Abstract

In an apparatus for controlling a DC-AC converter including a reactor and a plurality of drive switches and configured to convert DC power supplied via input terminals into AC power and supply the AC power to an AC power source connected to output terminals. In the apparatus, a current corrector is configured to set a current correction value including a harmonic component for a frequency component of a supply voltage of the AC power source that has minima at zero crossings where the supply voltage is zero and superimpose the current correction value on a sinusoidal commanded current generated based on the supply voltage of the AC power source, thereby generating a commanded current after correction. A current controller is configured to operate the drive switches using peak current mode control to control the reactor current to the commanded current after correction.
