Abstract

A control device for a power converter that can suppress oscillation of an output voltage of the power converter. The control device for the power converter includes an overvoltage detector configured to detect an overvoltage on an output side of the power converter and a controller configured to, when the overvoltage on the output side of the power converter is detected by the overvoltage detector, perform gate block after reducing a current command value given to the power converter. With the configuration, when the overvoltage on the output side of the power converter is detected, the control device performs the gate block after reducing the current command value given to the power converter. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress oscillation of an output voltage of the power converter.

Claims (6)

1. A control device for a power converter comprising:

an overvoltage detector configured to detect an overvoltage on an output side of the power converter; and

a controller configured to, when the overvoltage on the output side of the power converter is detected by the overvoltage detector, perform gate block after reducing a current command value given to the power converter,

the overvoltage detector detecting the overvoltage on the output side of the power converter connected between solar power generation equipment and an AC power supply, and

when the overvoltage on the output side of the power converter is detected by the overvoltage detector, before reducing the current command value given to the power converter, the controller temporarily increasing a cutoff frequency of a low-pass filter of a DC voltage detector provided between the solar power generation equipment and the power converter.

2. The control device for the power converter according to claim 1 , further comprising means for comparing at least two of an absolute value of a system voltage, a phase voltage, and a line voltage with a predetermined threshold and detecting the overvoltage.
