Abstract

In a power conversion system, when a frequency of a ripple current, flowing into a power supply line of a direct current power source, is equal to a resonance frequency of an LC filter, a resonance is efficiently restricted. In the LC filter connected between the direct current power source and an inverter circuit, an N channel MOSFET is arranged between a capacitor and ground. When a BPF detects an occurrence of the resonance in the LC filter, an inverting amplifier operates the N channel MOSFET and changes a series resistance value of a current path on which the capacitor is arranged.

an LC filter that is connected between the direct current power source and the second power conversion circuit;
a resonance detection unit that is arranged at an input side of the LC filter and detects an occurrence of a resonance in the LC filter;
a control switching element that is connected in series with a capacitor of the LC filter; and
a resistance value change unit that changes a series resistance value of a current path, on which the capacitor is arranged, by operating the control switching element when the resonance detection unit detects the occurrence of the resonance.

5. The power conversion system according to claim 1 , wherein:
the resistance value change unit includes a resistor element connected in parallel with the control switching element;
the resistance value change unit turns on the control switching element when the resonance detection unit does not detect the resonance; and
the resistance value change unit turns off the control switching element when the level of the resonance, detected by the resonance detection unit, exceeds a threshold level.

6. The power conversion system according to claim 1 , wherein:
the resistance value change unit includes a resistor element connected in parallel with the control switching element;
