Abstract

The power supply device includes a plurality of boost converters connected in parallel to boost and supply power from the power storage device, and a control device for controlling each of the boost converters. When the electronic control unit 50 cannot operate the plurality of boost converters by the feedback control, the control device operates only one of the plurality of boost converters by the feed forward control.

Claims (16)

1. A power supply device, comprising:

a plurality of boost converters connected in parallel configured to boost and supply power from a power storage device;

a control device configured to control each boost converter, wherein

the control device operates one boost converter of the plurality of boost converters by feed forward control in a specific abnormal state in which the control device cannot operate the plurality of boost converters by feedback control.

2. The power supply device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the control device controls each boost converter based on a current flowing through each boost converter by feedback control, and the control device determines that the specific abnormal state occurs when the current flowing through each boost converter cannot be detected.

3. The power supply device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the control device operates the one boost converter by duty control as the feed forward control.

4. The power supply device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the boost converter operated by the feed forward control is the boost converter having the lowest temperature among the plurality of boost converters.

5. The power supply device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the control device operates the one boost converter by duty control as the feed forward control.

6. The power supply device according to claim 5 ,

wherein the boost converter operated by the feed forward control is the boost converter having the lowest temperature among the plurality of boost converters.

7. The power supply device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the boost converter operated by the feed forward control is the boost converter having the lowest temperature among the plurality of boost converters.
