  Incidentally, in recent years, in photovoltaic power generation systems and the like, there is an increasing need for power conversion devices that can perform not only one of inverter operation and converter operation, but also both inverter operation and converter operation.

  However, power converter 10 of patent documents 1 cannot perform converter operation on circuit composition. For this reason, in order to realize a power conversion device capable of performing both operations using the power conversion device 10, it is necessary to provide a circuit capable of converter operation in parallel with the power conversion device 10, which Costing is inevitable. Further, the inverter operation by the power conversion device 10 includes two conversions of DC / DC conversion by the chopper circuit 11 and DC / AC conversion by the bridge circuit 12, so that there is a problem that efficiency is poor.

  On the other hand, the converter operation by the power conversion device 20 of Patent Document 2 is efficient because the AC voltage Vac can be converted into the DC voltage Vdc by a single AC / DC conversion. However, it is not assumed that the power converter 20 is used as a converter, and Patent Document 2 does not disclose anything about the converter operation of the power converter 20.

  In this case, in the (A) inverter step-down chopper operation, the control unit turns on the first switching element, turns off the second and third switching elements, and alternately switches the fourth switching element and the fifth switching element. (B) In the inverter step-up chopper operation, the fifth switching element is turned on, the third and fourth switching elements are turned off, and the first switching element and the second switching element are alternated. (C) In the inverter inversion buck-boost chopper operation, the second switching element is turned on, the first and fourth switching elements are turned off, and the third switching element and the fifth switching element are May be alternately controlled on / off.

  In order to solve the above-described problem, the power conversion device according to the second invention of the present invention is such that, in the first power conversion device, the control unit performs on / off control of the first to fifth switching elements. The AC voltage input from the AC side terminal pair can be set to a desired target voltage value by selectively performing any one of a plurality of converter operations including a converter step-up / step-down chopper operation and a converter inversion step-up / step-down chopper operation. It is also possible to convert the voltage into a DC voltage having an output from the DC side terminal pair.

  According to this configuration, it is possible to cause the chopper unit to selectively perform one of a plurality of converter operations including a converter buck-boost chopper operation and a converter inversion buck-boost chopper operation by simply changing the control by the control unit. Since there is no need to separately provide an operable circuit, it is possible to realize a power conversion device that can perform both inverter operation and converter operation without increasing the cost.

  For example, when the target voltage value is set to a positive value, the control unit of the power conversion device according to the second aspect of the present invention provides a converter step-up / down voltage when the voltage value detected by the AC voltage detection unit is positive. A chopper operation can be selected, and (B) the converter inversion step-up / step-down chopper operation can be selected when the voltage value detected by the AC voltage detector is negative.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of a power conversion device according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[Example 1]
FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a power conversion device 1A according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the power conversion device 1A converts the DC voltage Vdc input from the first terminal 6a and the second terminal 6b constituting the DC side terminal pair into a desired AC voltage Vac, and converts the AC side terminal pair. The AC voltage Vac is output from the third terminal 7a and the fourth terminal 7b constituting the circuit, and between the first terminal 6a and the second terminal 6b, the chopper part 2 having a plurality of switching elements SW1 to SW5. DC voltage detector 3 for detecting the voltage value of the current, AC voltage detector 4 for detecting the voltage value between the third terminal 7a and the fourth terminal 7b, and the DC voltage detector 3 and the AC voltage detector 4 are detected. And a control unit 5A that controls the chopper unit 2 so that the voltage value of the AC voltage Vac becomes a voltage value detected by the AC voltage detection unit 4 based on the voltage value.

  The DC side terminal pair (first terminal 6a, second terminal 6b) is connected to, for example, a storage battery that outputs a DC voltage Vdc. More specifically, the first terminal 6a is connected to the positive electrode of the storage battery, and the second terminal 6b is connected to the negative electrode of the storage battery. In the present embodiment, the DC voltage detector 3 detects the voltage value of the DC voltage Vdc output from the storage battery.

  On the other hand, the AC side terminal pair (the third terminal 7a and the fourth terminal 7b) is connected to, for example, a commercial system. In the present embodiment, the AC voltage detection unit 4 detects the voltage value of the system voltage, and the chopper unit 2 outputs the AC voltage Vac having a voltage value equal to the detected voltage value. That is, 1 A of power converter devices output the alternating voltage Vac which followed the system voltage. As a result of the tracking, the voltage value of the AC voltage Vac becomes equal to the voltage value of the system voltage.

  The chopper unit 2 includes a first switching element SW1 and a third switching element SW3 each having one end connected to the third terminal 7a, and a second switching element SW2 having one end connected to the other end of the first switching element SW1. Coil L, third switching element SW3, fourth switching element SW4 and fifth switching element SW5 having one end connected to the other end of coil L, and capacitor having one end connected to the other end of fifth switching element SW5 C1. The other ends of the second switching element SW2, the fourth switching element SW4 and the capacitor C1 are connected to the fourth terminal 7b and the second terminal 6b, respectively, and the other end of the fifth switching element SW5 is connected to the first terminal 6a. . The switching elements SW1 to SW5 are on / off controlled by the control unit 5A.

  As shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, the voltage value detected by the DC voltage detector 3 (= the voltage value of the DC voltage Vdc) and the voltage value detected by the AC voltage detector 4 (= the voltage value of the AC voltage Vac). ), The control unit 5A selects the inverter operation to be performed by the chopper unit 2 from the three inverter operations.

  Specifically, the chopper unit 2 of the power conversion device 1A is (A) when the voltage value of the AC voltage Vac is positive and smaller than the voltage value of the DC voltage Vdc, that is, “0 <Vac voltage value”. <Inverter step-down chopper operation is selected when the relationship of <voltage value of Vdc> is established, and (B) when the DC voltage Vdc is smaller than the voltage value of the AC voltage Vac, that is, “Vdc voltage value <Vac voltage”. When the “value” relationship is satisfied, the inverter boost chopper operation is selected, and (C) when the voltage value of the AC voltage Vac is negative, that is, the relationship of “Vac voltage value <0” is satisfied. Select the inverter reverse buck-boost chopper operation. The power conversion device 1A causes the AC voltage Vac to follow the commercial voltage by sequentially selecting the operations (A) to (C).

  Note that at the boundary of the selection condition, either of the two inverter operations separated by the boundary may be selected. For example, when the relationship of “Vdc voltage value = Vac voltage value” is established, the inverter step-down chopper operation of (A) may be selected, or the inverter step-up chopper operation of (B) may be selected. Good. However, when the relationship of “voltage value of Vdc = voltage value of Vac” is established, if the inverter step-down chopper operation of (A) is selected, the operation is performed with the duty α = 1, so that the switching elements SW1 to SW5 Depending on the amount of resistance components such as on-resistance, it becomes difficult to output a desired AC voltage Vac. Therefore, in consideration of resistance components such as the on-resistance of the switching elements SW1 to SW5, when the relationship of “voltage value of Vdc = voltage value of Vac” is established, the inverter boost chopper operation of (B) can be selected. preferable.

(A) Inverter step-down chopper operation Among the three inverter operations of the chopper unit 2, an inverter step-down chopper operation will be described first. In this operation, the first switching element SW1 is always turned on, and the second switching element SW2 and the third switching element SW3 are always turned off. Therefore, the power conversion device 1A during this operation is expressed by a simple equivalent circuit shown in FIG.

  In this operation, the fourth switching element SW4 and the fifth switching element SW5 are alternately turned on / off. That is, when the fourth switching element SW4 is switched from the on state to the off state, the fifth switching element SW5 is synchronously switched from the off state to the on state. When the fifth switching element SW5 is turned on, energy is stored in the coil L. On the other hand, when the fourth switching element SW4 is turned on, the energy stored in the coil L is released.

When the on-time of the fifth switching element SW5 in one switching period T is Ton, a preferable duty α (= Ton / T) of the fifth switching element SW5 can be obtained by the following equation.

α = Vac voltage value / Vdc voltage value

  According to the inverter step-down chopper operation, the input voltage Vdc can be stepped down to obtain the AC voltage Vac having a desired voltage value.

(B) Inverter Boost Chopper Operation In the inverter boost chopper operation, the fifth switching element SW5 is always turned on, and the third switching element SW3 and the fourth switching element SW4 are always turned off. Therefore, the power conversion device 1A during this operation is expressed by a simple equivalent circuit shown in FIG.

That is, when the first switching element SW1 is switched from the on state to the off state, the second switching element SW2 is synchronously switched from the off state to the on state. When the second switching element SW2 is turned on, energy is stored in the coil L. On the other hand, when the first switching element SW1 is turned on, the energy stored in the coil L is released.

When the on-time of the second switching element SW2 in one switching cycle T is Ton, a preferable duty α (= Ton / T) of the second switching element SW2 can be obtained by the following equation.

α = 1−Vdc voltage value / Vac voltage value

  According to the inverter boost chopper operation, the input voltage Vdc can be boosted to obtain an AC voltage Vac having a desired voltage value.

(C) Inverter Inverting Buck-Boost Chopper Operation In the inverter inversion buck-boost chopper operation, the second switching element SW2 is always turned on, and the first switching element SW1 and the fourth switching element SW4 are always turned off. . Therefore, the power conversion device 1A during this operation is expressed by a simple equivalent circuit shown in FIG.

  In this operation, the third switching element SW3 and the fifth switching element SW5 are alternately turned on / off. That is, when the third switching element SW3 is switched from the on state to the off state, the fifth switching element SW5 is synchronously switched from the off state to the on state. When the fifth switching element SW5 is turned on, energy is stored in the coil L. On the other hand, when the third switching element SW3 is turned on, the energy stored in the coil L is released.

When the on-time of the fifth switching element SW5 in one switching period T is Ton, the duty α (= Ton / T) of the fifth switching element SW5 can be obtained by the following equation.

α = | Vac voltage value | / (Vdc voltage value + | Vac voltage value |)

  According to the inverter inverting step-up / down chopper operation, the AC voltage Vac having a desired voltage value can be obtained by inverting and stepping up / down the input voltage Vdc.

  As described above, in the power conversion device 1A according to the first embodiment, instead of the two conversions performed continuously like the power conversion device 10 of Patent Document 1, one conversion in the chopper unit 2, that is, DC voltage Vdc is converted to AC voltage Vac by any one of (A) inverter step-down chopper operation, (B) inverter step-up chopper operation, and (C) inverter inversion step-up / step-down chopper operation. Therefore, according to 1 A of power converter devices, the deterioration of the efficiency of the whole apparatus by each of two conversions deteriorating efficiency can be prevented.

To do. In the present embodiment, the target voltage value Vt is always positive.

  Specifically, the chopper unit 2 of the power conversion device 1B includes the converter step-up / step-down chopper when (A) the voltage value of the AC voltage Vac is positive, that is, when the relationship of “0 <Vac voltage value” is satisfied. (B) When the voltage value of the AC voltage Vac is negative, that is, when the relationship of “Vac voltage value <0” is established, the converter inversion step-up / down chopper operation is selected. FIG. 7 shows a state where the voltage value of the DC voltage Vdc becomes the target voltage value Vt by the converter operation.

(A) Converter Buck-Boost Chopper Operation Of the two converter operations of the chopper unit 2, the converter buck-boost chopper operation will be described first. In this operation, the third switching element SW3 is always turned off. Therefore, the power conversion device 1B during this operation is expressed by a simple equivalent circuit shown in FIG.

  In this operation, the first switching element SW1, the fourth switching element SW4, the second switching element SW2, and the fifth switching element SW5 are alternately turned on / off. That is, when the first switching element SW1 and the fourth switching element SW4 are switched from the on state to the off state, the second switching element SW2 and the fifth switching element SW5 are synchronously switched from the off state to the on state. When the first switching element SW1 and the fourth switching element SW4 are turned on, energy is stored in the coil L. On the other hand, when the second switching element SW2 and the fifth switching element SW5 are turned on, the energy stored in the coil L is released.

When the on-time of the first switching element SW1 and the fourth switching element SW4 in one switching cycle T is Ton, a preferable duty α (= Ton / T) of the first switching element SW1 and the fourth switching element SW4 is Can be sought.

α = Vdc voltage value / (Vdc voltage value + Vac voltage value)

  According to the converter step-up / step-down chopper operation, the direct-current voltage Vdc whose voltage value is the target voltage value Vt can be obtained by stepping up / down the alternating voltage Vac.
