Abstract

The present disclosure provides a system for controlling a power device including one or more power elements, one or more drive modules configured to provide a drive signal with respect to the one or more power elements through a signal line and provided with a first wireless module, and an upper level controller configured to a control signal with respect to the one or more drive modules through a signal line and provided with a second wireless module corresponding to the first wireless module, wherein each of the one or more drive modules transmits state information of the one or more power elements and the one or more drive modules to the second wireless module through the first wireless module, and the upper level controller transmits a control signal corresponding to the state information to the first wireless module through the second wireless module.

Claims (18)

1. A system for controlling a power device, comprising:

one or more power elements;

one or more drive modules configured to provide a drive signal with respect to the one or more power elements through a signal line; and

an upper level controller configured to transmit a control signal with respect to the one or more drive modules through a signal line,

wherein each of the one or more drive modules is provided with a first wireless module,

wherein the upper level controller is provided with a second wireless module corresponding to the first wireless module,

wherein each of the one or more drive modules is configured to transmit state information of the one or more power elements and the one or more drive modules to the second wireless module through the first wireless module,

wherein the upper level controller is configured to transmit a control signal corresponding to the state information to the first wireless module through the second wireless module,

wherein each of the one or more drive modules is configured to transmit an error feedback signal with respect to a state of the one or more power elements and a state of the one or more drive modules to the upper level controller, and generate the drive signal with respect to the one or more power elements being directly connected thereto.

2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

at least one controller which is an upper layer than the upper level controller and configured to perform a reception of the state information and a transmission of a control signal with respect to the one or more drive modules through a wireless module corresponding to the first wireless module.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein, when the one or more power elements and the one or more drive modules connected thereto respectively exist two or more, each of the two or more drive modules is provided with the first wireless module.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein, when the one or more power elements and the one or more drive modules connected thereto respectively exist two or more, the two or more drive modules share the first wireless module.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein, when two or more power modules, each of which is configured with a structure in which the two or more power elements connected to the two or more drive modules are connected in parallel are connected in series, each of the two or more power modules includes the first wireless module which is shared by the two or more drive modules.

6. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a next upper controller configured to provide a control signal with respect to the one or more drive modules and the upper level controller through a signal line and provided with a third wireless module corresponding to the first wireless module and the second wireless module,

wherein each of the one or more drive modules is configured to transmit the state information of the one or more power elements and the one or more drive modules to the third wireless module through the first wireless module, and

the next upper controller is configured to transmit a control signal corresponding to the state information to the first wireless module or the second wireless module through the third wireless module.
