Abstract
Abstract A power converter device that interchanges power between a first A. C. system and a second A. C. system, including an externally commutated power converter controlled such that the D. C. voltage of a D. C. line tracks a reference value, a voltage type self-commutated power converter which converts the output D. C. power of the externally commutated power converter to A. C. power under pulse width control and supplies the converted A. C. power to the second A. C. system, interchange power control means for controlling the phase difference angle of the voltage on the A. C. side of the voltage type self-commutated power converter and the voltage of the second A. C. system such that the interchange power tracks a reference value, and reactive power control means for controlling the control factor of the pulse width control such that the reactive power generated by the voltage type self-commutated power converter tracks another reference value.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
209 words
A power converter device that interchanges power between a first A.C. system and a second A.C. system, comprising: an externally commutated power converter which converts A.C. power supplied from the first A.C. system to D.C. power on a D.C. line; a voltage type self-commutated power converter which converts the output D.C. power of said externally commutated power converter to A.C. power under pulse width control and supplies the converted A.C. power to the second A.C. system, said D.C. line effecting electrical coupling between said externally commutated power converter and said voltage type self-commutated power converter; D.C. voltage control means for determining the control angle of said externally commutated power converter such that the D.C. voltage of said D.C. line tracks a first reference value; interchange power control means for controlling the phase difference angle of the voltage on the A.C. side of said voltage type self-commutated power converter and the voltage of the second A.C. system such that the interchange power between the first A.C. system and the second A.C. system tracks a second reference value; and reactive power control means for controlling the control factor of the pulse width control such that the reactive power generated by said voltage type self-commutated power converter tracks a third reference value.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
