Abstract: A power conversion device includes a switching signal generation unit that generates switching signals so that time points of at least one of pairs synchronize with each other. A first pair includes a rising time point at a first junction point of a first single-phase leg, and a falling time point at a second junction point of a second single-phase leg. A second pair includes a falling time point at the first junction point and a rising time point at the second junction point. The switching signal generation unit determines time points to turn on or turn off for upper arm switching element and a lower arm switching element based on phase currents respectively at a rising time point and at a falling time point of the terminal voltages.

Abstract: Switching control of an inverter is performed such that rising and falling of a terminal voltage of U phase including upper and lower arm switching elements are calculated, and the calculated rising of the terminal voltage of U phase and falling of a terminal voltage of V phase or W phase or the calculated falling of the terminal voltage of U phase and rising of the terminal voltage of V phase or W phase are synchronized with each other.

Abstract: A drive device includes a first inverter and a second inverter configured to respectively drive two rotary electric machines. Carrier signals for controlling the first inverter and the second inverter are set to be in mutually opposite phases.

Abstract: A control device for controlling switching elements in a power conversion circuit includes a pattern generation unit for generating a frequency change pattern, and a controller. Using n first frequencies fc and a second frequency fdef smaller than the smallest one of differences between the n first frequencies fc, the pattern generation unit determines a shift order of the 2n switching frequencies f determined by adding/subtracting the second frequency fdef to/from the first frequencies fc, such that the middle value between two switching frequencies f before and after shifting does not overlap the value of each switching frequency f, thereby generating a frequency change pattern. The controller generates a control signal G for each switching element by using the 2n switching frequencies f for respective different duration times in accordance with the frequency change pattern.
