Patents by Inventor Nobuyuki MOMOCHI

Nobuyuki MOMOCHI has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20240006911
    Abstract: An AC/DC converter converts an AC voltage supplied from an AC power supply into a first DC power supply voltage. A power supply line transmits the first DC power supply voltage to a plurality of power conversion modules and a bypass module. The bypass module includes a switch connected between the AC power supply and the load, and a first controller that operates upon receiving an operating power supply voltage based on the first DC power supply voltage to thereby control ON/OFF of the switch. Each power conversion module includes a power converter that converts power supplied from the AC power supply or a power storage device into AC power and supplies the AC power to the load, and a second controller that operates upon receiving an operating power supply voltage based on the first DC power supply voltage to thereby control the power converter.

  • Patent number: 11843327
    Abstract: A power conversion device includes: an inverter that includes a switching element and converts DC power into AC power; a current detector that detects an output current of the inverter; and a controller that controls the inverter to allow the output current detected by the current detector to follow a current command value having a sinusoidal waveform. The controller compares a current deviation of the output current from the current command value with a hysteresis band to control switching of the switching element. The controller sets the hysteresis band so that a hysteresis band in a zero-crossing area of the current command value is smaller than a hysteresis band in a peak area of the current command value.
