Abstract

A power conversion device includes a power conversion unit that converts power into AC power having a predetermined frequency and voltage through a switching operation of a plurality of switching elements, a DC unit including a capacitor and a reactor, and a controller that controls the switching operation. The capacitor smooths a ripple caused by the switching operation in the power conversion unit. The controller monitors an indicator value correlated with a disturbance that distorts an input current supplied to the power conversion unit, and compensates a manipulated variable of control of the switching operation in the power conversion unit in accordance with at least a frequency component closest to a resonant frequency of the DC unit among a plurality of frequency components. The frequency components are included in variations in the indicator value and correspond to integral multiples of a power source frequency of an AC power source.
