Abstract:
A power conversion apparatus includes a power converter, a voltage detector, a determiner, and a drive controller. The power converter is configured to convert DC power input from an electric generation apparatus into AC power. The voltage detector is configured to detect a DC voltage input into the power converter. The determiner is configured to determine an output power command or an output current command based on whether the output power command or the output current command has a first level that is correlated in advance with a second level of the DC voltage detected by the voltage detector. The drive controller is configured to control the power converter based on the output power command or the output current command determined by the determiner
Abstract:
A power conversion apparatus includes power conversion circuitry that converts first power supplied from a power source into AC power corresponding to second power of a power system, and control circuitry that instructs, at a time that is determined based on a voltage across a capacitor disposed between the power system and the power conversion circuitry, the power conversion circuitry to start applying an AC voltage to the capacitor.
Abstract:
A power conversion apparatus includes a power converter, a target command controller, a feedback controller, and a gain adjustor. The power converter is configured to convert first power supplied from a power generation source into second power. The target command controller is configured to increase or decrease a target command so as to cause the first power to follow maximum suppliable power of the power generation source. The feedback controller is configured to control the power converter by feedback control that is based on a deviation between the target command and at least one of a supplied voltage and a supplied current supplied from the power generation source to the power converter. The gain adjustor is configured to adjust a gain of the feedback control based on at least one of the supplied voltage, the supplied current, and the target command.
Abstract:
A grid interconnection apparatus includes a voltage conversion section including DC/DC converters to step up or down output voltages of DC power sources. The voltage conversion section combines DC power outputs from the DC/DC converters into combined DC power and output the DC power. A power conversion section converts the DC power output from the voltage conversion section into AC power, and outputs the AC power to a power grid. A current detector detects a current input into the power conversion section. A voltage detector detects a voltage input into the power conversion section. A controller controls the DC/DC converters to maximize the power outputs from the DC power sources based on the detected current and the detected voltage.
