Abstract: Filter capacitor voltage “Ecf1” is detected and then after d-axis voltage correction value “dvd”, q-axis voltage correction value “dvq”, q-axis current correction value “diq”, and frequency correction value “d&ohgr;1” have been computed from the AC components of “Ecf1” and the results have been added to the corresponding d-axis voltage command, q-axis voltage command, q-axis current, and frequency command, the DC current of the power converter is controlled. Thus, the AC components included in the DC current are offset and the AC components are suppressed effectively.

Abstract: The voltage applied to a power converter is detected by a voltage detector, a function generator produces a voltage proportional to this detected voltage, and a high-pass filter detects an AC component superimposed on the voltage. An adder adds a bias voltage to this AC component, and an adder adds the output from the adder and the output from the function generator. The output from the adder is compared with a triangular wave produced from a rectangular wave generator, and a switching element is controlled to make switching operation according to the compared result. When a DC current is decreased by the AC component, a resistance current Ib is increased so that the AC components superimposed on the current and resistance current can be cancelled out.
