  • Patent number: 9768616
    Abstract: A resonance suppression device configured to supply compensation current to a power system from a power conversion device connected to the power system, to suppress resonance which occurs with a power facility being connected to the power system, the resonance suppression device includes: a transfer function that is to be multiplied to a value based on voltage of the power system; a filter configured to extract a frequency component obtained by eliminating a fundamental wave component from frequency components contained in the inputted voltage, to output the resultant; and a coefficient control unit configured to control a coefficient of the transfer function so that a value of the compensation current falls within a predetermined range, according to output capacity of the power conversion device, wherein including a current command value generation unit being configured to generate as a current command value with respect to the power conversion device an output value obtained by inputting in the filter a val

  • Patent number: 9621023
    Abstract: The present invention whose object is to reduce compensation current at the time when suppressing harmonic distortion caused by harmonic voltage, to reduce capacitance of an inverter, a resonance suppression device configured to suppress resonance which occurs when a power facility such as a wind power generator is connected to a power system includes: an inverter configured to supply alternating current to the power system, the inverter being in parallel with the power facility; a current command value generation unit in which voltage at a connection point between the power facility and the power system is inputted thereto and a current command value is obtained by multiplying, by a transfer function, a harmonic component contained in the voltage at the connection point; and a current control unit configured to control the alternating current outputted from the inverter based on the current command value.

  • Patent number: 9590485
    Abstract: A resonance suppression device, in which power loss and apparatus capacitance are reduced by outputting a compensating current only while a voltage resonance is being generated, and which suppresses resonance generated by connection of a power apparatus to a power system. In one embodiment, the device includes a capacitance change detector that detects a change of an electrostatic capacitance (impedance) connected to the power system. When the resonance detector detects the resonance, a current command value generator generates the current command value on the basis of harmonic components included in a current supplied from the power apparatus to the power system. When the impedance change detector detects a change of the impedance, the current command value generator generates the current command value so as to reduce the compensating current.
