TLDR
In this article, a converter for electrical power recovery for supplying power to a load includes an in-house power generation device that supplies power in cooperation with input terminal power at a power input terminal.Abstract:
This converter for electrical power recovery ( 1 ) for supplying power to a load ( 6 ) includes an in-house power generation device ( 5 ) for supplying power in cooperation with input terminal power at a power input terminal ( 2 ). Moreover, it includes a thermal storage unit ( 12 ) which, when surplus power is generated in a state in which a target value for input terminal power is set to zero, thermally stores this power. Furthermore, a control unit ( 9 ) is included which, when surplus power is generated, decides whether or not breakage of a wire of a CT ( 7 ) has occurred by raising the target value for the input terminal power from zero to a predetermined value, and by deciding whether or not the power input terminal current is somewhat elevated from zero.read more
