  • Patent number: 11705843
    Abstract: A direct power conversion device includes a control unit. tb=1/|fdc?n×fL|. fdc is a frequency twice as high as a frequency of an AC power supply, fL is a frequency of periodic load fluctuations, and n is a positive integer that maximizes tb. In a half period of power supply during a period of tb, the half period including a timing at which peaks of a fundamental wave of load torque and an absolute value of a power supply voltage substantially coincide with each other, the control unit being configured to control the switching elements so that two or more local maximum points appear in the half period of power supply, in a waveform obtained by combining a second harmonic, a fourth harmonic, and a sixth harmonic of a power supply frequency contained in a waveform of an absolute value of a motor current vector.

  • Patent number: 10951152
    Abstract: In order to suppress vibration with a motor a load torque of which periodically fluctuates, an output torque of the motor is controlled to be periodically changed. In this case, in order to increase a vibration suppressing component by a direct power conversion apparatus, at least one of first control and second control is performed. In the first control, an output torque having a waveform including a fundamental frequency component of the load torque a fundamental frequency of which is a frequency in accordance with a fluctuation period of the load torque and at least one of a fourth harmonic and a sixth harmonic of a power source frequency of an AC power source is generated. In the second control, the output torque having a waveform including at least one of a second harmonic and a third harmonic of the fundamental frequency of the load torque and a second harmonic of the power source frequency of the AC power source is generated.
