A power supply control device according to one or more embodiments may be provided to: control a power conversion device that has a configuration in which a resonant circuit is provided on an output side of a matrix converter including switching circuits having snubber elements, and that performs AC-AC conversion of output from a multi-phase AC power supply. The power supply control device performs control such that: the output current, which has a phase difference caused by the resonant circuit, is negative during a period in which an absolute value of a positive-going output voltage that is output from the power conversion device increases while the output current is positive during a period in which the absolute value of a negative-going output voltage increases; and a polarity of the output current does not change within a period in which the snubber element is discharged.

Power supply control device, power conversion system, and power supply control method

A power supply control device according to one or more embodiments may be provided, in which a power conversion device has a configuration in which a resonant circuit is provided on an output side of a matrix converter using switching circuits including snubber elements so as to perform AC-AC conversion of output from a multi-phase AC power supply. The power conversion device is controlled to make an amplitude of an output current, a phase of the output current and an instantaneous reactive power as close to a control target as possible. The amplitude and the phase of the output current and the instantaneous reactive power are derived based on: an input voltage and a phase of a multi-phase current input to the power conversion device; and characteristics of the resonant circuit.
