Flows. The same applies to the line currents of the other phases. Therefore, the symbol Sjk represents whether or not the phase current ijk flows to the upper arm side switch element, and the symbol SjkB represents whether or not the phase current ijk flows to the lower arm side switch element.
- the symbols j and k are different from each other, but represent the symbols a, b, and c.

- the logical value on the right side of each of the above formulas is the result of comparing the phase voltage and the carrier in the voltage source inverter.
- the command value of the phase current ijk corresponds to the command value of the phase voltage Vj. Therefore, the logic of the symbol Sjk coincides with the logic of making the switch element Qjp conductive by comparing the phase voltage command Vj * and the carrier, and the logic of the symbol SjkB makes the switch element Qjn conductive by comparing the phase voltage command Vj * and the carrier. It matches the logic.

- the value of the phase voltage command Vs becomes the reference value drt when obtaining the command value to be compared with the carrier C.
- the reference value drt defines the commutation timing at which the switching elements Qrp and Qsp of the converter 4 are alternately turned on in a period proportional to the ratio of the values drt and dst.
- the above description is valid for the values of the voltage commands Vr * and Vt * at other phase angles as well.

- the inverter commutation signal generation unit 82 includes an output voltage command generation unit 21, an intermediate phase detection unit 22, a command value correction unit 23, a comparator 24, and a logic operation unit 25. Since the operation of the inverter commutation signal generator 82 is also known from Patent Documents 3 and 4, only a brief description will be given.
- the intermediate phase detection unit 22 determines which of the phase voltage commands Vr * , Vs * , and Vt * corresponds to a so-called intermediate phase.
- the phase voltage command Vs * corresponds to the intermediate phase at the phase angle of 0 to 60 ° illustrated in FIG.
- the ratio drt: dst is determined, and the values drt and dst are given to the command value correction unit 23. Since these ratios differ depending on which phase voltage command corresponds to the intermediate phase, in FIG. 11, the values corresponding to the values drt and dst are corrected, including the case where the phase voltage commands Vr * and Vt * are the intermediate phase.
- the values were described as dx and dy. This expression is adopted below.
- the line voltage commands Vrs * , Vst * , Vtr * uniquely determined from the phase voltage commands Vr * , Vs * , Vt * is an intermediate phase.
- the line voltage command Vst * becomes an intermediate phase at a phase angle of 0 to 30 degrees, and the value dst is set to 0 at this time.
- the line voltage command Vrs * becomes an intermediate phase, and the value drt is set to 0 at this time.
- the intermediate phase detection unit 22 may be provided in the inverter commutation signal generation unit 82, may be provided in the converter commutation signal generation unit 81 described above, or may be recognized as belonging to either of them. Good.
- the output voltage command generation unit 21 receives the voltage Vr (particularly its phase) and the operation frequency command value f *, and generates the voltage command values Vu * , Vv * , Vw * of the inverter 6.
- the generation of such voltage command values Vu * , Vv * , Vw * is a well-known technique and will not be described.
- the command value correction unit 23 generates a value to be compared with the carrier C for the commutation of the inverter 6 based on the voltage command values Vu * , Vv * , Vw * and the correction values dx, dy.
- the command value correction unit 23 determines a value based on the voltage command values Vu * , Vv * , Vw *.
- the command value correction unit 23 also outputs the values 0 and drt + dst. These values are compared with the carrier C in the comparator 24, and the result is input to the logical operation unit 25. Then, the logic operation unit 25 performs an operation based on the comparison result in the comparator 24 to generate the switching signals Sup, Svp, Swp, Sun, Svn, Swn.
- the switching signal generation unit 83 includes a switching command generation unit 31 and a switching signal generation unit 32.
- the switching command generation unit 31 determines switching between the first commutation mode and the second commutation mode (or natural commutation mode) based on the DC link voltage Vdc in accordance with a reference to be described later, and issues a switching command J. Generate.
- the trapezoidal voltage command generation unit 11 switches the type of trapezoidal wave exhibited by the output phase voltage commands Vr * , Vs * , Vt * .
- the intermediate phase detection in the intermediate phase detection unit 22 is substantially performed by changing the intermediate phase of the phase voltage commands Vr * , Vs * , Vt * to the second phase in the first commutation mode. In the commutation mode, it is preferable to detect intermediate phases of the line voltage commands Vrs * , Vst * , and Vtr * , respectively. Therefore, the intermediate phase detection unit 22 may switch between the phase voltage command and the line voltage command in accordance with the switching command J.
- the switching signal generator 83 does not need to function as described above, and all the switching signals Srp, Ssp, Stp, Srn, Ssn, Stn may be activated.
- a switching command J is given to the current source gate logic conversion unit 13.
- the current source gate logic conversion unit 13 performs the above-described operation.
- the current source gate logic conversion unit 13 outputs the activated switching signals Srp, Ssp, Stp, Srn, Ssn, Stn.
- the waveform of the phase voltage commands Vr * , Vs * , Vt * is generated for the second commutation mode, rather than causing the switching signal generator 83 to perform such a special operation for the natural commutation mode.
- This has the advantage of being easier from the viewpoint of device design. That is, in both the first and second commutation modes, the converter 4 is commutated by comparing the trapezoidal wave and the carrier, so that it is not necessary to design individually according to these commutation modes.
- the switching signal generator 32 deactivates the switching signal Scl. Further, when the second commutation mode or the natural commutation mode is set as the commutation mode of the converter 4, the switching signal generator 32 activates the switching signal Scl.
- the switching command J sets the first commutation mode / second commutation mode (or natural commutation mode) will be described below.
- FIG. 13 is a graph showing the relationship between the clamp voltage supported by the clamp circuit 5 and the load power factor when the shorting switch Qcl is not conducting.
- the power supply voltage was 415 V (error ⁇ 10%).
- the horizontal axis represents the load phase angle which is the arctangent value of the load power factor.
- the capacitors 51 and 52 are connected in series with each other during charging and are connected in parallel with each other during discharging. Therefore, the clamp voltage is shown by two graphs.
- the regenerative current becomes approximately the same as the current during power running, and the charging current to the clamp circuit 5 increases, and the clamp voltage during discharge becomes the peak value of the power supply voltage. It reaches about 650V which is close to.
- the shorting switch Qcl it is desirable to make the shorting switch Qcl conductive. This is because the current function during powering and the regenerative current are circulated by stopping the original function of the clamp circuit 5 and simply connecting the clamp circuit 5 to the capacitors 51 and 52 in series.
- the line voltage command illustrated in FIG. 3 employed in the first commutation mode corresponds to the line current command of the converter 4 as described above, but two switching patterns are mixed. is doing. For example, when the phase angle is 0 to 60 °, switching patterns corresponding to the line voltage commands Vrs * and Vst * are mixed. In this case, if the series connection of the capacitors 51 and 52 is charged to a potential higher than the lower one of the potentials of the input terminals Pr and Ps, the function of the diodes Drp and Dsp of the clamp circuit 5 allows the converter 4 Therefore, it becomes difficult to supply current from the inverter 6 to the inverter 6.
- the short-circuit switch Qcl is made conductive and the second commutation mode (or natural commutation mode) is employed. More specifically, the second commutation mode or the natural commutation mode is employed when the short-circuit switch Qcl is turned on in the state where the first commutation mode is employed. Note that the first commutation mode is adopted after the time point when the shorting switch Qcl becomes non-conductive.
- the load power factor can be estimated by detecting the clamp voltage supported by the capacitor, as understood from FIG.
- the fluctuation of the clamp voltage affects the magnitude of the DC link voltage Vdc, so that the load power factor can be estimated by detecting the DC link voltage Vdc. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11, the switching command generation unit 31 inputs the DC link voltage Vdc (or clamp voltage), obtains an average value Vdc1 therefrom, and the average value Vdc1 corresponds to the predetermined value for the load power factor.
- the switching command J can be generated in comparison with the threshold value to be used.
- the phase angle at which the current polarity is inverted with respect to the current phase angle is delayed by ⁇ / 6.
- the phase angle of the output voltage of the inverter since the phase angle of the output voltage of the inverter is known, the phase of the load current is detected from the difference between these phase angles, and the power factor based on this is detected.
- the size can be estimated. That is, instead of the DC link voltage Vdc shown in FIG. 11, the inverter output current zero cross and the inverter output voltage are input as the input to the switching command generator 31, and the phase difference between them and the predetermined value of the load power factor are input. And a switching command J can be generated. As FIG.
- FIG.6 (d) (e) of patent document 5 was shown.
- Graphs I_V4 and I_V6 indicate DC currents flowing when the inverter adopts voltage vectors V4 and V6, respectively, and graphs t4 and t6 indicate time ratios when the inverter adopts voltage vectors V4 and V6, respectively.
- the short-circuit switch Qcl is turned on at the beginning of startup, and this is used as a trigger for the second commutation. It is also preferable to adopt a mode or a natural commutation mode.
- the converter 4 is commutated in accordance with the second commutation mode or the natural commutation mode until the predetermined period elapses, and the short-circuit switch Qcl is turned off after the predetermined period elapses.
- the first commutation mode may be adopted after this point. In this way, when the load 7 is a rotating machine, it is possible to cope with a decrease in power factor due to a current that is delayed so that position detection can be performed at the beginning of the load 7.
- the clamp circuit 5 does not include the diodes 53 and 54, and a so-called CD snubber can be employed.
- the load power factor is not more than ⁇ 3 / 2
- the clamp circuit 5 does not function effectively even if the shorting switch Qcl is made non-conductive. Therefore, it is desirable to wait for the switching command J to select the first commutation mode until the load power factor becomes ⁇ 3 / 2 or more.
- FIG. 15 is a graph showing the relationship between the clamp voltage supported by the clamp circuit 5 and the load power factor when the shorting switch Qcl is not conducting, as in FIG. However, since the power supply voltage is lower than that shown in FIG. 13, the clamp voltage is also low.
- the clamp circuit 5 discharges the capacitors 51 and 52 connected in parallel, so the clamp voltage is halved.
- the decrease in the clamp voltage weakens the linkage flux of the rotating machine, and there is a possibility that the current increases and the inverter 6 stops or the operation is stopped due to step-out.
- FIG. 16 is a graph showing the operation when the clamp circuit 5 is functioning even during an instantaneous power failure.
- the power supply voltage generated by the power supply 1 is 50 Hz 400 V, and the case where a power failure occurs for a quarter period is illustrated.
- the power supply phase voltages Vr, Vs, and Vt are voltages at the input terminals Pr, Ps, and Pt, respectively, and the power supply line currents Ir, Is, and It are currents that flow from the capacitor group 3 to the input terminals Ir, Is, and It, respectively.
- the series voltage Vc is the sum of the voltages supported by the capacitors 51 and 52 in the clamp circuit 5
- the DC link voltage Vdc is the voltage between the DC power supply lines LH and LL
- the load line voltage is at the output terminals Pu, Pv and Pw.
- the difference between the applied voltages Vu, Vv, and Vw (however, the difference between the voltages Vu and Vv is shown in the figure), and the load line currents Iu, Iv, and Iw are respectively obtained from the output terminals Pu, Pv, and Pw.
- the current flowing out to the load 7 is shown.
- the switching signal Scl is activated when the average value Vcd1 of the DC link voltage Vdc falls below a first threshold (for example, 400 V).
- a first threshold for example, 400 V.
- FIG. 17 and 18 both activate the switching signal Scl as described above.
- the switching signal Scl is activated, the commutation mode of the converter 4 is set to the 120-degree conduction mode (second commutation mode or natural commutation mode).
- FIG. 6 is a graph showing an operation when the commutation mode of the converter 4 is set to the first commutation mode when the switching signal Scl is inactive.
- the power supply voltage generated by the power supply 1 is 50 Hz 400 V, and the case where a power failure occurs for a quarter period is illustrated.
- the capacitors 51 and 52 are connected in series between the DC power supply lines LH and LL while the switching signal Scl is activated, the DC link voltage Vdc matches the clamp circuit series voltage Vc.
- FIG. 17 exemplifies a case where the switching signal Scl is deactivated by maintaining a value for which the DC link voltage Vdc exceeds the second threshold (which is equal to or higher than the first threshold, for example, 450 V) for a predetermined period.
- FIG. 18 illustrates a case where the switching signal Scl is deactivated when the DC link voltage Vdc exceeds a second threshold value (which is equal to or higher than the first threshold value, for example, 600 V).
- the operation shown in FIG. 17 has an advantage that the DC link voltage Vdc at the time of shifting to the first commutation mode does not become excessive, and the DC link voltage Vdc does not easily become excessive thereafter.
- the operation shown in FIG. 18 has an advantage that the number of ringing occurring in the power supply line currents Ir, Is, It is small.
- FIG. 19 is also a graph showing an operation associated with an instantaneous power failure. Similarly to the operation shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, this operation also activates the switching signal Scl when the average value Vdc1 of the DC link voltage Vdc falls below a first threshold (for example, 400 V). The operation shown in FIG. 19 is also in that the switching signal Scl is deactivated when the DC link voltage Vdc exceeds a second threshold value (which is equal to or higher than the first threshold value, for example, 600 V). The operation is the same as that shown in FIG.
- a delay is provided for a predetermined time from when the switching signal Scl is deactivated to when the operation mode is changed to the 120-degree energization mode. That is, the operations shown in FIGS. 17 to 19 are common in that the first commutation mode is adopted after the point when the shorting switch Qcl becomes non-conductive, but is shown in FIG. The operation is different from the operations shown in FIGS. 17 and 18 in that the first commutation mode is adopted after a predetermined time after the short-circuiting switch Qcl is turned off. .
- Such a delay of the predetermined time can be realized by counting time in the trapezoidal voltage command generation unit 11 even if the switching command J sets the first commutation mode.
- the 120-degree energization mode is employed for commutation of the converter 4 from the time when the switching signal Scl is deactivated until the transition to the 120-degree energization mode.
- the power supply line currents Ir, Is, It are greatly disturbed, but the DC link voltage Vdc is not impaired. .
- the DC link voltage Vdc may be detected to detect a power failure, and the converter may be commutated using the 120-degree conduction mode at the time of the power failure.
- the timing for activating the switching signal Scl may be determined not only using the average value Vdc1 but also using the DC link voltage Vdc itself. As shown in FIG. 16 and as described with reference to FIG. 20, the DC link voltage Vdc transitions between envelopes by switching of the converter 4. Therefore, for example, when the first threshold is set to 400 V as described above, the DC link voltage Vdc is discretely set to a value smaller than the first threshold even during normal operation.
- the sensitivity of the switching command generator 31 with respect to the DC link voltage Vdc may be reduced. Specifically, a long time is required for the switching command generation unit 31 to recognize the magnitude of the DC link voltage Vdc. For example, when the DC link voltage Vdc is maintained below the first threshold value for a predetermined period, the switching command J is generated and the shorting switch Qcl is turned on.
- comparing the average value Vdc1 with the first threshold value is advantageous in that it is not necessary to continuously measure the DC link voltage Vdc for a predetermined period.
- the function for obtaining the average value Vdc1 from the DC link voltage Vdc may be performed by the switching command generator 31.
- the function may be assigned to a separately provided calculation unit or integration circuit, and the average value Vdc1 may be input to the switching command generation unit 31.

第2の転流モードでキャリアと比較される台形波は、実質的に矩形波であるので、平坦区間の一対の間で遷移する期間は非常に短い。
自然転流モードは、第1スイッチング素子群の全てが導通することにより、キャリアとの比較を行わずに第1ダイオード群のみで整流するモードである。
コンバータ転流信号生成部81は、入力端Prの電圧Vr(特にその位相)を入力し、スイッチング信号Srp,Ssp,Stp,Srn,Ssn,Stnを出力する。スイッチング信号Srp,Ssp,Stp,Srn,Ssn,Stnの活性/非活性により、それぞれスイッチング素子Qrp,Qsp,Qtp,Qrn,Qsn,Qtnの各々が導通/非導通する。
インバータ転流信号生成部82は、出力電圧指令生成部21と、中間相検出部22と、指令値補正部23と、比較器24と、論理演算部25とを有する。インバータ転流信号生成部82の動作も特許文献3,4で公知であるので、簡単な説明に留める。
切り替え信号生成部83は切り替え指令生成部31と、切り替え信号発生部32とを有している。切り替え指令生成部31は、後述する基準に従って、直流リンク電圧Vdcに基づいて第1の転流モードと、第2の転流モード(若しくは自然転流モード)の切替えを判断して切り替え指令Jを生成する。
まず出力端Pu,Pv,Pwに接続される負荷7(図1参照)の力率(以下、単に「負荷力率」と称す)が低下したときに、コンバータ4の転流モードとして第2の転流モード(もしくは自然転流モード)を採用する技術について説明する。
図15は図13と同様に、短絡用スイッチQclが導通していないときの、クランプ回路5が支持するクランプ電圧と、負荷力率との関係を示すグラフである。但し電源電圧は図13に示された場合よりも低いため、クランプ電圧も低くなっている。
