Abstract

Abstract In the control method for a PWM converter according to the present invention, an upper limit value of an inphase component of an instruction voltage for controlling an AC/DC converter is prescribed, and in the region where the upper limit value is exceeded, the inphase component of the instruction voltage is controlled to be within the prescribed upper limit value by setting a reactive component value corresponding to the exceeding quantity. This makes it possible to offer a low priced, stable control method for a PWM converter.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 128 words
A control method for a PWM converter, being provided with a PWM controlled power converter for converting AC power supplied from an AC power supply to DC power, comprising: a first step of setting an upper limit value of an inphase-voltage set-value, being in phase with the AC power supply, of an instruction voltage which controls said power converter, and a second step of limiting the inphase-voltage set-value of said instruction voltage up to said upper limit value by setting a reactive-voltage set-value of the instruction voltage whose phase is orthogonal with the AC power supply and whose amplitude is equivalent to a surplus of the inphase-voltage set-value of the instruction voltage to said upper limit value in case of the inphase-voltage set-value exceeding the upper limit value.
