Problems solved by technology

However, since the number of series-connected units decreases, the maximum voltage that can be output by the power conversion device also decreases.
As a result, the operating range (range of rotational speed and torque) becomes narrower in the case of an electric motor, and may no longer be operable in the case of a PCS.

Embodiment 1

[0046] As Embodiment 1, a method in which the power conversion device 100 converts the voltage of the power supply 300 into an AC voltage and outputs it to the load 400, and a method in which the operation is continued and the output voltage is increased even when some units fail will be described in detail.

FIG. 6(A) is a waveform during normal operation, and FIG. 6(B) is a waveform when one unit fails. Similar to Embodiment 1, FIG. 6(A) assumes Vdc during normal operation as V0, and FIG. 6(B) increases Vdc to V1=(4 / 3)×V0 when a failure occurs.

[0073] The PWM modulation will be described by taking the normal operation of FIG. 6(A), that is, the case of Vdc=V0 as an example. As described in Embodiment 1, the inverter of each unit can output three types of voltages, +V0, 0, and -V0. When using PWM modulation, the inverter of each unit outputs +V0 and 0 alternately, or outputs -V0 and 0 alternately. Therefore, as shown in FIG...

Abstract

A power conversion device is provided with a plurality of power converter cells and a control unit for controlling the power converter cells, wherein the power converter cells are each provided with: a converter for converting an input voltage from the outside to generate a DC link voltage; an inverter for converting the DC link voltage to an AC voltage and outputting the AC voltage; and a bypass unit for short-circuiting the output terminals of the inverter. When detecting a failure in a part of the power converter cells, the control unit operates the bypass unit of a power converter cell in which the failure has been detected to short-circuit the output terminals and increases the DC link voltages of at least one or more power converter cells among the power converter cells in which no failure occurs.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to power conversion devices. Background technique [0002] For high-voltage or large-capacity power conversion, a power conversion device in which a plurality of power converter units (hereinafter referred to as “units”) are connected in series or in parallel is used. For example, in driving a high-voltage motor, the output terminals of a plurality of inverters (a type of power converter) are connected in series, and the output voltages of the inverters are synthesized to output a high voltage (called multiple inverters). device method, etc.). In this form, it is possible to directly output a high voltage to the motor without using a large-scale low-frequency step-up transformer. [0003] In addition, the introduction of natural energy power generation such as photovoltaic power generation and wind power generation is expanding worldwide. There is a PCS (Power Conditioning System) as a power conversion device for conver...
