is greater than a first voltage threshold.
