  • Patent number: 11329503
    Abstract: A synchronization control circuit transforms a three-phase AC voltage supplied from a commercial AC power supply to a vector on rotational coordinates and calculates a first phase difference between the vector and a d axis. When magnitude of the first phase difference is larger than a prescribed value, the synchronization control circuit sets the first phase difference as it is as a second phase difference. When magnitude of the first phase difference is smaller than the prescribed value, the synchronization control circuit generates the second phase difference in reverse polarity to the first phase difference, and controls a frequency of a clock signal so as to set the second phase difference to 0 degree.

  • Publication number: 20220137155
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a capacitor diagnosis device includes a sensor, a frequency spectrum analysis unit, a frequency component extraction unit, and a diagnosis processing unit. The sensor detects a physical quantity that changes with an current flowing through a capacitor in a power conversion unit (PCU) for converting DC power smoothed by the capacitor connected in parallel to DC link(s) into AC power according to a power running operation. The frequency spectrum analysis unit generates a frequency spectrum based on a detection result of the sensor detected during the power running operation of the PCU. The frequency component extraction unit extracts a component of a specific frequency band related to a frequency depending on a configuration of the PCU based on the frequency spectrum. The diagnosis processing unit diagnoses a state of the capacitor based on at least a magnitude of the extracted component of the specific frequency band.

    Abstract: A rolling controller executes speed and tension control, and roll gap and plate thickness control when rolling speed is less than a boundary value, while executing roll gap and plate tension control, and speed and plate thickness control when the rolling speed is equal to or greater than the boundary value. If the rolling speed rises across the boundary value, the rolling controller sets the rolling speed to zero such that a speed correction amount in the speed and tension control before the transboundary is not reflected to a calculation executed in the speed control amount of the rolling speed after the transboundary.
