POWER CONVERSION SYSTEM FOR HIGH-SPEED RAILWAY CARS, AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING POWER CONVERSION SYSTEM FOR HIGH-SPEED RAILWAY CARS

摘要

Each of a plurality of power conversion apparatuses that are lined up along the moving direction of a plurality of railway cars connected with each other is provided with a conversion unit that converts power, a heat radiation unit that radiates heat generated at the conversion unit to passing wind, and a control unit that controls the converted power. The control unit of a first power conversion apparatus increases/decreases the power to be converted at the conversion unit of the first power conversion apparatus, on the basis of information relating to the number of other heat radiation units that are disposed forward of the heat radiation unit of the first power conversion apparatus in the moving direction and radiate heat to passing wind, and/or information relating to the distance to another heat radiation unit that is adjacent thereto and forward of the same in the moving direction.
