<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accurately estimate a reactor temperature in consideration of thermal interference between a core and a coil constituting the reactor. <P>SOLUTION: A control device 100 estimates a temperature of a reactor included in a converter which converts a voltage inputted from a power storage device to output. The control device comprises a first estimation unit 110, a second estimation unit 120, and a third estimation unit 130. The first estimation unit uses current Ib flowing in the power storage device as a parameter, and separately estimates a coil temperature variation amount ΔTi1 caused by heat generation and heat radiation of a coil, and a core temperature variation amount ΔTr1 caused by heat generation and heat radiation of a core. The second estimation unit uses an estimation result of the first estimation unit, and separately estimates a core temperature variation amount ΔTr2 and a coil temperature variation amount ΔTi2 caused by thermal interference between the coil and the core. The third estimation unit uses the estimation result of the first estimation unit and an estimation result of the second estimation unit, and separately estimates a coil temperature Ti and a core temperature Tr. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
