Abstract: A method of controlling a single-phase voltage source AC/DC converting circuit has internal equivalent impedance as seen from an AC terminal, for converting power from a DC voltage source connected to a DC terminal to single-phase AC power or for converting single-phase AC power from a single-phase AC source connected to the AC terminal to DC power in accordance with a pulse width of a gate signal generated based on a PWM command.

Abstract: A static synchronous compensator that generates a second axis voltage command from the difference between the DC voltage converted by a single-phase voltage AC-DC conversion circuit and a set DC voltage command. When the voltage (the voltage of an AC terminal) of the single-phase AC power system increases, since the difference between the voltage of the AC terminal and an internal electromotive force increases, the static synchronous compensator carries out a PWM control to decreases the voltage of the AC terminal side of the single-phase voltage AC-DC conversion circuit. Since the voltage of the single-phase voltage AC-DC conversion circuit becomes lower than the voltage of the single-phase AC power system, an ineffective current flows from single-phase AC power system in the static synchronous compensator so that the voltage of the single-phase AC power system can be decreased.

Abstract: A distributed power system is designed to continuously supply electric power to a load even when a system voltage of the electric power system becomes abnormal. The distributed power system includes a DC/DC converter to convert DC current generated by solar power generation facility to DC current with a predetermined output voltage, and an inverter to convert the DC current to an AC current which is output to an electric power system via a system interconnect switch. When the system voltage of the electric power system is abnormal, a control device makes the system interconnect switch open to switch operation modes of the DC/DC converter and inverter to a self-sustaining operation without stopping, and supplies electric power to a load connected between the inverter and the system interconnect switch.

Abstract: A method and a single-phase voltage type AC/DC converting device and a three-phase voltage type AC/DC converting device arranged between a load and a distribution network. The converting devices are capable of contributing to stabilize a system frequency and a system voltage. By applying an autonomous parallel operation control technique of an AC/DC converter to a load, which receives power from a distribution network, drooping characteristics (governor-free characteristics) for a frequency of active power and voltage-maintaining characteristics (V-Q characteristics) may be obtained. The governor-free characteristics automatically decrease and increase received power when the system frequency decreases and increases, so that even the load may contribute to stabilize the system frequency. The V-Q characteristics generates/absorbs reactive power so as to maintain a voltage at a receiving end constant regardless of load power to further stabilize the system voltage.
