Abstract:
The boost system performs switching control of a first switching element and a second switching element, based on a result of comparison between the boost carrier and a duty command based on a required duty, with regard to each of a decreasing region where the boost carrier decreases and an increasing region where the boost carrier increases. The boost system sets the required duty to the duty command, with regard to the greater between the required duty in the decreasing region and the required duty in the increasing region, while setting the duty command by imposing a limitation on the required duty by lower limit guarding, such that an average duty in each one period of the boost carrier becomes equal to or greater than a lower limit duty, with regard to the smaller between the required duty in the decreasing region and the required duty in the increasing region.

Claim (Index 1):
A boost system, comprising:\n a boost converter that includes first and second switching elements serving as an upper arm and a lower arm, first and second diodes, and a reactor and that is configured to transmit electric power between a first power line on a power source side and a second power line on an electric load side accompanied with voltage conversion; and a control device configured to perform switching control of the first switching element and the second switching element, based on a result of comparison between a boost carrier and a duty command based on a required duty, with regard to each of a decreasing region where the boost carrier decreases and an increasing region where the boost carrier increases, wherein the control device sets the required duty to the duty command with regard to the greater between the required duty in the decreasing region and the required duty in the increasing region, while setting the duty command by imposing a limitation on the required duty by lower limit guarding, such that an average duty in each one period of the boost carrier becomes equal to or greater than a lower limit duty, with regard to the smaller between the required duty in the decreasing region and the required duty in the increasing region.
