- the npn transistor 240 is turned off while the npn transistor 250 is on, and the npn transistor 240 is turned on while the npn transistor 250 is off.
- the time when the upper arm npn transistor 240 is on is the time when the upper arm npn transistor 240 is off (lower arm npn transistor 250). For a longer time).
- the duty ratio of the npn transistor 240 of the upper arm is made larger than 50%.
- the duty ratio of the npn transistor 250 of the lower arm is made smaller than 50%.
- the duty ratio of the npn transistor 250 of the lower arm is maintained at about 10%.
- the duty ratio is not limited to this.
- the duty ratio of the converter 200 when discharging the filter capacitor 230 and the smoothing capacitor 232 is determined by the developer based on results of experiments and simulations, for example. In one example, the duty ratio of converter 200 when discharging filter capacitor 230 and smoothing capacitor 232 is determined such that voltage VL of filter capacitor 230 and voltage VH of smoothing capacitor 232 are substantially the same.
- the electric power stored in the filter capacitor 230 is supplied to the MG-ECU 172 via the DC / DC converter 234.
- the IPM 204 when discharging the filter capacitor 230 and the smoothing capacitor 232, the IPM 204 operates at the same frequency as during power running and regeneration.
- the program described below is executed, for example, when a discharge command signal is received from PM-ECU 170 when the vehicle is stopped.
- step (hereinafter, step is abbreviated as S) 100 MG-ECU 172 controls converter 200 to discharge filter capacitor 230.
- MG-ECU 172 controls converter 200 to discharge smoothing capacitor 232.
- converter 200 When MG-ECU 172 receives a discharge command signal from PM-ECU 170, converter 200 is controlled to discharge filter capacitor 230 (S100), and converter 200 is controlled to discharge smoothing capacitor 232 (S102). ).
- the filter capacitor 230 and the smoothing capacitor 232 are It is discharged alternately.
- the power discharged from the filter capacitor 230 is applied to the reactor 202 and the lower arm as shown by the arrows in FIG.
- the current flows to the npn transistor 250. Therefore, the charge remaining in the filter capacitor 230 can be consumed by the loss of the reactor 202 and the loss of the npn transistor 250 in the lower arm of the IPM 204.
- the electric power discharged from the smoothing capacitor 232 is changed to the reactor as shown by the arrow in FIG. 202 and the upper arm npn transistor 240. Therefore, the charge remaining in the smoothing capacitor 232 can be consumed by the loss of the reactor 202 and the loss of the npn transistor 240 in the upper arm of the IPM 204.
- the time during which the upper arm npn transistor 240 is on (the time when the lower arm npn transistor 250 is off) is the time during which the upper arm npn transistor 240 is off (lower) Longer than the time during which the npn transistor 250 of the arm is on.
- the filter capacitor 230 and the smoothing capacitor 232 can be discharged so that the difference between the voltage VL of the filter capacitor 230 and the voltage VH of the smoothing capacitor 232 becomes small. Therefore, when voltage VH of smoothing capacitor 232 is high, voltage VL of filter capacitor 230 that is the power source of MG-ECU 172 can be maintained so that MG-ECU 172 can operate normally. As a result, the filter capacitor 230 and the smoothing are reduced until the voltage VL of the filter capacitor 230 decreases below the lower limit value of the voltage at which the MG-ECU 172 can operate normally due to the decrease of the voltage VH of the smoothing capacitor 232. Converter 200 can be controlled to discharge capacitor 232 normally. That is, the voltage VL of the filter capacitor 230 and the voltage of the smoothing capacitor 232VH can be sufficiently reduced.
- converter 200 controls converter 200 so that converter 200 operates at a constant duty ratio, the ratio between the voltage of filter capacitor 230 and the voltage of smoothing capacitor 232 during discharge can be made constant. Therefore, the voltage of the filter capacitor 230 and the smoothing capacitor 232 can be easily maintained in the substantially same state. Therefore, the voltage of the filter capacitor 230 can be more suitably maintained.
- the smoothing capacitor 232 can be discharged until the voltage VL of the filter capacitor 230 and the voltage VH of the smoothing capacitor 232 become the same. Therefore, converter 200 is controlled to discharge filter capacitor 230 and smoothing capacitor 232 regardless of whether SMR 260 is closed or open. That is, even if SMR 260 is closed, converter 200 is controlled to discharge filter capacitor 230 and smoothing capacitor 232. Therefore, at least the voltage of the smoothing capacitor 232 is reduced. Thereafter, when the SMR 260 is opened, in addition to the voltage of the smoothing capacitor 232, the voltage of the filter capacitor 230 is lowered.
- the discharge can be completed as soon as the smoothing capacitor 232 is discharged before the filter capacitor 230 and the battery 150 are disconnected by the SMR 260.
- the speed at which the voltage VL of the filter capacitor 230 and the voltage VH of the smoothing capacitor 232 decrease is lower than the frequency A of the IPM 204.
- the voltage VL of the filter capacitor 230 and the voltage VH of the smoothing capacitor 232 are slower than the rate of decrease. That is, the smaller the frequency at which the IPM 204 operates, the faster the filter capacitor 230 and the smoothing capacitor 232 can be discharged.
- the smaller the frequency at which the IPM 204 operates the greater the current that flows through the IPM 204, that is, the current that flows through the converter 200.
- the current flowing in the converter 200 can be controlled.
- the converter 200 may be controlled so as to reduce the frequency at which the IPM 204 operates, that is, the frequency at which the converter 200 operates.
- the current flowing in converter 200 is monitored using a current sensor, and the frequency at which converter 200 operates is reduced so that the current flowing in converter 200 is as large as possible without exceeding the rated current of converter 200. May be.
- the frequency at which converter 200 operates is reduced so as to increase the current that has decreased due to the voltage drop. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11, the lower the voltage VL of the filter capacitor 230 and the voltage VH of the smoothing capacitor 232, the IPM 232 can operate at a smaller frequency. In other words, the longer the elapsed time from the start of discharge, the more the IPM 232 can operate at a lower frequency. In this way, the time required for discharge can be shortened.
