Abstract:
A control apparatus for an internal combustion type electric locomotive that converts power, generated by an AC generator driven by an engine, into DC power with a rectifier, further converts the DC power into AC power with a power converter, and controls driving of an induction motor for promoting rolling stocks, comprising:a master controller outputting a notch signal determining engine speed; an engine speed command generator generating an engine speed command value corresponding to the notch signal;output power command value calculation means for receiving the notch signal outputted from the master controller, the engine speed command value, the engine speed, and the speed of the induction motor, calculating an output power command value of the induction motor according to the engine speed from torque command values before and after the notch signal changing during response time for control of the engine if the notch signal changes, and calculating the output power command value corresponding to the notch signal after the notch signal changing except the case thereof; andpower converter control means outputting a power control signal according to this output power command value to the power converter.
