Patent number: 9912150Abstract: In a power control system which connects power from the power storage device to a power grid and supplies power to a load, the power from the power storage device is connected to the load and the power grid via a DC/DC converter, a smoothing capacitor, and a DC/AC converter. By a first power control unit for controlling flow power of the power grid to be a power command value, and by a second power control unit for suppressing reverse flow power, an output power command for the DC/AC converter is generated, an output power command for the DC/DC converter is generated so that voltage of the smoothing capacitor becomes target voltage, and the output power command is corrected so as to suppress voltage variation in the smoothing capacitor.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2014Date of Patent: March 6, 2018Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Kikuo Izumi, Tatsuya Okuda, Tsutomu Shimazaki, Naohide Tsuchimoto

Patent number: 6384556Abstract: In order to brake a brushless motor in a forward rotation to give a reverse rotation force, source-side and sink-side transistors for supplying driving circuits *a, *b, *c, *d, *e, *f are periodically switched on and switched off based on the oscillation frequency of an oscillator (13) when a both end voltage of a current detection resistance (10) is higher than a reference voltage Vref. Moreover, the transistors are kept in an ON state all the time when the both end voltage of the current detection resistance (1) has lowered below the reference voltage Vref. With this arrangement, damage to a source-side transistor due to a large current flowing thereinto when the motor rotating in a reverse direction can be prevented.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2000Date of Patent: May 7, 2002Assignee: Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masao Mizumoto, Koichiro Ogino, Tsutomu Shimazaki

Patent number: 5192902Abstract: A controller for properly controlling a rotating speed and a rotational phase of a DC servo motor. A velocity correction signal is obtained by comparing a rotation signal detected from the motor rotating at a predetermined rotating speed, and a phase error signal is detected from the rotation detected signal as well. Both the rotating velocity and phase of the motor are corrected by the controller supplying a signal which is a mix of the velocity error signal and the phase error signal.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 1990Date of Patent: March 9, 1993Assignees: Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd., Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masao Mizumoto, Kouichirou Ougino, Tsutomu Shimazaki, Tomohiro Inoue, Yasuhiro Okada
