Patent ID: 10193434

Abstract:
This power conversion device includes: conversion devices for supplying AC powers to respective phases with respect to the neutral point of a three-phase AC system via reactors; and a control unit for controlling the conversion devices. Each conversion device includes: a step-up circuit for stepping up the DC input voltage value of DC power; and a single-phase inverter circuit. For each conversion device, when the absolute value of a voltage target value obtained, as an AC waveform to be outputted, by superimposing a third-order harmonic on a fundamental wave exceeds the inputted DC voltage, the control unit causes the step-up circuit to perform step-up operation to generate the absolute value of the voltage target value and causes the single-phase inverter circuit to only perform necessary polarity inversion, and when the absolute value of the voltage target value is smaller than the inputted DC voltage, the control unit stops the step-up operation of the step-up circuit and causes the single-phase inverter circuit to operate to generate the voltage target value.
