20090085405POWER CONVERSION DEVICE - A power conversion device including sub-inverters, each connected in series with respective phase of a three-phase main inverter including a smoothing capacitor, which is fed from a power supply via a converter, as a DC input thereof, and feeds power to a load using the sum of outputs of the inverters.

The manipulative quantity is added to an output voltage command for the three-phase main inverter, and is subtracted from an output voltage command for the sub-inverters. Thus, power is shifted from the three-phase main inverter to the smoothing capacitors of the sub-inverters.04-02-2009
