1. A control device for a power conversion system with a plurality of power converters, each of which is provided with a DC power source, a DC reactor and a unit converter composed of self-turn-off switching devices with DC terminals connected to said DC power source through said DC reactor, in which AC terminals of said plurality of unit converters are connected in common and is connected to an AC load, said control device comprising:

  • first means for generating an instruction value vector for an AC output current of said power conversion system;

    second means for generating a set of actual value vectors showing all of said AC output currents that can be generated by said power conversion system;

    third means for selecting a closest actual value vector that is closest to said instruction value vector out of said set of said actual value vectors; and

    fourth means for controlling said self-turn-off switching devices in said plurality of said unit converters in response to said closest actual value vector;

    whereby said AC output current of said power conversion system being controlled so as to track said instruction value vector.
