　［全体構成］
　図１は、第１の実施形態における直流給電システムを模式的に示す図である。図示のように、直流給電システムは、例えば、車両Ｍに搭載された電源装置１０（「外部装置」の一例）に接続される。車両Ｍは、ガソリンエンジンなどの内燃機関を動力源としたエンジン車両であってもよいし、ハイブリッド自動車であってもよいし、電気自動車であってもよいし、燃料電池車であってもよい。 <First Embodiment>
[overall structure]
FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically illustrating a DC power supply system according to the first embodiment. As illustrated, the DC power supply system is connected to a power supply device 10 (an example of an “external device”) mounted on the vehicle M, for example. The vehicle M may be an engine vehicle that uses an internal combustion engine such as a gasoline engine as a power source, a hybrid vehicle, an electric vehicle, or a fuel cell vehicle. .
　電源装置１０は、主電源と、主電源から電力供給を受ける補助電源とを含む。車両Ｍに搭載された構成としては、主電源は、エンジンおよびオルタネータ、車両の運動エネルギーを用いて発電するモータ、ＡＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ、ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ、ハイブリッド用二次電池、電気自動車の走行用二次電池のいずれか又は組み合わせであり、補助電源は、車載負荷（後述するように、いわゆる補機であり、エンジンを搭載する車両であればエンジンのスタータモータを含んでよい）を駆動するための二次電池である。詳しくは、後述する。 The power supply device 10 includes a main power supply and an auxiliary power supply that receives power supply from the main power supply. As a configuration mounted on the vehicle M, the main power source is an engine and an alternator, a motor that generates electric power using kinetic energy of the vehicle, an AC-DC converter, a DC-DC converter, a secondary battery for a hybrid, an electric vehicle for traveling Either or a combination of secondary batteries, and the auxiliary power source drives an on-vehicle load (as will be described later, a so-called auxiliary machine, which may include an engine starter motor if the vehicle is equipped with an engine). Secondary battery. Details will be described later.
　直流給電システムは、例えば、第１の筐体１００Ａに収容された電源側電力変換装置１００と、第２の筐体２００Ａに収容された負荷側電力変換装置２００とを備える。負荷側電力変換装置２００には、負荷Ｌが接続される。電源装置１０と電源側電力変換装置１００は、入力ケーブルＣＡａを介して互いに接続される。また、電源側電力変換装置１００と負荷側電力変換装置２００は、中間ケーブルＣＡｂを介して互いに接続される。入力ケーブルＣＡａおよび中間ケーブルＣＡｂは、電源側電力変換装置１００や負荷側電力変換装置２００に対して着脱可能なものであってもよいし、固定的に接続されたものであってもよい。入力ケーブルＣＡａは、「第１ケーブル」の一例であり、中間ケーブルＣＡｂは、「第２ケーブル」の一例である。 The direct current power supply system includes, for example, a power supply side power conversion device 100 accommodated in the first casing 100A and a load side power conversion device 200 accommodated in the second casing 200A. A load L is connected to the load-side power conversion device 200. The power supply device 10 and the power supply side power conversion device 100 are connected to each other via an input cable CAa. Moreover, the power supply side power converter device 100 and the load side power converter device 200 are mutually connected via the intermediate | middle cable CAb. The input cable CAa and the intermediate cable CAb may be detachable from the power supply side power conversion device 100 and the load side power conversion device 200, or may be fixedly connected. The input cable CAa is an example of a “first cable”, and the intermediate cable CAb is an example of a “second cable”.
　例えば、電源側電力変換装置１００は、車両Ｍの近傍に載置されて使用され、負荷側電力変換装置２００は、負荷Ｌの近傍に載置されて使用される。図１では便宜上、電源側電力変換装置１００が車両Ｍの外部に載置されているように示しているが、電源側電力変換装置１００は、車両Ｍの車室内に置かれて使用されてもよい。この場合、入力ケーブルＣＡａの一方の端部は、ボンネットが完全に閉まっておらずロックされていない、いわゆる半開き状態のボンネットの隙間からエンジンルーム内部に挿入されて、電源装置１０と接続される。入力ケーブルＣＡａの他方の端部は、車両Ｍの窓から車室内に導入され、車室内に置かれた電源側電力変換装置１００と接続される。また、中間ケーブルＣＡｂも同様に、車両Ｍの窓から車室外に導出され、負荷側電力変換装置２００と接続される。電源側電力変換装置１００および負荷側電力変換装置２００は、中間ケーブルＣＡｂを介して接続されるため、例えば、互いに十数［ｍ］～数百［ｍ］離れた状態で使用することができる。 For example, the power-side power conversion device 100 is placed and used near the vehicle M, and the load-side power conversion device 200 is placed and used near the load L. In FIG. 1, for the sake of convenience, the power supply side power conversion device 100 is shown as being placed outside the vehicle M, but the power supply side power conversion device 100 may be used by being placed in the vehicle interior of the vehicle M. Good. In this case, one end of the input cable CAa is inserted into the engine room through a gap of a so-called half-open bonnet where the bonnet is not completely closed and locked, and is connected to the power supply device 10. The other end of the input cable CAa is introduced into the vehicle interior from the window of the vehicle M, and is connected to the power supply side power converter 100 placed in the vehicle interior. Similarly, the intermediate cable CAb is led out of the passenger compartment from the window of the vehicle M and connected to the load-side power converter 200. Since the power-side power conversion device 100 and the load-side power conversion device 200 are connected via the intermediate cable CAb, they can be used, for example, in a state where they are separated from each other by several tens [m] to several hundred [m].
　電源側電力変換装置１００は、電源装置１０から入力ケーブルＣＡａを介して供給される直流電力を昇圧して、負荷側電力変換装置２００に出力する。また、電源側電力変換装置１００は、第１の筐体１００Ａに設けられたスイッチＳＷのオン・オフに応じて、作動状態または停止状態のいずれかの状態となる。スイッチＳＷは、例えば、利用者によってオンまたはオフに操作される。 The power supply side power conversion device 100 boosts DC power supplied from the power supply device 10 via the input cable CAa and outputs the boosted DC power to the load side power conversion device 200. In addition, the power-side power conversion device 100 is in either an operating state or a stopped state depending on whether the switch SW provided in the first housing 100A is on or off. The switch SW is turned on or off by the user, for example.
　負荷側電力変換装置２００は、電源側電力変換装置１００により出力される電力を降圧して、負荷Ｌに供給する。 The load side power conversion device 200 steps down the power output from the power source side power conversion device 100 and supplies it to the load L.
　負荷Ｌは、照明機器、ラジオ、家電機器、スマートフォンや携帯電話などの任意の電子機器または電動機器であり、直流電力によって動作する。 The load L is any electronic device or electric device such as a lighting device, radio, home appliance, smart phone or mobile phone, and operates with DC power.
　［電源装置］
　図２は、電源装置１０を搭載する車両Ｍの構成の一例を示す図である。図示の例では、車両Ｍは、専ら内燃機関を動力源としたエンジン車両であるものとしている。車両Ｍは、例えば、電源装置１０と、車載負荷２０とを備える。電源装置１０は、例えば、エンジン１１と、オルタネータ１２と、二次電池１４と、車載ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１６とを備える。 [Power supply]
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of the vehicle M on which the power supply device 10 is mounted. In the illustrated example, the vehicle M is assumed to be an engine vehicle exclusively using an internal combustion engine as a power source. The vehicle M includes, for example, a power supply device 10 and an in-vehicle load 20. The power supply device 10 includes, for example, an engine 11, an alternator 12, a secondary battery 14, and an in-vehicle DC-DC converter 16.
　例えば、オルタネータ１２は、シャフトＳＦおよび図示しないベルトによってエンジン１１と連結されており、エンジン１１の回転力を利用して交流電力を発電し、整流器によって直流電力に変換する。 For example, the alternator 12 is connected to the engine 11 by a shaft SF and a belt (not shown), generates AC power using the rotational force of the engine 11, and converts it into DC power by a rectifier.
　車載ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１６は、オルタネータ１２により出力された直流電力（ＤＣ）を降圧して、二次電池１４や車載負荷２０に出力する。車載ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１６により変換された直流電力は、例えば、１３．５～１４．０［Ｖ］程度の電圧を有しており、オルタネータ１２の種類や使用環境に応じて数［Ｖ］程度変動する場合があり、１１［Ｖ］程度となる場合がある。 The in-vehicle DC-DC converter 16 steps down the direct-current power (DC) output by the alternator 12 and outputs it to the secondary battery 14 or the in-vehicle load 20. The DC power converted by the in-vehicle DC-DC converter 16 has a voltage of about 13.5 to 14.0 [V], for example, and about several [V] depending on the type of the alternator 12 and the usage environment. It may vary, and may be about 11 [V].
　二次電池１４は、例えば、鉛蓄電池である。二次電池１４の基準電力の電圧（基準電圧）は、車載規格に適合したものであり、例えば、１２［Ｖ］や２４［Ｖ］程度である。二次電池１４の基準電圧は、例えば、定格電圧、公称電圧などと称される電圧である。二次電池１４は、車載ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１６により出力された直流電力を蓄電（充電）したり、蓄電した電力を放電したりする。 The secondary battery 14 is, for example, a lead storage battery. The voltage (reference voltage) of the reference power of the secondary battery 14 conforms to the in-vehicle standard and is, for example, about 12 [V] or 24 [V]. The reference voltage of the secondary battery 14 is a voltage called a rated voltage, a nominal voltage, etc., for example. The secondary battery 14 stores (charges) the DC power output by the in-vehicle DC-DC converter 16 or discharges the stored power.
　車載負荷２０は、例えば、エアコン、照明灯、車両室内の各種表示装置、オーディオなどである。車載負荷２０は、エンジン１１を始動させるスタータモータを含んでもよい。車載負荷２０は、車載ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１６により出力された直流電力や、二次電池１４により放電された直流電力を利用して動作する。 The in-vehicle load 20 is, for example, an air conditioner, an illuminating lamp, various display devices in the vehicle interior, audio, or the like. The on-vehicle load 20 may include a starter motor that starts the engine 11. The in-vehicle load 20 operates using direct-current power output from the in-vehicle DC-DC converter 16 or direct-current power discharged from the secondary battery 14.
　図示のように、入力ケーブルＣＡａは、車載ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１６と二次電池１４との双方に接続された箇所（例えば、二次電池１４の端子）に、クリップ（不図示）等を介して接続される。従って、電源側電力変換装置１００には、二次電池１４により放電された直流電力や、車載ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１６により出力された直流電力が、入力ケーブルＣＡａを介して供給され得る。 As shown in the figure, the input cable CAa is connected to both the in-vehicle DC-DC converter 16 and the secondary battery 14 (for example, a terminal of the secondary battery 14) via a clip (not shown) or the like. Connected. Therefore, the DC power discharged from the secondary battery 14 and the DC power output from the in-vehicle DC-DC converter 16 can be supplied to the power supply side power converter 100 via the input cable CAa.
　図３は、電源装置１０を搭載する車両Ｍの構成の他の例を示す図である。図示の例では、車両Ｍは、ハイブリッド自動車であるものとしている。ハイブリッド自動車である車両Ｍに搭載される電源装置１０は、例えば、エンジン１１と、車載ＡＤ‐ＤＣコンバータ１３と、二次電池１４と、駆動モータ１５と、車載ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１６と、ハイブリッド用二次電池１７とを備える。 FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating another example of the configuration of the vehicle M on which the power supply device 10 is mounted. In the illustrated example, the vehicle M is assumed to be a hybrid vehicle. The power supply device 10 mounted on the vehicle M, which is a hybrid vehicle, includes, for example, an engine 11, an on-vehicle AD-DC converter 13, a secondary battery 14, a drive motor 15, an on-vehicle DC-DC converter 16, and a hybrid device. A secondary battery 17.
　駆動モータ１５は、シャフトＳＦによってエンジン１１と連結されており、車両Ｍが減速する際に減少する運動エネルギーを用いて発電し、発電した交流電力を車載ＡＤ‐ＤＣコンバータ１３に出力する。また、駆動モータ１５は、車載ＡＤ‐ＤＣコンバータ１３により出力された電力を利用して回転することで、エンジン１１をアシストする。なお、このような仕組みに変えて、発電用モータと駆動用（或いは回生用）モータとを別々に備える仕組みであってもよい。 The drive motor 15 is connected to the engine 11 by a shaft SF, generates electric power using kinetic energy that decreases when the vehicle M decelerates, and outputs the generated AC power to the in-vehicle AD-DC converter 13. Further, the drive motor 15 assists the engine 11 by rotating using the electric power output by the in-vehicle AD-DC converter 13. Instead of such a mechanism, a mechanism in which a power generation motor and a drive (or regeneration) motor are separately provided may be used.
　車載ＡＤ‐ＤＣコンバータ１３は、駆動モータ１５により発電された交流電力（ＡＣ）を直流電力（ＤＣ）に変換すると共に降圧して、車載ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１６やハイブリッド用二次電池１７に出力する。また、車載ＡＤ‐ＤＣコンバータ１３は、ハイブリッド用二次電池１７により放電された直流電力を交流電力に変換すると共に昇圧して、図示しないインバータなどを介して駆動モータ１５に出力する。 The in-vehicle AD-DC converter 13 converts AC power (AC) generated by the drive motor 15 into direct-current power (DC) and steps down the voltage to output to the in-vehicle DC-DC converter 16 and the hybrid secondary battery 17. . The in-vehicle AD-DC converter 13 converts the DC power discharged by the hybrid secondary battery 17 into AC power, boosts it, and outputs it to the drive motor 15 via an inverter (not shown).
　車載ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１６は、車載ＡＤ‐ＤＣコンバータ１３またはハイブリッド用二次電池１７により出力された直流電力を降圧して、二次電池１４や車載負荷２０に出力する。 The in-vehicle DC-DC converter 16 steps down the direct-current power output from the in-vehicle AD-DC converter 13 or the hybrid secondary battery 17 and outputs it to the secondary battery 14 or the in-vehicle load 20.
　ハイブリッド用二次電池１７は、例えば、リチウムイオン電池、ニッケル水素電池、レドックス・フロー電池などであり、二次電池１４の出力電圧に比して高い出力電圧を有すると共に、二次電池１４の容量に比して数倍から数十倍程度大きい容量を有する。 The hybrid secondary battery 17 is, for example, a lithium ion battery, a nickel metal hydride battery, or a redox flow battery, and has a higher output voltage than the output voltage of the secondary battery 14 and the capacity of the secondary battery 14. It has a capacity several times to several tens of times larger than that.
　［電源側電力変換装置］
　図４は、第１の筐体１００Ａに収容された電源側電力変換装置１００の構成の一例を示す図である。図示のように、第１の筐体１００Ａには、電源側入力端子ＩＬａと、電源側出力端子ＯＬａと、スイッチＳＷとが設けられており、第１の筐体１００Ａの外部から、電源側入力端子ＩＬａに入力ケーブルＣＡａが接続されると共に、電源側出力端子ＯＬａに中間ケーブルＣＡｂが接続される。電源側入力端子ＩＬａは、「第１入力端子」の一例である。 [Power-side power converter]

　電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０は、電源側入力端子ＩＬａを介して供給された直流電力を昇圧して、電源側出力端子ＯＬａの側に出力する。例えば、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０は、電源側入力端子ＩＬａと接続される入力端子を介して供給される直流電力に対して、所望のデューティ比でスイッチング素子をスイッチングすることによって、昇圧を行う。例えば、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０は、直流電力を６０［Ｖ］程度に昇圧する。 The power supply side DC-DC converter 110 boosts the DC power supplied via the power supply side input terminal ILa and outputs it to the power supply side output terminal OLa side. For example, the power supply side DC-DC converter 110 boosts the DC power supplied via the input terminal connected to the power supply side input terminal ILa by switching the switching element with a desired duty ratio. . For example, the power supply side DC-DC converter 110 boosts the DC power to about 60 [V].
　入力側電圧検出部１０１および入力側電流検出部１０２は、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０の入力側に設けられる。入力側電圧検出部１０１は、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０の入力端子の正極と負極の間の電圧（入力電圧Ｖｉｎ）を検出する。入力側電流検出部１０２は、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０の入力端子の正極に流れる電流（入力電流Ｉｉｎ）を検出する。 The input side voltage detection unit 101 and the input side current detection unit 102 are provided on the input side of the power source side DC-DC converter 110. The input side voltage detection unit 101 detects a voltage (input voltage Vin) between the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the input terminal of the power supply side DC-DC converter 110. The input-side current detection unit 102 detects a current (input current Iin) that flows through the positive electrode of the input terminal of the power supply-side DC-DC converter 110.
　出力側電流検出部１０３、出力側電圧検出部１０４およびダイオード１０５は、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０の出力側に設けられる。出力側電流検出部１０３は、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０の出力端子の正極に流れる電流（出力電流Ｉｏｕｔ）を検出する。出力側電圧検出部１０４は、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０の出力端子の正極と負極の間の電圧（出力電圧Ｖｏｕｔ）を検出する。入力側および出力側のこれらの検出部は、検出値を示す検出信号を電源側コントローラ１３０に出力する。ダイオード１０５は、電源側出力端子ＯＬａから電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０の出力端子に電流が流れるのを阻止する。 The output side current detection unit 103, the output side voltage detection unit 104, and the diode 105 are provided on the output side of the power source side DC-DC converter 110. The output-side current detection unit 103 detects a current (output current Iout) that flows through the positive electrode of the output terminal of the power supply-side DC-DC converter 110. The output side voltage detection unit 104 detects a voltage (output voltage Vout) between the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the output terminal of the power supply side DC-DC converter 110. These detection units on the input side and output side output a detection signal indicating the detection value to the power supply controller 130. The diode 105 prevents a current from flowing from the power supply side output terminal OLa to the output terminal of the power supply side DC-DC converter 110.
　ＣＴＬ用ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１２０は、電源側入力端子ＩＬａを介して出力される直流電力を、電源側コントローラ１３０が利用可能な電力に変換して電源側コントローラ１３０に出力する。 The CTL DC-DC converter 120 converts DC power output via the power supply side input terminal ILa into power usable by the power supply controller 130 and outputs the power to the power supply controller 130.
　電源側コントローラ１３０は、例えばＣＰＵ（Central Processing Unit）等のプロセッサがプログラムメモリ（不図示）に格納されたプログラムを実行することにより実現される。また、電源側コントローラ１３０の機能の一部または全部は、ＬＳＩ（Large Scale Integration）、ＡＳＩＣ（Application Specific Integrated Circuit）、またはＦＰＧＡ（Field-Programmable Gate Array）等のハードウェアにより実現されてもよいし、ソフトウェアとハードウェアとの協働により実現されてもよい。電源側コントローラ１３０は、ＣＴＬ用ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１２０によって変換された電力が供給されることで動作する。 The power supply side controller 130 is realized by a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) executing a program stored in a program memory (not shown). Further, some or all of the functions of the power supply controller 130 may be realized by hardware such as LSI (Large Scale Integration), ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), or FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array). It may be realized by cooperation of software and hardware. The power supply controller 130 operates by being supplied with power converted by the CTL DC-DC converter 120.
　電源側コントローラ１３０は、各種検出部により出力された検出信号に基づいて、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０を制御する。以下、電源側コントローラ１３０による処理の流れについてフローチャートを用いて説明する。 The power supply side controller 130 controls the power supply side DC-DC converter 110 based on detection signals output by various detection units. Hereinafter, the flow of processing by the power supply controller 130 will be described with reference to flowcharts.
　図５は、第１の実施形態における電源側コントローラ１３０による処理の流れの一例を示すフローチャートである。なお、本フローチャートの処理中にスイッチＳＷがオフに操作された場合、電源側コントローラ１３０は、割込み処理として、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０を停止させてよい。 FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of processing by the power supply side controller 130 in the first embodiment. When the switch SW is turned off during the process of this flowchart, the power supply controller 130 may stop the power supply DC-DC converter 110 as an interrupt process.
　まず、電源側コントローラ１３０は、ＣＴＬ用ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１２０から電力が供給されると、プログラムメモリからプログラムを読み出して処理を開始する（ステップＳ１００）。 First, when power is supplied from the CTL DC-DC converter 120, the power supply controller 130 reads the program from the program memory and starts processing (step S100).
　次に、電源側コントローラ１３０は、入力側電圧検出部１０１により出力された検出信号を参照して、入力電圧Ｖｉｎが第１範囲内であるか否かを判定する（ステップＳ１０２）。第１範囲とは、二次電池１４の基準電圧の一つである１２［Ｖ］を基準とした電圧範囲である。例えば、第１範囲は、１２［Ｖ］を基準とした下限値９［Ｖ］から上限値１４［Ｖ］程度の電圧範囲である。 Next, the power supply side controller 130 refers to the detection signal output by the input side voltage detection unit 101 and determines whether or not the input voltage Vin is within the first range (step S102). The first range is a voltage range based on 12 [V], which is one of the reference voltages of the secondary battery 14. For example, the first range is a voltage range from the lower limit value 9 [V] to the upper limit value 14 [V] with 12 [V] as a reference.
　電源側コントローラ１３０は、入力電圧Ｖｉｎが第１範囲内である場合、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０を制御する際の制御パラメータを、第１パラメータにセットする（ステップＳ１０４）。制御パラメータは、例えば、入力電圧Ｖｉｎに対する下限電圧ＶｉｎＬおよび上限電圧ＶｉｎＨ、入力電流Ｉｉｎに対する上限電流ＩｉｎＨ、昇圧比α、出力電圧Ｖｏｕｔに対する下限電圧ＶｏｕｔＬおよび上限電圧ＶｏｕｔＨ、出力電流Ｉｏｕｔに対する上限電流ＩｏｕｔＨなどを含む。 When the input voltage Vin is within the first range, the power supply controller 130 sets a control parameter for controlling the power supply DC-DC converter 110 as the first parameter (step S104). The control parameters include, for example, a lower limit voltage VinL and an upper limit voltage VinH for the input voltage Vin, an upper limit current IinH for the input current Iin, a boost ratio α, a lower limit voltage VoutL and an upper limit voltage VoutH for the output voltage Vout, an upper limit current IoutH for the output current Iout, and the like. including.
　下限電圧ＶｉｎＬは、例えば、オルタネータ１２などの「主電源」が供給する電圧の最小値付近の値であり、且つ、「補助電源」である二次電池１４の基準電圧よりも若干低い値に設定される。「主電源」が供給する電圧の最小値とは、例えばオルタネータ１２の発電電圧の最小値（例えば１１．０［Ｖ］）である。また、この値は、二次電池１４の基準電圧未満の値でもある。下限電圧ＶｉｎＬは、例えば、「主電源」が供給する電圧の最小値を基準に、プラス側とマイナス側に５％程度の変動幅の範囲内で設定される。例えば、「主電源」が供給する電圧の最小値が１１［Ｖ］である場合、下限電圧ＶｉｎＬは、１０．４５～１１.５５［Ｖ］の範囲内で設定される。なお、当該変動幅は、「主電源」が供給する電圧の最小値のマイナス側のみ、またはプラス側のみであってもよい。 The lower limit voltage VinL is, for example, a value near the minimum value of the voltage supplied by the “main power supply” such as the alternator 12 and set to a value slightly lower than the reference voltage of the secondary battery 14 that is the “auxiliary power supply”. Is done. The minimum value of the voltage supplied from the “main power supply” is, for example, the minimum value of the power generation voltage of the alternator 12 (for example, 11.0 [V]). This value is also a value less than the reference voltage of the secondary battery 14. The lower limit voltage VinL is set, for example, within a fluctuation range of about 5% on the plus side and the minus side with reference to the minimum value of the voltage supplied by the “main power supply”. For example, when the minimum value of the voltage supplied from the “main power supply” is 11 [V], the lower limit voltage VinL is set within the range of 10.45 to 11.55 [V]. The fluctuation range may be only on the minus side or only on the plus side of the minimum value of the voltage supplied by the “main power supply”.
　上限電圧ＶｉｎＨは、例えば、第１範囲の上限電圧よりも若干低い値である。若干低い値とは、例えば、比較対象の値に比して１割程度低い値のことである。例えば、第１範囲の上限電圧を１４［Ｖ］とした場合、上限電圧ＶｉｎＨは、１割程度低い１２［Ｖ］、１３［Ｖ］などに設定される。上限電流ＩｉｎＨは、例えば、二次電池１４が放電可能な最大電流の半分程度の電流値に設定される。 The upper limit voltage VinH is, for example, a value slightly lower than the upper limit voltage in the first range. The slightly lower value is, for example, a value that is about 10% lower than the value to be compared. For example, when the upper limit voltage of the first range is 14 [V], the upper limit voltage VinH is set to 12 [V], 13 [V], etc., which is about 10% lower. The upper limit current IinH is set to, for example, a current value that is about half of the maximum current that can be discharged by the secondary battery 14.
　下限電圧ＶｏｕｔＬ、上限電圧ＶｏｕｔＨおよび上限電流ＩｏｕｔＨは、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０から出力されることが想定される直流電力に基づいて設定される。具体的には、下限電圧ＶｏｕｔＬ、上限電圧ＶｏｕｔＨおよび上限電流ＩｏｕｔＨは、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０における昇圧比αに基づいて設定される。 The lower limit voltage VoutL, the upper limit voltage VoutH, and the upper limit current IoutH are set based on the DC power that is expected to be output from the power source side DC-DC converter 110. Specifically, the lower limit voltage VoutL, the upper limit voltage VoutH, and the upper limit current IoutH are set based on the boost ratio α in the power supply side DC-DC converter 110.
　例えば、電源側コントローラ１３０は、第１パラメータとして、入力電圧Ｖｉｎに対する下限電圧ＶｉｎＬ値を１１［Ｖ］程度、上限電圧ＶｉｎＨ値を１３［Ｖ］程度、入力電流Ｉｉｎに対する上限電流ＩｉｎＨ値を２８［Ａ］程度、昇圧比αを５倍程度に設定する。また、電源側コントローラ１３０は、昇圧比αを５倍程度に設定したことから、第１パラメータとして、更に、出力電圧Ｖｏｕｔに対する上限電圧ＶｏｕｔＨを、想定される入力電圧Ｖｉｎの５倍を超える値（例えば昇圧後の出力電圧Ｖｏｕｔの１割増し程度の値）に設定し、出力電圧Ｖｏｕｔに対する下限電圧ＶｏｕｔＬを、上限電圧ＶｏｕｔＨの数［Ｖ］程度小さい値に設定し、出力電流Ｉｏｕｔに対する上限電流ＩｏｕｔＨを、想定される入力電流Ｉｉｎの１／５倍未満の値に設定する。 For example, the power supply side controller 130 sets the lower limit voltage VinL value for the input voltage Vin to about 11 [V], the upper limit voltage VinH value to about 13 [V], and the upper limit current IinH value to 28 [ A] and the step-up ratio α are set to about 5 times. Further, since the power supply side controller 130 sets the step-up ratio α to about 5 times, the upper limit voltage VoutH with respect to the output voltage Vout is further set as a first parameter to a value exceeding 5 times the assumed input voltage Vin ( For example, the output voltage Vout after boosting is set to a value that is about 10% higher), the lower limit voltage VoutL with respect to the output voltage Vout is set to a value that is about a few [V] lower than the upper limit voltage VoutH, and The input current Iin is set to a value less than 1/5 times.
　一方、電源側コントローラ１３０は、入力電圧Ｖｉｎが第１範囲内でない場合、更に入力電圧Ｖｉｎが第２範囲内であるか否かを判定する（ステップＳ１０６）。第２範囲とは、二次電池１４の基準電圧の一つである２４［Ｖ］を基準とした電圧範囲である。例えば、第２範囲は、２４［Ｖ］を基準とした下限値１８［Ｖ］から上限値３０［Ｖ］程度の電圧範囲である。 On the other hand, if the input voltage Vin is not within the first range, the power supply side controller 130 further determines whether or not the input voltage Vin is within the second range (step S106). The second range is a voltage range based on 24 [V], which is one of the reference voltages of the secondary battery 14. For example, the second range is a voltage range from the lower limit value 18 [V] to the upper limit value 30 [V] with 24 [V] as a reference.
　電源側コントローラ１３０は、入力電圧Ｖｉｎが第２範囲内である場合、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０を制御する際の制御パラメータを、第２パラメータにセットする（ステップＳ１０８）。例えば、電源側コントローラ１３０は、第２パラメータとして、入力電圧Ｖｉｎに対する下限電圧ＶｉｎＬ値を２２［Ｖ］程度、上限電圧ＶｉｎＨ値を２６［Ｖ］程度、入力電流Ｉｉｎに対する上限電流ＩｉｎＨ値を１４［Ａ］程度、昇圧比αを２．５倍程度に設定する。また、電源側コントローラ１３０は、昇圧比αを２．５倍程度に設定したことから、第２パラメータとして、更に、出力電圧Ｖｏｕｔに対する上限電圧ＶｏｕｔＨを、想定される入力電圧Ｖｉｎの２．５倍を超える値に設定し、出力電圧Ｖｏｕｔに対する下限電圧ＶｏｕｔＬを、上限電圧ＶｏｕｔＨの数［Ｖ］程度小さい値に設定し、出力電流Ｉｏｕｔに対する上限電流ＩｏｕｔＨを、想定される入力電流Ｉｉｎの１／２．５倍未満の値に設定する。 When the input voltage Vin is within the second range, the power supply controller 130 sets a control parameter for controlling the power supply DC-DC converter 110 to the second parameter (step S108). For example, as the second parameter, the power supply side controller 130 sets the lower limit voltage VinL value for the input voltage Vin to about 22 [V], the upper limit voltage VinH value to about 26 [V], and the upper limit current IinH value to the input current Iin of 14 [V]. A] and the step-up ratio α are set to about 2.5 times. Further, since the power supply side controller 130 sets the step-up ratio α to about 2.5 times, the upper limit voltage VoutH with respect to the output voltage Vout is further set to 2.5 times the assumed input voltage Vin as the second parameter. The lower limit voltage VoutL with respect to the output voltage Vout is set to a value that is about [V] smaller than the upper limit voltage VoutH, and the upper limit current IoutH with respect to the output current Iout is ½ of the expected input current Iin. Set to a value less than 5 times.
　一方、電源側コントローラ１３０は、入力電圧Ｖｉｎが第２範囲内でない場合、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０を停止させる（ステップＳ１１０）。これによって、本フローチャートの処理が終了する。 On the other hand, when the input voltage Vin is not within the second range, the power supply side controller 130 stops the power supply side DC-DC converter 110 (step S110). Thereby, the process of this flowchart is complete | finished.
　次に、電源側コントローラ１３０は、制御パラメータを参照して、入力電圧Ｖｉｎが下限電圧ＶｉｎＬを超え、且つ上限電圧ＶｉｎＨ未満であるか否かを判定する（ステップＳ１１２）。 Next, the power supply side controller 130 refers to the control parameter and determines whether or not the input voltage Vin exceeds the lower limit voltage VinL and is lower than the upper limit voltage VinH (step S112).
　電源側コントローラ１３０は、入力電圧Ｖｉｎが、下限電圧ＶｉｎＬ以下である場合、または上限電圧ＶｉｎＨ以上である場合、Ｓ１１０の処理に移り、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０を停止させる。このように、電源側コントローラ１３０は、入力電圧Ｖｉｎが、少なくとも下限電圧ＶｉｎＬ以下である場合、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０を停止させる。 When the input voltage Vin is equal to or lower than the lower limit voltage VinL, or when the input voltage Vin is equal to or higher than the upper limit voltage VinH, the power supply side controller 130 proceeds to S110 and stops the power supply side DC-DC converter 110. As described above, the power supply side controller 130 stops the power supply side DC-DC converter 110 when the input voltage Vin is at least equal to or lower than the lower limit voltage VinL.
　ここで、基準電圧は、二次電池１４の満充電のときの電圧に近い値であるため、少し放電することで、放電電力の電圧が下限電圧ＶｉｎＬを下回ることになる。従って、直流給電システムが電源装置１０から電力供給を受け続けても、二次電池１４は、ある程度の充電率を保った状態で維持される。この結果、二次電池１４が過放電の状態（いわゆるバッテリ上がりの状態）となるのを防止することができ、適切な範囲で電源装置１０から電力の供給を受けることができる。 Here, since the reference voltage is a value close to the voltage when the secondary battery 14 is fully charged, the discharge power voltage becomes lower than the lower limit voltage VinL by slightly discharging. Therefore, even if the DC power supply system continues to receive power supply from the power supply device 10, the secondary battery 14 is maintained in a state of maintaining a certain charge rate. As a result, the secondary battery 14 can be prevented from being in an overdischarged state (so-called “battery exhausted state”), and power can be supplied from the power supply device 10 within an appropriate range.
　また、電源装置１０から直流電力が電源側入力端子ＩＬａに出力されている際に、「主電源」の発電電圧にばらつきが生じる場合がある。この場合、下限電圧ＶｉｎＬを、電圧のばらつきを考慮せずに「主電源」の発電電圧の最小値よりも有意に高い電圧（例えば１１．５［Ｖ］程度）に設定した場合、入力電圧Ｖｉｎが下限電圧ＶｉｎＬ以下となって、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０が停止することになり、負荷Ｌへの電力供給が頻繁に停止してしまう場合がある。 Further, when DC power is output from the power supply device 10 to the power supply side input terminal ILa, the generated voltage of the “main power supply” may vary. In this case, when the lower limit voltage VinL is set to a voltage (for example, about 11.5 [V]) that is significantly higher than the minimum value of the power generation voltage of the “main power supply” without considering the variation in voltage, the input voltage Vin Becomes lower than the lower limit voltage VinL, and the power source side DC-DC converter 110 is stopped, and the power supply to the load L may be frequently stopped.
　これに対して、下限電圧ＶｉｎＬを「主電源」の発電電圧の最小値に設定することで、電圧のばらつきを許容して「主電源」から電力供給を受けるため、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０が頻繁に停止されるのを抑制し、負荷Ｌに安定して電力を供給しやすくなる。 On the other hand, by setting the lower limit voltage VinL to the minimum value of the power generation voltage of the “main power supply”, the power supply side DC-DC converter 110 receives power supply from the “main power supply” while allowing variation in voltage. Is suppressed from being stopped frequently, and it is easy to stably supply power to the load L.
　一方、電源側コントローラ１３０は、入力電圧Ｖｉｎが、下限電圧ＶｉｎＬを超え、且つ上限電圧ＶｉｎＨ未満である場合、入力側電流検出部１０２により出力された検出信号と、制御パラメータを参照して、入力電流Ｉｉｎが上限電流ＩｉｎＨを超えるか否かを判定する（ステップＳ１１４）。 On the other hand, when the input voltage Vin exceeds the lower limit voltage VinL and is lower than the upper limit voltage VinH, the power supply side controller 130 refers to the detection signal output by the input side current detection unit 102 and the control parameter, and inputs It is determined whether or not the current Iin exceeds the upper limit current IinH (step S114).
　電源側コントローラ１３０は、入力電流Ｉｉｎが上限電流ＩｉｎＨを超える場合、Ｓ１１０の処理に移り、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０を停止させる。これによって、二次電池１４により瞬間的に大きな電力が放電されるのを抑制することができる。 When the input current Iin exceeds the upper limit current IinH, the power supply side controller 130 proceeds to S110 and stops the power supply side DC-DC converter 110. Thereby, it is possible to suppress a large amount of electric power from being instantaneously discharged by the secondary battery 14.
　一方、電源側コントローラ１３０は、入力電流Ｉｉｎが上限電流ＩｉｎＨを超えない場合、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０を制御して、制御パラメータが示す昇圧比αで直流電力を昇圧させる（ステップＳ１１６）。 On the other hand, when the input current Iin does not exceed the upper limit current IinH, the power supply side controller 130 controls the power supply side DC-DC converter 110 to boost the DC power at the boost ratio α indicated by the control parameter (step S116).
　次に、電源側コントローラ１３０は、出力側電圧検出部１０４により出力された検出信号と、制御パラメータとを参照して、出力電圧Ｖｏｕｔが下限電圧ＶｏｕｔＬを超え、且つ上限電圧ＶｏｕｔＨ未満であるか否かを判定する（ステップＳ１１８）。電源側コントローラ１３０は、出力電圧Ｖｏｕｔが下限電圧ＶｏｕｔＬ以下である場合、または上限電圧ＶｏｕｔＨ以上である場合、Ｓ１１０の処理に移り、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０を停止させる。 Next, the power supply side controller 130 refers to the detection signal output by the output side voltage detection unit 104 and the control parameter, and determines whether or not the output voltage Vout exceeds the lower limit voltage VoutL and is lower than the upper limit voltage VoutH. Is determined (step S118). When the output voltage Vout is equal to or lower than the lower limit voltage VoutL, or when the output voltage Vout is equal to or higher than the upper limit voltage VoutH, the power supply side controller 130 proceeds to S110 and stops the power supply side DC-DC converter 110.
　一方、電源側コントローラ１３０は、出力電圧Ｖｏｕｔが下限電圧ＶｏｕｔＬを超え、且つ上限電圧ＶｏｕｔＨ未満である場合、出力側電流検出部１０３により出力された検出信号と、制御パラメータとを参照して、出力電流Ｉｏｕｔが上限電流ＩｏｕｔＨを超えるか否かを判定する（ステップＳ１２０）。電源側コントローラ１３０は、出力電流Ｉｏｕｔが上限電流ＩｏｕｔＨを超えない場合、Ｓ１１２の処理に移行する。 On the other hand, when the output voltage Vout exceeds the lower limit voltage VoutL and lower than the upper limit voltage VoutH, the power supply side controller 130 refers to the detection signal output by the output side current detection unit 103 and the control parameter to output It is determined whether or not the current Iout exceeds the upper limit current IoutH (step S120). When the output current Iout does not exceed the upper limit current IoutH, the power supply controller 130 proceeds to S112.
　一方、電源側コントローラ１３０は、出力電流Ｉｏｕｔが上限電流ＩｏｕｔＨを超えた場合、Ｓ１１０の処理に移り、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０を停止させる。これによって、例えば、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０の故障などによって異常な直流電力が出力される場合に、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０を停止させることができる。また、電力線が短絡などして、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０の出力側に、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０の出力電圧Ｖｏｕｔよりも高電圧な電力が漏洩した場合、あるいは他の電源が接続された場合に出力電圧Ｖｏｕｔが、下限電圧ＶｏｕｔＬ以下または上限電圧ＶｏｕｔＨ以上となるため、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０を停止させることができる。この結果、直流給電システムの安全性を高めることができる。 On the other hand, when the output current Iout exceeds the upper limit current IoutH, the power supply controller 130 proceeds to S110 and stops the power supply DC-DC converter 110. Thereby, for example, when abnormal DC power is output due to a failure of the power supply side DC-DC converter 110, the power supply side DC-DC converter 110 can be stopped. In addition, when the power line is short-circuited and the like, power higher than the output voltage Vout of the power supply side DC-DC converter 110 leaks to the output side of the power supply side DC-DC converter 110, or another power supply is connected. In this case, since the output voltage Vout becomes equal to or lower than the lower limit voltage VoutL or higher than the upper limit voltage VoutH, the power supply side DC-DC converter 110 can be stopped. As a result, the safety of the DC power supply system can be improved.
　［負荷側電力変換装置］
　図６は、第２の筐体２００Ａに収容された負荷側電力変換装置２００の構成の一例を示す図である。図示のように、第２の筐体２００Ａには、負荷側入力端子ＩＬｂと、複数の負荷側出力端子ＯＬｂとが設けられている。また、負荷側入力端子ＩＬｂには、第２の筐体２００Ａの外部から、不図示の中間ケーブルＣＡｂが接続されると共に、負荷側出力端子ＯＬｂに不図示の負荷Ｌと接続するためのケーブルが接続される。複数の負荷側出力端子ＯＬｂは、例えば、ＵＳＢ（Universal Serial Bus）規格のケーブルが接続可能なＵＳＢ端子であり、出力電圧５［Ｖ］、出力電流１［Ａ］程度に維持される。例えば、負荷側出力端子ＯＬｂは、４０個程度設けられてよい。 [Load-side power converter]
FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of the load-side power conversion device 200 housed in the second housing 200A. As illustrated, the second housing 200A is provided with a load side input terminal ILb and a plurality of load side output terminals OLb. An intermediate cable CAb (not shown) is connected to the load side input terminal ILb from the outside of the second casing 200A, and a cable for connecting to the load L (not shown) is connected to the load side output terminal OLb. Connected. The plurality of load-side output terminals OLb are USB terminals to which, for example, a USB (Universal Serial Bus) standard cable can be connected, and are maintained at an output voltage of about 5 [V] and an output current of about 1 [A]. For example, about 40 load side output terminals OLb may be provided.
　負荷側電力変換装置２００は、例えば、負荷側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ２１０－１、２１０－２を備える。図示の例では、負荷側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータは、２つずつ備えられているが、第２の筐体２００Ａに設ける負荷側出力端子ＯＬｂの数に応じて、１つまたは３つ以上に変更されてもよい。以下、これらの負荷側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータを区別せずに、単に負荷側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ２１０として説明する。負荷側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ２１０は、「第２電力変換部」の一例である。 The load side power converter 200 includes, for example, load side DC-DC converters 210-1 and 210-2. In the illustrated example, two load-side DC-DC converters are provided, but the load-side DC-DC converter is changed to one or three or more according to the number of load-side output terminals OLb provided in the second casing 200A. May be. Hereinafter, these load side DC-DC converters will be described as simply the load side DC-DC converter 210 without distinction. The load side DC-DC converter 210 is an example of a “second power converter”.
　負荷側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ２１０は、負荷側入力端子ＩＬｂを介して供給された直流電力を降圧して、負荷側出力端子ＯＬｂの側に出力する。例えば、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０は、負荷側入力端子ＩＬｂと接続される入力端子を介して供給される直流電力に対して、所望のデューティ比でスイッチング素子をスイッチングすることによって、降圧を行う。例えば、負荷側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ２１０は、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０により昇圧された直流電力の電圧に対応するために、およそ３６［Ｖ］から７２［Ｖ］程度の電圧範囲（以下、第３範囲と称する）内の直流電力を降圧してＵＳＢ規格の５［Ｖ］に変換する。負荷側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ２１０は、降圧した直流電力を、各負荷側出力端子ＯＬｂに出力する。 The load side DC-DC converter 210 steps down the DC power supplied via the load side input terminal ILb and outputs it to the load side output terminal OLb side. For example, the power supply side DC-DC converter 110 performs step-down by switching the switching element with a desired duty ratio with respect to DC power supplied via an input terminal connected to the load side input terminal ILb. . For example, the load side DC-DC converter 210 has a voltage range of about 36 [V] to about 72 [V] (hereinafter referred to as a first voltage) in order to correspond to the voltage of the DC power boosted by the power source side DC-DC converter 110. DC power within the range (referred to as “3 range”) is stepped down and converted to 5 [V] of the USB standard. The load side DC-DC converter 210 outputs the stepped down DC power to each load side output terminal OLb.
　以上説明した第１の実施形態における直流給電システムによれば、オルタネータ１２などの主電源と、主電源から電力供給を受ける補助電源としての二次電池１４と、を含む電源装置１０に入力ケーブルＣＡａを介して接続される電源側入力端子ＩＬａと、電源側入力端子ＩＬａを介して電源装置１０から供給される直流電力の電圧を変換して出力する電源側ＤＣ-ＤＣコンバータ１１０と、電源側ＤＣ-ＤＣコンバータ１１０の入力電圧Ｖｉｎを検出する入力側電圧検出部１０１と、入力電圧Ｖｉｎが下限電圧ＶｉｎＬ以下である場合、電源側ＤＣ-ＤＣコンバータ１１０を停止させる電源側コントローラ１３０を備えるため、適切な範囲で電源装置１０から電力の供給を受けることができる。この結果、電源装置１０がエンジン車両に搭載された場合、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０に対して出力される電力を監視することによって、二次電池１４が過放電の状態となるのを防止することができる。また、電源装置１０がハイブリッド自動車に搭載された場合も同様に、二次電池１４およびハイブリッド用二次電池１７が過放電の状態となるのを防止することができる。 According to the DC power supply system in the first embodiment described above, the input cable CAa is connected to the power supply device 10 including the main power source such as the alternator 12 and the secondary battery 14 as an auxiliary power source that receives power supply from the main power source. A power supply side input terminal ILa connected via the power supply side, a power supply side DC-DC converter 110 that converts and outputs the voltage of the DC power supplied from the power supply device 10 via the power supply side input terminal ILa, and a power supply side DC -The input side voltage detection unit 101 that detects the input voltage Vin of the DC converter 110 and the power source side controller 130 that stops the power source side DC-DC converter 110 when the input voltage Vin is equal to or lower than the lower limit voltage VinL The power can be supplied from the power supply device 10 within such a range. As a result, when the power supply device 10 is mounted on the engine vehicle, the power output to the power supply side DC-DC converter 110 is monitored to prevent the secondary battery 14 from being overdischarged. be able to. Similarly, when the power supply apparatus 10 is mounted on a hybrid vehicle, the secondary battery 14 and the hybrid secondary battery 17 can be prevented from being overdischarged.
　また、上述した第１の実施形態によれば、例えば、災害時に、発電所からの系統電力の供給が停止した場合、直流給電システムを利用することで、車両Ｍに搭載された「主電源」または「補助電源」の電力を一時的に利用して、被災者の身の回りの電子機器などを作動させることができる。 Further, according to the first embodiment described above, for example, when the supply of system power from the power plant is stopped in the event of a disaster, the “main power source” mounted on the vehicle M by using the DC power supply system. Alternatively, the electric power of the “auxiliary power source” can be temporarily used to operate electronic devices around the victim.
　また、上述した第１の実施形態によれば、中間ケーブルＣＡｂによって電源側電力変換装置１００と負荷側電力変換装置２００とを接続するため、車両Ｍから離れた避難所などで電力を使用することができる。 Moreover, according to 1st Embodiment mentioned above, in order to connect the power supply side power converter device 100 and the load side power converter device 200 by the intermediate | middle cable CAb, using electric power in the refuge etc. which were separated from the vehicle M Can do.
　また、上述した第１の実施形態によれば、２段階で電圧変換を行うため、中間ケーブルＣＡｂによる電圧降下の影響を抑制することができる。 In addition, according to the first embodiment described above, since voltage conversion is performed in two stages, the influence of a voltage drop caused by the intermediate cable CAb can be suppressed.
　また、上述した第１の実施形態によれば、「主電源」または「補助電源」により供給される電力を比較的低電圧なＵＳＢ規格の電圧に変換するため、ラジオや携帯電話などの消費電力量の少ない機器を長期間使用することができる。この結果、災害情報などを取得しやすくなり、特に被災者にとっての利便性を向上させることができる。 Further, according to the first embodiment described above, the power supplied from the “main power supply” or “auxiliary power supply” is converted into a USB standard voltage having a relatively low voltage. A small amount of equipment can be used for a long time. As a result, it becomes easy to acquire disaster information and the like, and in particular, convenience for the victim can be improved.
　＜第２の実施形態＞
　以下、第２の実施形態について説明する。第２の実施形態では、第１の筐体１００Ａに、第３入力端子ＩＬａ＃が設けられている点で第１の実施形態と異なる。第３入力端子ＩＬａ＃には、例えば、電源装置１０に含まれる「補助電源」の基準電圧に比して大きい基準電圧を有する他電源がケーブルなどを介して接続される。他電源は、例えば、フォークリフトなどの特殊な車両に搭載された二次電池であり、４８［Ｖ］程度の直流電力を出力する。以下では、係る相違点を中心に説明し、共通する部分についての説明は省略する。 <Second Embodiment>
Hereinafter, the second embodiment will be described. The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that a third input terminal ILa # is provided in the first housing 100A. For example, another power supply having a reference voltage larger than the reference voltage of the “auxiliary power supply” included in the power supply device 10 is connected to the third input terminal ILa # via a cable or the like. The other power source is, for example, a secondary battery mounted on a special vehicle such as a forklift, and outputs DC power of about 48 [V]. Below, it demonstrates centering on the difference and it abbreviate | omits description about a common part.
　図７は、第１の筐体１００Ａに収容された電源側電力変換装置１００の構成の他の例を示す図である。図示のように、第１の筐体１００Ａには、電源側入力端子ＩＬａと、電源側出力端子ＯＬａと、スイッチＳＷと、第３入力端子ＩＬａ＃とが設けられており、第１の筐体１００Ａの外部から、電源側入力端子ＩＬａに入力ケーブルＣＡａが接続されると共に、電源側出力端子ＯＬａに中間ケーブルＣＡｂが接続される。また、第３入力端子ＩＬａ＃は、他電源の二次電池の出力端子と接続されたケーブルと接続される。他電源の二次電池により出力された直流電力は、第３入力端子ＩＬａ＃を介して、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０の出力側に出力される。 FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating another example of the configuration of the power-source-side power conversion device 100 housed in the first casing 100A. As shown in the figure, the first casing 100A is provided with a power supply side input terminal ILa, a power supply side output terminal OLa, a switch SW, and a third input terminal ILa #. From the outside of 100A, an input cable CAa is connected to the power supply side input terminal ILa, and an intermediate cable CAb is connected to the power supply side output terminal OLa. The third input terminal ILa # is connected to a cable connected to the output terminal of the secondary battery of another power source. The DC power output from the secondary battery of the other power source is output to the output side of the power source side DC-DC converter 110 via the third input terminal ILa #.
　以下、第２の実施形態における電源側コントローラ１３０による処理についてフローチャートを用いて説明する。 Hereinafter, processing by the power supply side controller 130 in the second embodiment will be described with reference to flowcharts.
　図８は、第２の実施形態における電源側コントローラ１３０による処理の流れの一例を示すフローチャートである。なお、本フローチャートの処理中にスイッチＳＷがオフに操作された場合、電源側コントローラ１３０は、割込み処理として、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０を停止させてよい。 FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of processing by the power supply side controller 130 in the second embodiment. When the switch SW is turned off during the process of this flowchart, the power supply controller 130 may stop the power supply DC-DC converter 110 as an interrupt process.
　まず、電源側コントローラ１３０は、ＣＴＬ用ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１２０から電力が供給されると、プログラムメモリからプログラムを読み出して処理を開始する（ステップＳ３００）。 First, when power is supplied from the CTL DC-DC converter 120, the power supply side controller 130 reads the program from the program memory and starts processing (step S300).
　次に、電源側コントローラ１３０は、入力側電圧検出部１０１により出力された検出信号を参照して、入力電圧Ｖｉｎが第１範囲内であるか否かを判定する（ステップＳ３０２）。 Next, the power supply side controller 130 refers to the detection signal output by the input side voltage detection unit 101 and determines whether or not the input voltage Vin is within the first range (step S302).
　電源側コントローラ１３０は、入力電圧Ｖｉｎが第１範囲内である場合、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０を制御する際の制御パラメータを、第１パラメータにセットする（ステップＳ３０４）。 When the input voltage Vin is within the first range, the power supply controller 130 sets a control parameter for controlling the power supply DC-DC converter 110 as the first parameter (step S304).
　一方、電源側コントローラ１３０は、入力電圧Ｖｉｎが第１範囲内でない場合、更に入力電圧Ｖｉｎが第２範囲内であるか否かを判定する（ステップＳ３０６）。 On the other hand, when the input voltage Vin is not within the first range, the power supply side controller 130 further determines whether or not the input voltage Vin is within the second range (step S306).
　電源側コントローラ１３０は、入力電圧Ｖｉｎが第２範囲内である場合、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０を制御する際の制御パラメータを、第２パラメータにセットする（ステップＳ３０８）。 When the input voltage Vin is within the second range, the power supply controller 130 sets a control parameter for controlling the power supply DC-DC converter 110 to the second parameter (step S308).
　一方、電源側コントローラ１３０は、入力電圧Ｖｉｎが第２範囲内でない場合、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０を停止させる（ステップＳ３１０）。これによって、本フローチャートの処理が終了する。 On the other hand, when the input voltage Vin is not within the second range, the power supply side controller 130 stops the power supply side DC-DC converter 110 (step S310). Thereby, the process of this flowchart is complete | finished.
　次に、電源側コントローラ１３０は、出力側電流検出部１０３により出力された検出信号を参照して、第３入力端子ＩＬａ＃に他電源が接続されたか否かを判定する（ステップＳ３１２）。例えば、電源側コントローラ１３０は、出力電流Ｉｏｕｔが所定値よりも大きくなった場合、第３入力端子ＩＬａ＃に他電源が接続されたと判定する。所定値は、例えば、所定期間にわたって出力側電流検出部１０３により検出された出力電圧の平均値などである。また、第３入力端子ＩＬａ＃に、ケーブルの嵌め込みを検知するスイッチが設けられている場合、電源側コントローラ１３０は、当該スイッチの状態に基づいて、第３入力端子ＩＬａ＃に他電源が接続されたか否かを判定してもよい。 Next, the power supply controller 130 refers to the detection signal output by the output current detector 103 and determines whether or not another power supply is connected to the third input terminal ILa # (step S312). For example, when the output current Iout becomes larger than a predetermined value, the power supply controller 130 determines that another power supply is connected to the third input terminal ILa #. The predetermined value is, for example, an average value of the output voltage detected by the output-side current detection unit 103 over a predetermined period. In addition, when a switch that detects the insertion of the cable is provided at the third input terminal ILa #, the power supply controller 130 is connected to another power supply to the third input terminal ILa # based on the state of the switch. It may be determined whether or not.
　電源側コントローラ１３０は、第３入力端子ＩＬａ＃に他電源が接続された場合、セットした制御パラメータのうち、昇圧比α、下限電圧ＶｏｕｔＬ、上限電圧ＶｏｕｔＨおよび上限電流ＩｏｕｔＨを変更する（ステップＳ３１４）。例えば、電源側コントローラ１３０は、出力側電圧検出部１０４により出力された検出信号を参照して、他電源である二次電池から出力された直流電力の電圧がいくつであるのかを特定し、特定した電圧に基づいて昇圧比αを変更する。具体的には、電源側コントローラ１３０は、昇圧される出力電圧Ｖｏｕｔが他電源である二次電池の出力電圧４８［Ｖ］よりも小さくなるように、第１パラメータでは３．５倍程度に、第２パラメータでは１．８倍程度に昇圧比αを変更する。また、電源側コントローラ１３０は、昇圧比αの変更に伴って、下限電圧ＶｏｕｔＬ、上限電圧ＶｏｕｔＨおよび上限電流ＩｏｕｔＨも変更する。これによって、第３入力端子ＩＬａ＃に接続された他電源から、電源側電力変換装置１００に対して電流が流入するのを抑制することができる。 When another power source is connected to the third input terminal ILa #, the power supply controller 130 changes the boost ratio α, the lower limit voltage VoutL, the upper limit voltage VoutH, and the upper limit current IoutH among the set control parameters (step S314). . For example, the power supply side controller 130 refers to the detection signal output by the output side voltage detection unit 104, specifies the voltage of the DC power output from the secondary battery that is another power supply, and specifies The step-up ratio α is changed based on the applied voltage. Specifically, the power supply side controller 130 increases the output voltage Vout to be boosted to about 3.5 times in the first parameter so that the output voltage Vout of the secondary battery as the other power supply becomes smaller than 48 [V]. In the second parameter, the step-up ratio α is changed to about 1.8 times. Further, the power supply controller 130 also changes the lower limit voltage VoutL, the upper limit voltage VoutH, and the upper limit current IoutH in accordance with the change of the step-up ratio α. Thereby, it is possible to suppress a current from flowing into the power supply side power conversion device 100 from another power supply connected to the third input terminal ILa #.
　次に、電源側コントローラ１３０は、制御パラメータを参照して、入力電圧Ｖｉｎが下限電圧ＶｉｎＬを超え、且つ上限電圧ＶｉｎＨ未満であるか否かを判定する（ステップＳ３１６）。電源側コントローラ１３０は、入力電圧Ｖｉｎが、下限電圧ＶｉｎＬ以下である場合、または上限電圧ＶｉｎＨ以上である場合、Ｓ３１０の処理に移り、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０を停止させる。 Next, the power supply side controller 130 refers to the control parameter and determines whether or not the input voltage Vin exceeds the lower limit voltage VinL and is lower than the upper limit voltage VinH (step S316). When the input voltage Vin is equal to or lower than the lower limit voltage VinL, or when the input voltage Vin is equal to or higher than the upper limit voltage VinH, the power supply side controller 130 proceeds to the processing of S310 and stops the power supply side DC-DC converter 110.
　一方、電源側コントローラ１３０は、入力電圧Ｖｉｎが、下限電圧ＶｉｎＬを超え、且つ上限電圧ＶｉｎＨ未満である場合、入力側電流検出部１０２により出力された検出信号と、制御パラメータを参照して、入力電流Ｉｉｎが上限電流ＩｉｎＨを超えるか否かを判定する（ステップＳ３１８）。 On the other hand, when the input voltage Vin exceeds the lower limit voltage VinL and is lower than the upper limit voltage VinH, the power supply side controller 130 refers to the detection signal output by the input side current detection unit 102 and the control parameter, and inputs It is determined whether or not the current Iin exceeds the upper limit current IinH (step S318).
　電源側コントローラ１３０は、入力電流Ｉｉｎが上限電流ＩｉｎＨを超える場合、Ｓ３１０の処理に移り、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０を停止させる。 When the input current Iin exceeds the upper limit current IinH, the power supply controller 130 proceeds to S310 and stops the power supply DC-DC converter 110.
　一方、電源側コントローラ１３０は、入力電流Ｉｉｎが上限電流ＩｉｎＨを超えない場合、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０を制御して、制御パラメータが示す昇圧比αで直流電力を昇圧させる（ステップＳ３２０）。 On the other hand, when the input current Iin does not exceed the upper limit current IinH, the power supply side controller 130 controls the power supply side DC-DC converter 110 to boost the DC power by the boost ratio α indicated by the control parameter (step S320).
　次に、電源側コントローラ１３０は、出力側電圧検出部１０４により出力された検出信号と、制御パラメータとを参照して、出力電圧Ｖｏｕｔが下限電圧ＶｏｕｔＬを超え、且つ上限電圧ＶｏｕｔＨ未満であるか否かを判定する（ステップＳ３２２）。電源側コントローラ１３０は、出力電圧Ｖｏｕｔが下限電圧ＶｏｕｔＬ以下である場合、または上限電圧ＶｏｕｔＨ以上である場合、Ｓ３１０の処理に移り、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０を停止させる。 Next, the power supply side controller 130 refers to the detection signal output by the output side voltage detection unit 104 and the control parameter, and determines whether or not the output voltage Vout exceeds the lower limit voltage VoutL and is lower than the upper limit voltage VoutH. Is determined (step S322). When the output voltage Vout is equal to or lower than the lower limit voltage VoutL, or when the output voltage Vout is equal to or higher than the upper limit voltage VoutH, the power supply side controller 130 proceeds to the process of S310 and stops the power supply side DC-DC converter 110.
　一方、電源側コントローラ１３０は、出力電圧Ｖｏｕｔが下限電圧ＶｏｕｔＬを超え、且つ上限電圧ＶｏｕｔＨ未満である場合、出力側電流検出部１０３により出力された検出信号と、制御パラメータとを参照して、出力電流Ｉｏｕｔが上限電流ＩｏｕｔＨを超えるか否かを判定する（ステップＳ３２４）。電源側コントローラ１３０は、出力電流Ｉｏｕｔが上限電流ＩｏｕｔＨを超えない場合、Ｓ３１２の処理に移行する。 On the other hand, when the output voltage Vout exceeds the lower limit voltage VoutL and lower than the upper limit voltage VoutH, the power supply side controller 130 refers to the detection signal output by the output side current detection unit 103 and the control parameter to output It is determined whether or not the current Iout exceeds the upper limit current IoutH (step S324). If the output current Iout does not exceed the upper limit current IoutH, the power supply controller 130 proceeds to the process of S312.
　一方、電源側コントローラ１３０は、出力電流Ｉｏｕｔが上限電流ＩｏｕｔＨを超えた場合、Ｓ３１０の処理に移り、電源側ＤＣ‐ＤＣコンバータ１１０を停止させる。これによって、本フローチャートの処理が終了する。 On the other hand, when the output current Iout exceeds the upper limit current IoutH, the power supply side controller 130 proceeds to the process of S310 and stops the power supply side DC-DC converter 110. Thereby, the process of this flowchart is complete | finished.
