Abstract

An inverter (10) includes a multilevel circuit having a plurality of switching elements (Q1 to Q4), converts first to third DC voltages supplied from a DC positive bus (L1), a DC neutral point bus (L2), and a DC negative bus (L3) into AC voltages, and supplies the AC voltages to a load. A control device superimposes, on a sinusoidal voltage command value, a third harmonic of the voltage command value to generate a reference AC voltage. The control device compares the reference AC voltage with a carrier signal having a peak-peak value corresponding to the DC voltage between the DC positive bus and the DC negative bus and generates a gate signal for turning on and off the plurality of switching elements (Q1-Q4). The control device detects the load factor of the power conversion device from the detection value of output current by a current detector (11). In a first case where the load factor is larger than a predetermined threshold value, the control device increases the amount of superimposition of the third harmonic wave with respect to the voltage command value as compared with a second case where the load factor is equal to or less than the threshold value.

Abstract

An adder according to the present invention sets a voltage upper limit value (VU) by adding a first voltage to a sinusoidal reference voltage (VREF) for which the frequency and phase thereof match those of an AC voltage (VI). If an instantaneous value of the AC voltage (VI) exceeds the voltage upper limit value (VU), a first integrator integrates over time a first deviation (VI-VU) of the instantaneous value of the AC voltage with respect to the voltage upper limit value. A voltage rise detection circuit detects a voltage rise of the AC voltage (VI) if a first integral value obtained by the first integrator exceeds a first threshold value. A subtractor sets a voltage lower limit value (VL) by subtracting a second voltage from the reference voltage (VREF). If the instantaneous value of the AC voltage (VI) is lower than the voltage lower limit value (VL), a second integrator integrates over time a second deviation (VI-VL) of the instantaneous value of the AC voltage with respect to the voltage lower limit value. A voltage drop detection circuit detects a voltage drop of the AC voltage (VI) if a second integral value obtained by the second integrator exceeds a second threshold value.

Abstract

In the present invention, at a transition time point at which a transition has occurred from rolling to an idling state, a rolling/idling prediction unit predicts the time it will take for a next material to be rolled to reach a roller. A cooling water quantity monitor unit acquires a quantity of cooling water being supplied to a nozzle at the transition time point. A roller thermal expansion prediction unit sets the time predicted by the rolling/idling prediction unit as a prediction period and predicts thermal expansion of the roller for the prediction period and at the transition time point. A cooling water quantity reduction computation unit, while coordinating with the roller thermal expansion prediction unit, computes a cooling water quantity which is to be reduced within the prediction period so that the difference between the thermal expansion at the transition time point and the thermal expansion for the prediction period is kept within a prescribed range. A variable flow rate valve adjustment unit adjusts the aperture of a variable flow rate valve so that the cooling water quantity is reduced only by the quantity computed by the cooling water quantity reduction computation unit.
