Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In a system for driving an electric motor by an engine generator, there is a possibility that oscillation and d-axis current are increased. In an engine generator system, a power converter ( 105 ) controls a generator ( 104 ) so that the phase of an oscillating component included in the d-axis current in the rotor magnetic flux direction of the generator ( 104 ) advances by 90 degrees or more with respect to the phase of an oscillating component of the identical frequency included in the rotating electric angular frequency of the generator ( 104 ), and further using q-axis voltage adjusting device ( 118 ) so that the phase of an oscillating component included in the q-axis current advances by 90 degrees or more with respect to the phase of an oscillating component of the identical frequency included in the rotating electric angular frequency of the generator ( 104 ).
