PROPULSION CONTROL APPARATUS OF ENGINE HYBRID RAILROAD VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A propulsion control apparatus of an engine hybrid railroad vehicle comprising:
- a generator driven by an engine;
a power storage device functioning as a direct-current-power supply source configured to be connectable to a direct-current common section;
first and second power converters each of which is configured to be connectable to the direct-current common section, when direct-current power from the direct-current common section is input from a first input/output end side, operates as a DC/AC converter to output desired alternating-current power from a second input/output end side different from the first input/output end, and, when alternating-current power is input from the second input/output end side, operates as an AC/DC converter to output desired direct-current power from the first input/output end side;
a plurality of motors divided into a first motor configured to be drivable by both of the first and second power converters and a second motor configured to be drivable only by the first power converter;
a group of switches that switches an electric connection destination of the generator from the second input/output end side of the second power converter to the second input/output end side of the first power converter or switches an electric connection destination of the first motor from the second input/output end side of the first power converter to the second input/output end side of the second power converter; and
a control unit that controls operations of the first power converter, the second power converter, and the group of switches according to operation forms of the first and second power converters.

Abstract
A first power converter connected to a plurality of motors is configured to operate as a DC/AC converter or an AC/DC converter. A second power converter connected to a generator is configured to operate as a DC/AC converter or the AC/DC converter. A control device is configured to cause the first power converter to supply alternating-current power from the first power converter to at least one motor among the motors and cause the second power converter to supply alternating-current power from the second power converter to a motor other than the motor to which the alternating-current power from the first power converter is supplied.
