Abstract
An electric power control method includes determining whether to change an operation period within which the operating is performed so as to be longer than one cycle of the carrier wave or not; reducing the switching operation of the switching elements in a first half cycle of the carrier wave; changing a slope of the carrier wave in an intermediate period between the first half cycle of the carrier wave and a last half cycle of the carrier wave in the operation period after the change to compare the carrier wave with the duty command value in magnitude; performing the switching operation of the switching elements according to a result of the comparison; and reducing the switching operation of the switching elements in the last half cycle of the carrier wave.
