  • Publication number: 20230032286
    Abstract: A power conversion device 1 includes a matrix converter circuit 10 including a plurality of switching elements and being configured to perform bidirectional power conversion between alternating current power on a primary side and alternating current power on a secondary side, a power conversion control unit 114 configured to switch on and off the plurality of switching elements in unison with a carrier wave to cause an alternating current on the secondary side to follow a control command, and a carrier wave changing unit 116 configured to change, based on a nearness level between a frequency on the primary side and a frequency on the secondary side, a frequency of the carrier wave.

  • Patent number: 8693229
    Abstract: A power regeneration apparatus includes a power conversion unit, an AC reactor, a voltage detecting unit, a phase detecting unit, a drive control unit for controlling the power conversion unit based on a phase detection value, and a reactive current component detecting unit. The phase detecting unit detects the phase of the AC power supply. The reactive current component detecting unit detects a reactive current component of a current. The drive control unit includes a phase correction section. The phase correction section corrects the phase detection value based on the reactive current component.
