Patent number: 11777315Abstract: A power converter, a voltage detector that detects a system voltage at an AC wiring side of the power converter; and a controller that performs power conversion control between AC wiring and DC wiring by transmitting a drive signal to the power converter. The controller includes: a phase calculator that calculates a current phase from the system voltage detected by the voltage detector; a phase jump angle calculator that calculates a virtual phase that follows temporal changes in the current phase in a lagging manner, and calculates a phase difference between the current phase and the virtual phase as a phase jump angle; and a drive signal generator that generates the drive signal to the power converter, which is a signal for adjusting active power that is inputted to/outputted from the power converter so as to suppress the phase jump angle.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2021Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: KAWASAKI JUKOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Naoki Yamaguchi, Yusuke Umezu, Soichiro Bando, Kazushige Sugimoto

Patent number: 11128245Abstract: At least one of a plurality of generators is a first generator configured such that a relationship of a generator output voltage with respect to a generator active power output from the generator to a corresponding first AC wiring portion has a predetermined first drooping characteristic. The control device is configured to generate a drive signal for a power conversion device by deciding a target value of a first control element such that a relationship of an AC wiring portion voltage with respect to a power conversion device active power output from the power conversion device to a first AC wiring portion corresponding to a first generator has a predetermined second drooping characteristic and correcting the target value of the first control element according to a DC voltage at a DC wiring portion.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2018Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: KAWASAKI JUKOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yusuke Umezu, Kazushige Sugimoto, Soichiro Bando, Naoki Yamaguchi, Kenichi Sakimoto, Kiyoshi Kimura, Suguru Takayama, Takato Uda
