[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 09-149660 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] In a power conversion device that incorporates a DC power supply (storage battery) for continuing to supply power in the event of a power outage or momentary interruption, the input filter, output filter, and DC filter of the DC circuit may vibrate, causing a large ripple current to flow through the DC filter. As in the configuration of Patent Document 1, performing PWM control using three-phase modulation while switching the phases of two-phase modulation can suppress the current flowing through the DC filter. However, because the value of the ripple current flowing through the DC filter varies depending on the duration of three-phase modulation (hereinafter also referred to as the three-phase modulation control period), it is necessary to optimize the duration of three-phase modulation.

[0006] Therefore, the present invention provides a power conversion device in which the three-phase modulation control period during the phase switching of the two-phase modulation is optimized. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] Hereinafter, the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. For the sake of convenience, the description of components having the same reference numbers as those already described in the description of the embodiment will be omitted. Furthermore, for the sake of convenience, the dimensions of each component shown in the drawings may differ from the actual dimensions of each component.

[0011] Fig. 1 is a diagram showing a circuit configuration of a power conversion device 1 according to this embodiment. As shown in Fig. 1, a three-phase AC power supply 91 is connected to device input terminals 31a to 31c of the power conversion device 1, and an AC load 92 to which a three-phase AC output from an inverter circuit I is supplied is connected to device output terminals 71a to 71c of the power conversion device 1. The power conversion device 1 includes an input filter F1, a converter circuit C, a smoothing circuit S, the inverter circuit I, an output filter F2, a DC filter F3, a DC circuit D, a converter control unit 12, and an inverter control unit 13.

[0012] The input filter F1 has input filter capacitors 2a to 2c and input filter reactors 3a to 3c. One terminal of each of the input filter reactors 3a to 3c is connected to device input terminals 31a to 31c, respectively, of the power conversion device 1. The other terminal of each of the input filter reactors 3a to 3c is connected to three-phase (r-phase, s-phase, t-phase) AC input terminals 41a to 41c, respectively, of the converter circuit C.

[0013] One terminal of each of the input filter capacitors 2a to 2c is connected to the corresponding terminal of the input filter reactors 3a to 3c on the device input terminals 31a to 31c side. The other terminal of each of the input filter capacitors 2a to 2c is connected to the neutral conductor n1. The input filter F1 passes three-phase AC from the three-phase AC power supply 91 to the converter circuit C, while preventing a signal of the carrier frequency (a frequency that determines the pulse width modulation period in the PWM control system) generated by the converter circuit C from flowing into the three-phase AC power supply 91.

[0014] The converter circuit C has six semiconductor switching elements 4a to 4f connected in a three-phase bridge. The semiconductor switching elements 4a to 4f are configured, for example, with IGBTs (insulated gate bipolar transistors) and anti-parallel freewheeling diodes. The converter circuit C is configured as a three-phase (r-phase, s-phase, t-phase) full bridge circuit. The converter circuit C converts three-phase AC input from a three-phase AC power supply 91 into DC.

[0015] The smoothing circuit S has a smoothing capacitor 5 of the converter circuit C. The smoothing capacitor 5 is, for example, an electrolytic capacitor, and is connected to the DC output terminals 42a and 42b of the converter circuit C. The smoothing capacitor 5 smoothes the output of the converter circuit C.

[0016] The inverter circuit I has six semiconductor switching elements 6a to 6f connected in a three-phase bridge. The semiconductor switching elements 6a to 6f are configured, for example, with IGBTs and anti-parallel connected freewheeling diodes. The inverter circuit I is configured as a three-phase (u-phase, v-phase, w-phase) full-bridge circuit. The inverter circuit I has DC input terminals 61a and 61b connected to both polarity terminals of a smoothing capacitor 5 and one terminal of each of DC filter reactors 9a and 9b, respectively. The inverter circuit I converts the DC from the smoothing circuit S (the DC output from the converter circuit C) into AC, or converts the DC from the DC circuit D into AC, through the switching operation of the semiconductor switching elements 6a to 6f.

[0017] The output filter F2 has output filter reactors 7a-7c and output filter capacitors 8a-8c. One terminal of each of the output filter reactors 7a-7c is connected to AC output terminals 62a-62c of the three-phase (u-phase, v-phase, w-phase) inverter circuit I. The other terminal of each of the output filter reactors 7a-7c is connected to device output terminals 71a-71c of the power conversion device 1.

[0018] One terminal of each of output filter capacitors 8a to 8c is connected to the terminal of output filter reactors 7a to 7c on the device output terminals 71a to 71c side, respectively. The other terminal of each of output filter capacitors 8a to 8c is connected to neutral conductor n1. Output filter F2 passes AC output from inverter circuit I to AC load 92 and prevents a carrier frequency signal generated by inverter circuit I from flowing into AC load 92.

[0019] The DC filter F3 has DC filter reactors 9a and 9b and DC filter capacitors 10a and 10b. The DC circuit D has a DC power supply (storage battery) 11. One terminal of each of the DC filter reactors 9a and 9b is connected to the DC input terminals 61a and 61b of the inverter circuit I. The other terminal of each of the DC filter reactors 9a and 9b is connected to the DC filter capacitors 10a and 10b and the DC power supply 11, respectively.

[0020] The DC circuit D is connected in parallel with the smoothing circuit S, and is configured to continue supplying power to the AC load 92 when a power outage or momentary interruption occurs. Specifically, during normal operation of the power conversion device 1, DC from the smoothing circuit S (DC output by the converter circuit C) is input to the inverter circuit I. During battery operation of the power conversion device 1, DC from the DC circuit D is input to the inverter circuit I.

[0021] 2 is a diagram showing the circuit configuration of the converter control unit 12 according to this embodiment. The converter control unit 12 has a converter modulation command generation unit 121, a first two-phase modulation control unit 122, a first PWM signal generation unit 123, and a two-phase modulation signal generation unit 124, and performs switching control of the semiconductor switching elements 4a to 4f of the converter circuit C to a desired state.

[0022] The converter modulation command generating unit 121 receives three-phase AC from the three-phase AC power supply 91, generates converter modulation command signals Vr, Vs, and Vt consisting of three-phase AC sine waves, and outputs them to the first two-phase modulation control unit 122. The two-phase modulation signal generating unit 124 receives three-phase AC from the three-phase AC power supply 91, generates converter two-phase modulation signals AC1 to AC6, and outputs them to the first two-phase modulation control unit 122. The first two-phase modulation control unit 122 receives the converter modulation command signals Vr, Vs, and Vt from the converter modulation command generating unit 121, and receives the converter two-phase modulation signals AC1 to AC6 from the two-phase modulation signal generating unit 124. The first two-phase modulation control unit 122 further generates converter two-phase modulation command signals Vr', Vs', and Vt' and outputs them to the first PWM signal generating unit 123.

[0023] The first PWM signal generator 123 includes a comparator 123a and a carrier signal generator 123b. The comparator 123a receives converter two-phase modulation command signals Vr', Vs', and Vt' and a carrier signal Vc, such as a triangular wave, generated by the carrier signal generator 123b. The comparator 123a compares the two signals and outputs PWM drive signals Vgr, Vgs, and Vgt. The PWM drive signals Vgr and their inverted signals / Vgr, the PWM drive signals Vgs and their inverted signals / Vgs, and the PWM drive signals Vgt and their inverted signals / Vgt are input to the gates of the semiconductor switching elements 4a to 4f of the converter circuit C, respectively. In other words, the PWM drive signals Vgr, Vgs, and Vgt have waveforms that turn on the upper semiconductor switching elements 4a, 4c, and 4e and turn off the lower semiconductor switching elements 4b, 4d, and 4f when the converter two-phase modulation command signals Vr', Vs', and Vt' are greater than the carrier signal Vc. When the converter two-phase modulation command signals Vr', Vs', Vt' are smaller than the carrier signal Vc, the waveforms turn on the lower semiconductor switching elements 4b, 4d, 4f and turn off the upper semiconductor switching elements 4a, 4c, 4e.

[0024] 3 is a diagram showing the circuit configuration of the inverter control unit 13 according to this embodiment. The inverter control unit 13 has an inverter modulation command generation unit 131, a second two-phase modulation control unit 132, a second PWM signal generation unit 133, a two-phase modulation signal generation unit 134, and an inverter sine wave reference generation unit 135, and controls the switching of the semiconductor switching elements 6a to 6f of the inverter circuit I to a desired state.

[0025] The inverter modulation command generation unit 131 receives the ideal sine wave generated by the inverter sine wave reference generation unit 135, generates inverter modulation command signals Vu, Vv, and Vw consisting of three-phase AC sine waves, and outputs them to the second two-phase modulation control unit 132. The two-phase modulation signal generation unit 134 receives the ideal sine wave from the inverter sine wave reference generation unit 135, generates inverter two-phase modulation signals AI1 to AI6, and outputs them to the second two-phase modulation control unit 132. The second two-phase modulation control unit 132 receives the inverter modulation command signals Vu, Vv, and Vw from the inverter modulation command generation unit 131, and receives the inverter two-phase modulation signals AI1 to AI6 from the two-phase modulation signal generation unit 134. The second two-phase modulation control unit 132 generates two-phase modulation command signals Vu', Vv', and Vw' and outputs them to the second PWM signal generation unit 133.

[0026] The configuration of the second PWM signal generating unit 133 is similar to that of the first PWM signal generating unit 123 of the converter control unit 12 shown in FIG. 2, and therefore a description thereof will be omitted.

[0027] 4 is a diagram showing internal signal waveforms of the inverter control unit 13 according to this embodiment. In FIG. 4, the upper part shows inverter modulation command signals Vu, Vv, and Vw, the middle part shows inverter two-phase modulation signals AI1 to AI6, and the lower part shows inverter two-phase modulation command signals Vu', Vv', and Vw'.

[0028] The inverter modulation command signals Vu, Vv, and Vw are three-phase AC sine waves that are 120° out of phase with each other. The inverter two-phase modulation signals AI1 to AI6 are signals for two-phase modulating the inverter modulation command signals Vu, Vv, and Vw. The inverter two-phase modulation command signals Vu', Vv', and Vw' are signals that are partially two-phase modulated from the inverter modulation command signals Vu, Vv, and Vw based on the inverter two-phase modulation signals AI1 to AI6. Specifically, the inverter two-phase modulation command signal Vu' is a signal in which the inverter modulation command signal Vu is fixed to High during the two-phase modulation control period t1 in which the inverter two-phase modulation signal AI1 is High, and the inverter two-phase modulation command signal Vu' is a signal in which the inverter modulation command signal Vu is fixed to Low during the two-phase modulation control period t1 in which the inverter two-phase modulation signal AI4 is High. Similarly, the inverter two-phase modulation command signal Vv' is a signal in which the inverter modulation command signal Vv is fixed to High during the two-phase modulation control period t2 in which the inverter two-phase modulation signal AI2 is High. Also, the inverter two-phase modulation command signal Vv' is a signal in which the inverter modulation command signal Vv is fixed to Low during the two-phase modulation control period t2 in which the inverter two-phase modulation signal AI5 is High. Similarly, the inverter two-phase modulation command signal Vw' is a signal in which the inverter modulation command signal Vw is fixed to High during the two-phase modulation control period t2 in which the inverter two-phase modulation signal AI3 is High. Also, the inverter two-phase modulation command signal Vw' is a signal in which the inverter modulation command signal Vw is fixed to Low during the two-phase modulation control period t2 in which the inverter two-phase modulation signal AI5 is High.

[0029] As shown in Figure 4, the inverter two-phase modulation command signals Vu', Vv', and Vw' are two-phase modulation signals in which one of the three phases is fixed to high or low during two-phase modulation control periods t1, t2, and t3, and the remaining two phases are modulated. The inverter two-phase modulation command signals Vu', Vv', and Vw' are three-phase modulation signals in which all three phases are modulated during three-phase modulation control periods tr1, tr2, and tr3. The three-phase modulation control period tr1 is between the two-phase modulation control period t1 and the two-phase modulation control period t3, the three-phase modulation control period tr2 is between the two-phase modulation control period t2 and the two-phase modulation control period t1, and the three-phase modulation control period tr3 is between the two-phase modulation control period t3 and the two-phase modulation control period t2.

[0030] Furthermore, the two-phase modulation control periods t1, t2, and t3 are times corresponding to a phase of 60°-Δθ, and the three-phase modulation control periods tr1, tr2, and tr3 are times corresponding to a phase of Δθ. Therefore, in the control periods with a phase cycle of 180°, inverter control unit 13 performs PWM control using the two-phase modulation method during the two-phase modulation control periods t1, t2, and t3, and performs PWM control using the three-phase modulation method during the three-phase modulation control periods tr1, tr2, and tr3.

[0031] In this embodiment, the three-phase modulation control periods tr1, tr2, and tr3 are each set based on the first resonance period T1 or the second resonance period T2 described below. The two-phase modulation control periods t1, t2, and t3 are each set to a value obtained by subtracting the above-set three-phase modulation control periods tr1, tr2, and tr3 from the time corresponding to a phase of 60°.

[0032] The configuration in which the inverter control unit 13 according to this embodiment PWM controls the inverter circuit I using two-phase modulation or three-phase modulation has been described with reference to Fig. 4. The converter control unit 12 according to this embodiment may also be configured to similarly PWM control the converter circuit C using two-phase modulation or three-phase modulation.

[0033] 5 is a diagram showing the waveform obtained by adding up the output voltages of each phase of the inverter circuit I according to this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, when the fundamental waves (waveforms of commercial components) of each phase of the inverter circuit I are added up, the result is 0 V. As a result, the voltage during the three-phase modulation control periods tr1, tr2, and tr3 is 0 V, and the voltage during the two-phase modulation control periods t1, t2, and t3 remains as a high or low waveform. Furthermore, the waveform obtained by adding up the output voltages of each phase of the inverter circuit I fluctuates significantly when transitioning from the two-phase modulation control periods t1, t2, and t3 to the three-phase modulation control periods tr1, tr2, and tr3, or when transitioning from the three-phase modulation control periods tr1, tr2, and tr3 to the two-phase modulation control periods t1, t2, and t3.

[0034] Fig. 6 shows an equivalent circuit for harmonic frequencies during normal operation when power is supplied from a three-phase AC power supply 91 to an AC load 92. As shown in Fig. 6, the equivalent circuit is made up of input filter capacitors 2a to 2c and input filter reactors 3a to 3c of an input filter F1, output filter capacitors 8a to 8c and output filter reactors 7a to 7c of an output filter F2, and DC filter capacitors 10a and 10b and DC filter reactors 9a and 9b of a DC filter F3. In Fig. 6, symbol C' represents the waveform obtained by adding up the output voltages of the phases of converter circuit C, and symbol I' represents the waveform obtained by adding up the output voltages of the phases of inverter circuit I (the waveform shown in Fig. 5). When the fluctuating voltage waveform shown in Fig. 5 is applied to the equivalent circuit shown in Fig. 6, a harmonic current flows.

[0035] Figure 7 shows an equivalent circuit diagram that combines waveform C', which is the sum of the output voltages of each phase of converter circuit C, and waveform I', which is the sum of the output voltages of each phase of inverter circuit I in the equivalent circuit diagram of Figure 6. Note that waveform C', which is the sum of the output voltages of each phase of converter circuit C, and waveform I', which is the sum of the output voltages of each phase of converter circuit C, are nearly identical voltage waveforms. Because the inductances L3a-L3c of input filter reactors 3a-3c of input filter F1 and the inductances L7a-L7c of output filter reactors 7a-7c of output filter F2 are typically the same value, Lac1 can be expressed as Lac1 = L3a / 6. Similarly, because the capacitances C2a-C2c of input filter capacitors 2a-2c of F1 and the capacitances C8a-C8c of output filter capacitors 8a-8c of output filter F2 are the same value, Cac1 can be expressed as C2a x 6. For DC filter F3, the filter values ​​on the P-side and N-side are the same, so the inductances L9a and L9b of DC filter reactors 9a and 9b can be combined as Ldc1=L9a / 2, and the capacitances C10a and C10b of DC filter capacitors 10a and 10b of DC filter F3 can be combined as Cdc1=C10a×2. Harmonic currents flow when the voltage waveform C', which is the sum of the output voltages of each phase of converter circuit C, or the voltage waveform I', which is the sum of the output voltages of each phase of inverter circuit I, is applied to the equivalent circuit shown in Figure 7. The magnitude of the harmonic currents differs depending on the three-phase modulation control periods tr1, tr2, and tr3.

[0036] 7 is defined as the resonance period of the input filter F1, the DC filter F3, and the output filter F2. Specifically, the first resonance period T1 is defined by the following equation.

number

[0037] Fig. 8 shows an equivalent circuit for harmonic frequencies during battery operation when power is supplied from DC circuit D to AC load 92. As shown in Fig. 8, the equivalent circuit is made up of output filter capacitors 8a-8c and output filter reactors 7a-7c of output filter F2, and DC filter reactors 9a and 9b and DC filter capacitors 10a and 10b of DC filter F3. When a waveform obtained by adding up the output voltages of the phases of the inverter circuit I shown in FIG. 5 is applied, a harmonic current flows in the equivalent circuit.

[0038] Figure 9 is an equivalent circuit that rearranges the equivalent circuit in Figure 8. Because the inductances L7a to L7c of output filter reactors 7a to 7c of output filter F2 are usually the same value, they can be combined as Lac2 = L7a / 3. Similarly, because the capacitances C8a to C8c of output filter capacitors 8a to 8c of F2 are the same value, they can be combined as Cac2 = C8a × 3. For DC filter F3, the filter values ​​on the P and N sides are the same, so the inductances L9a and L9b of DC filter reactors 9a and 9b are Ldc2 = L9a / 2, and the capacitances C10a and C10b of DC filter capacitors 10a and 10b of DC filter F3 can be combined as Cdc2 = C10a × 2. When the voltage waveform I', which is the sum of the output voltages of each phase of the inverter circuit I, is applied to the equivalent circuit shown in Figure 9, harmonic currents flow. The magnitude of the harmonic currents differs depending on the three-phase modulation control periods tr1, tr2, and tr3.

[0039] The second resonance period T2 of the equivalent circuit shown in Fig. 9 is defined as the resonance period of the DC filter F3 and the output filter F2. Specifically, the second resonance period T2 is defined by the following equation.

number

[0040] 10 shows, as a comparison with the present embodiment, the waveform of the ripple current flowing through the DC filter F3 during normal operation when the three-phase modulation control periods tr1, tr2, and tr3 are set to 0. Because the three-phase modulation control periods tr1, tr2, and tr3 are set to 0, the power conversion device 1 does not perform PWM control using the three-phase modulation method, but only performs PWM control using the two-phase modulation method.

[0041] FIG. 11 shows the waveform of a ripple current flowing through the DC filter F3 in normal operation when the three-phase modulation control periods tr1, tr2, and tr3 are set to 1 / 2 the first resonance period T1 of the filter circuit in this embodiment.

[0042] Comparing Figures 10 and 11, it can be seen that when PWM control using three-phase modulation is performed while the phases of the two-phase modulation are switched, the ripple current flowing through the DC filter F3 while the phases of the two-phase modulation are switched can be reduced to less than half, compared to when only PWM control using two-phase modulation is performed.

[0043] Figure 12 shows the magnitude of the ripple current during normal operation versus the three-phase modulation control periods tr1, tr2, and tr3. As shown in Figure 12, by setting the three-phase modulation control periods tr1, tr2, and tr3 to be greater than or equal to 3 / 8 and less than or equal to 5 / 8 of the first resonant period T1 of the filter circuit, respectively, the ripple current flowing through the DC filter F3 during phase switching of the two-phase modulation can be suppressed. Furthermore, by setting the three-phase modulation control periods tr1, tr2, and tr3 to be 1 / 2 of the first resonant period T1 of the filter circuit, the ripple current flowing through the DC filter F3 during phase switching of the two-phase modulation can be suppressed to the greatest extent.

[0044] 10 to 12 illustrate the ripple current characteristics flowing through the DC filter F3 during two-phase modulation phase switching during normal operation. Similar ripple current characteristics are observed during battery operation. In other words, performing PWM control using three-phase modulation during two-phase modulation phase switching can suppress the ripple current flowing through the DC filter F3 more effectively than performing PWM control using only two-phase modulation. Furthermore, setting the three-phase modulation control periods tr1, tr2, and tr3 to be greater than or equal to 3 / 8 and less than or equal to 5 / 8 of the second resonant period T2 of the filter circuit can suppress the ripple current flowing through the DC filter F3 during two-phase modulation phase switching. Furthermore, setting the three-phase modulation control periods tr1, tr2, and tr3 to be half the second resonant period T2 of the filter circuit can suppress the ripple current flowing through the DC filter F3 during two-phase modulation phase switching.

[0045] Although the present embodiment has been described above, it goes without saying that the technical scope of the present embodiment should not be construed as being limited by the description of the present embodiment. The present embodiment is merely an example, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications of the embodiment are possible within the scope of the invention described in the claims. The technical scope of the present embodiment should be determined based on the scope of the invention described in the claims and its equivalents. [Explanation of symbols]
