Abstract

According to an embodiment of the invention, a control device is provided and controls a power converter that can be connected to a terminal of a direct current power transmission system transmitting power according to a current command value that is set. The control device includes a first characteristic setter having a first characteristic preset. When the power converter is set at a power transmission end of the direct current power transmission system, the first characteristic outputs an output terminal voltage for the power converter. The output terminal voltage corresponds to a current of a current control based on a current command value set at a power receiving end of the direct current power transmission system. The output terminal voltage of the first characteristic monotonously decreasing with respect to the current of the current control.

Claims (18)

1. A control device controlling a power converter, the power converter being capable of being connected to a terminal of a direct current power transmission system transmitting power according to a current command value that is set, the control device comprising:

a first characteristic setter having a first characteristic preset,

when the power converter is set at a power transmission end of the direct current power transmission system,

the first characteristic outputs an output terminal voltage for the power converter, the output terminal voltage corresponding to a current of a current control based on a current command value set at a power receiving end of the direct current power transmission system,

the output terminal voltage of the first characteristic monotonously decreasing with respect to the current of the current control.

2. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first characteristic is linear.

3. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first characteristic causes the output terminal voltage to be a maximum value when the current command value that may be set at the power receiving end is a minimum value.

4. The control device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a current controller performing at least a current control to track the current command value that may be set.

5. The control device according to claim 4 , wherein

the current controller operates at a maximum value of the current command value that may be set when a startup command is received from a higher-level system commanding the direct current power transmission system.

6. The control device according to claim 4 , wherein

the current controller performs a setting to a minimum value of the current command value that may be set when a power flow reversal command is received from a higher-level system commanding the direct current power transmission system.

7. A power conversion device, comprising:

a power converter mutually converting between an alternating current voltage and a direct current voltage; and

the control device according to claim 1 .
