(電力変換装置の全体構成)
図1は、本実施の形態に係る電力変換装置1の概略構成図である。
交流電圧検出器10は、交流回路12のU相の交流電圧Vacu、V相の交流電圧Vacv、及び、W相の交流電圧Vacwを検出する。以下の説明では、Vacu、Vacv、及び、Vacwを総称してVacとも記載する。
図2(a)及び図2(b)は、電力変換器2を構成する変換器セル7の構成例を示す回路図である。
図3は、図1に示された制御装置3の内部構成を説明する機能ブロック図である。
図5を参照して、基本制御部502は、アーム電圧指令生成部601を含む。更に、制御装置3は、アーム電圧指令生成部601で用いられる電圧評価値Vcgを生成する電圧評価値生成部700をさらに備える。
Iz=(Iarmp+Iarmn)/2-Idc/3 …(2)
電圧マクロ制御部610は、電圧評価値生成部700によって生成された電圧評価値Vcgに基づいて、電力変換器2の全ての変換器セル7での蓄積エネルギの過不足、及び、グループ間(各相レグ回路間又はアーム間)での蓄積エネルギの不均衡を補償するように、循環電流指令値Izrefを生成する。
図6を参照して、アーム制御部503は、Ncell個の個別セル制御部202を含む。
図7を参照して、個別セル制御部202は、キャリア発生器203と、個別電圧制御部205と、加算器206と、ゲート信号生成部207とを有する。
このように、本実施の形態に係る電力変換装置では、変換器セル7のキャパシタ電圧Vcは、変換器セル7毎での個別制御(個別電圧制御部205)と、電力変換器2の全体、又は、同じグループ(各相レグ回路又はアーム)内の複数の変換器セル7での蓄積エネルギを制御するためのマクロ制御(電圧マクロ制御部610)との多階層で制御されることが理解される。
但し、Carm=Csm×Ncell
又、式(1)に従った、上アーム5及び下アーム6のキャパシタ電圧推定値を平均することで、各相(レグ回路4)のキャパシタ電圧Vcの推定値を求めることも可能である。
式(4)において、Ctは、電力変換器2全体での変換器セル7でのキャパシタ32の容量値の総和を意味しており、Ct=3×2×Ncell×Csmで与えられる。又、Vsmは、各キャパシタ32の電圧の公称値を意味している。
