Abstract: A voltage drop Vzs is calculated based on an output current detection value Iac and a virtual synchronous impedance Zs or a corrected virtual synchronous impedance Zs?, and a value obtained by subtracting the voltage drop Vzs from an internal induced voltage Ef is output as a grid voltage command value Vac*. Zs calculation unit 7 limits an output current phase ? so that the output current phase ? is within an effective range by a phase limiter 12a, and calculates the corrected virtual synchronous impedance Zs? based on a limited output current phase ?, the internal induced voltage Ef, a grid voltage detection value Vac and a current limit value Ilim. Accordingly, in grid interconnection power conversion device that controls a virtual synchronous generator, it is possible to continue operation while suppressing an overcurrent and possess a synchronizing power generated by action or working of a virtual synchronous impedance.

Abstract: An automatic analyzer is capable of transporting a sample at an optimum timing and a method of transporting the sample. An automatic analyzer includes an analysis unit which measures a sample, a transport unit which transports the sample to the analysis unit, and a control unit which controls the analysis unit and the transport unit. A sample is transported to the analysis unit by a time of starting an aspirating operation on the sample by allowing the analysis unit to perform a pre-measurement operation for each measuring method which needs to be performed before aspirating the sample even when the sample is still in the transport unit.

Abstract: The present invention reduces the turnaround time of an automated analyzer. During a period when cyclic measurement by a measurement unit is unnecessary, a controller washes a reaction vessel using a washing cycle having a cycle time shorter than that of an analysis cycle. A single analysis cycle and a single washing cycle both include a reaction disc stopping period and rotation period. In the washing cycle, there is no time during the stopping period when a sample dispensing mechanism, reagent dispensing mechanism, or stirring mechanism operates but there is a time when a washing mechanism operates. The washing cycle stopping period is shorter than the analysis cycle stopping period. The amount of rotation of the reaction disk in the analysis cycle rotation period is the same as the amount of rotation of the reaction disk in the washing cycle rotation period.
