Abstract

A higher control unit 1 generates a command current i* based on a command value. A model predictive control unit 2 sets a plurality of assumed voltage vectors for each switching cycle of an output voltage, divides the switching cycle of the output voltage into two periods according to a ratio between a dead time and the switching cycle of the output voltage, calculates a predicted current of the assumed voltage vector for each of the two periods obtained by the two-dividing, determines an evaluation function between the assumed voltage vector and the predicted current, sets the assumed voltage vector which has highest evaluation function result, as a command voltage vector. A gate signal g for outputting a voltage expressed by the command voltage vector from the power converter is output. The power converter is driven and controlled based on the gate signal.
