Converter control device
View Patent ↗A converter device which is configured by connecting three converter circuits in parallel is provided between a secondary battery serving as a first power supply and a fuel cell serving as a second power supply. A control unit includes a PID control module which controls the converter device by PID control, for executing desired voltage conversion; a module for modifying the number of drive phases which changes the number of drive phases of the converter device in response to an electric power passing through the converter device; and a gain switching module which switches feedback gains in the PID control when the number of drive phases is changed.
1. A converter control device which is connected between a first power supply and a second power supply; includes a converter device configuration in which a plurality of converters each having a plurality of switching elements and a reactor and performing voltage conversion bi-directionally are connected in parallel; and changes the number of converter phases to be driven in response to an electric power passing through the converter device, the converter control device comprising:
a control unit which provides feedback of an actual value of an actual operating duty ratio with respect to a duty ratio command value to be given to the plurality of the switching elements to perform voltage conversion, and suppresses deviation between the actual operating duty ratio and the duty ratio command value;
a storing device that obtains and pre-stores data regarding a relationship between control gains in feedback control and the number of drive phases, and
a gain switching device to switch the control gains in the feedback control to a control gain corresponding to the number of drive phases that changed from a former phase number state when the number of drive phases is changed in response to the electric power passing through the converter device,
wherein the gain switching device has a mechanism that determines the number of drive phases, and
the gain switching device switches the gains after confirming that the number of drive phases is changed by determining the number of drive phases.
2. The converter control device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the storing device
stores values in which the control gains in the feedback control are obtained for each of the number of drive phases based on response characteristic and controllability in the feedback control.
