Patent ID: 7633783

Claim:
A converter control device which is connected between a first power supply and a second power supply; includes a converter device configuration in which a plurality of converters each having a plurality of switching elements and a reactor and performing voltage conversion bi-directionally are connected in parallel; and changes the number of converter phases to be driven in response to an electric power passing through the converter device, the converter control device comprising: a control unit which provides feedback of an actual value of an actual operating duty ratio with respect to a duty ratio command value to be given to the plurality of the switching elements to perform voltage conversion, and suppresses deviation between the actual operating duty ratio and the duty ratio command value; a storing device that obtains and pre-stores data regarding a relationship between control gains in feedback control and the number of drive phases, and a gain switching device to switch the control gains in the feedback control to a control gain corresponding to the number of drive phases that changed from a former phase number state when the number of drive phases is changed in response to the electric power passing through the converter device, wherein the gain switching device has a mechanism that determines the number of drive phases, and the gain switching device switches the gains after confirming that the number of drive phases is changed by determining the number of drive phases.
