Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A power conversion system including a plurality of power conversion devices connected in parallel. Each of the plurality of power conversion devices includes: a power conversion circuit configured to convert DC to AC; and an AC filter circuit connected to an output side of the power conversion circuit. The AC filter circuit is an LC low-pass filter including a first filter reactor and an AC filter capacitor connected in an L shape. The AC filter circuit further includes a second filter reactor connected in series to the AC filter capacitor, and a resistance constructing a series circuit together with the AC filter capacitor and the second filter reactor.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A power conversion system comprising: a plurality of power conversion devices connected in parallel, each of the plurality of power conversion devices including: a power conversion circuit configured to convert DC to AC; and an AC filter circuit connected to an output side of the power conversion circuit, the AC filter circuit being an LC low-pass filter formed of a first filter reactor and a series circuit, a first end of the first filter reactor being connected to the output side of the power conversion circuit, a second end of the first filter reactor being connected to a power system, the series circuit being formed of an AC filter capacitor, a second filter reactor, and a resistance which are connected in series, the LC low-pass filter being constructed by connecting one end of the series circuit to the second end of the first filter reactor, wherein the resistance is a high-power non-inductive resistor, in which a resistor with a plate-shaped portion having electrode portions at both ends thereof, an insulating plate which insulates the resistor and a heat radiation plate are stacked. 2. The power conversion system according to claim 1 , wherein a resonance frequency of an LC series circuit which is formed of the second filter reactor and the AC filter capacitor is equal to a carrier frequency of the power conversion circuit. 3. The power conversion system according to claim 1 , wherein the AC filter circuit has a gain characteristic including a low-frequency portion, a high-frequency portion, and an intermediate portion between the low-frequency portion and the high-frequency portion, and the gain characteristic has a local maximum between the low-frequency portion and the intermediate portion, and has a local minimum between the intermediate portion and the high-frequency portion.
