Abstract

In a control unit for drive-controlling a switching element unit of each power conversion device, a voltage correction amount calculation unit calculates a correction amount corresponding to voltage drop due to impedance between the switching element unit and filter reactor. A voltage command correcting unit corrects a voltage command generated by the voltage command generation unit, using the correction amount. Thus, for a power conversion device 21 that has a small output impedance, correction is performed so as to increase the output impedance, and a PLL unit changes the frequency in accordance with active power calculated from output voltage and output current of the power conversion device, so as to uniform power allocations.
