Abstract
There is provided an electric-power conversion system controller in which even when the temperatures of a switching device and a diode included in the driving circuit for a converter become high, the performances of the devices are prevented from being deteriorated and the lifetimes thereof are prevented from being shortened. In the case where even when determining that direct-coupling control is to be performed, a positive-polarity-side device temperature is higher than a determination temperature, the electric-power conversion system controller performs voltage-boosting control in which the positive-polarity-side switching device and the negative-polarity-side switching device are on/off-controlled in an on/off period; in the case where the positive-polarity-side device temperature is the same as or lower than the determination temperature, the electric-power conversion system controller performs direct-coupling control in which the positive-polarity-side switching device is turned on and the negative-polarity-side switching device is turned off.
