Title:
VEHICLE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/104204
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A vehicle according to an embodiment is equipped with a converter, an inverter, a pair of DC links, multiple storage cell modules, a step-down chopper, and a switching circuit unit. The converter is configured so as to be capable of converting single-phase AC power to DC power. The inverter is configured so as to be capable of converting DC power to three-phase AC power. The pair of DC links connect the converter and the inverter. The multiple storage cell modules are electrically connected to the pair of DC links. The step-down chopper is configured so as to be capable of stepping down DC power output from the positive-side DC link to the positive side of the multiple storage cell modules. The switching circuit unit switches the electrical connection relationship of the multiple storage cell modules between a series connection and a parallel connection, and switches the electrical connection relationship of the pair of DC links, the multiple storage cell modules, and the step-down chopper, for an AC power supply section, a DC power supply section, and a non-power-supply section.
