  • Publication number: 20130294127
    Abstract: A single-phase voltage source DC-AC power converter includes (a) a single-phase voltage source DC-AC power converting circuit having a gate signal generator that detects a single-phase AC output current at an AC terminal and that generates gate signals for making values of a PWM command and the single-phase AC output current identical, and (b) target current producing means that produces the PWM command such that a DC component included in the single-phase AC output voltage at the AC terminal becomes zero.

  • Patent number: 8553436
    Abstract: An automatic synchronous parallelization apparatus capable of suppressing an inrush current by automatically adjusting the magnitude, the frequency, and the phase of the voltage when a single-phase voltage-type DC-to-AC converting device performing an autonomous parallel operation is connected in parallel with an external single-phase AC voltage source. The automatic synchronous parallelization apparatus includes a synchronization detecting circuit, a voltage amplitude command value generating circuit, and a frequency command value generating circuit.

  • Patent number: 8542511
    Abstract: A single-phase voltage source AC/DC converter according to the present invention generates a second axis voltage command from difference between a DC voltage detection value at a DC terminal and a DC voltage command value and controls a DC voltage by increasing and decreasing active power with the second axis voltage command. For example, the voltage at the DC terminal is increased by decreasing active power when the DC voltage detection value at the DC terminal is lower than the DC voltage command, while the DC voltage detection value at the DC terminal is decreased by increasing the active power when the DC voltage detection value at the DC terminal is higher than the DC voltage command.
