<p>In a conventional electrical power conversion apparatus, a control microprocessor performs a control for eliminating or curbing a beat phenomenon, so that a control delay occurs because computing time is required in the control microprocessor. Because of the control delay, it is not possible to obtain an effect of sufficiently reducing a current ripple and torque pulsation. In addition, in an electric train in which a frequency of an AC power source is changed over while the train is running, it is required for a method of detecting a ripple component by a band-pass filter that a plurality of band-pass filters are provided and then the changeover is performed depending on the power source frequency, resulting in difficulties to take countermeasures. An electrical power conversion apparatus according to the present invention stores DC voltage values at predetermined sampling time-points going back from the latest, and predicts a DC voltage estimate value for a predetermined elapse time from the latest sampling time-point using the stored DC voltage values, whereby using the predicted DC voltage estimate value, an amplitude and/or a frequency of AC power that an inverter outputs is controlled so as to curb variation of the AC power that the inverter outputs, due to a ripple caused on the DC side of the inverter.</p> |
