Abstract
An electric power converter including an electric-power conversion circuit that performs bidirectional conversion of a voltage between a DC power source and a motor and outputs the voltage, a first voltage detector that detects an inter-terminal voltage at the DC power source side of the electric-power conversion unit, a second voltage detector that detects an inter-terminal voltage at the motor side of the electric-power conversion unit, and a controller. The controller includes a first calculator that calculates a main duty, based on a target voltage and the inter-terminal voltage at the motor side, and a second calculator that calculates a sub-duty, based on the main duty, the inter-terminal voltage at the motor side, and the inter-terminal voltage, at the DC power source side, detected by the second voltage detection unit. The controller calculates a duty amount for operating the electric-power conversion unit, based on the main duty and the sub-duty.
