Motor control device of air conditioner using distributed power supply

A motor control device of an air conditioner comprising:

• a first dc/dc converter which is supplied an outside DC power and converts the outside DC power to a first level DC power which is output;
• a power detecting unit to detect a DC terminal bus DC power;
• a bidirectional dc/ac converter to convert the DC terminal bus DC power into a first AC power and to transfer the first AC power to a system, or to convert a second AC power from the system into a second level DC power and to supply the second level DC power to the DC terminal bus;
• a plurality of inverters to respectively convert the DC terminal bus DC power into a plurality of AC power by a switching operation and to drive a plurality of motors for a compressor using the plurality of AC power;
• an output current detecting unit to detect an output current flowing through a first motor from among the plurality of motors;
• a second dc/dc converter to convert the DC terminal bus DC power into a third level DC power and to output the third level DC power to a first inverter of the plurality of inverters;
• a third dc/dc converter to convert the DC terminal bus DC power into a fourth level DC power and to output the fourth level DC power to a second inverter of the plurality of inverters;
• a control unit to control switching elements in the plurality of inverters, to control the bidirectional dc/ac converter, and to control the first, second and third dc/dc converter,
• wherein the control unit receives DC terminal bus DC power from the power detecting unit and outputs a bidirectional converter controls signal for control of the bidirectional dc/ac converter, and
• the control unit receives the output current from the output current detecting unit and outputs an inverter switching control signal for control of the first inverter,
• wherein the control unit controls the first dc/dc converter to adjust the first level DC power output from the first dc/dc converter using the DC terminal bus DC power detected from the power detecting unit,
• wherein the control unit controls the second dc/dc converter to adjust the third level DC power output from the second dc/dc converter using the DC terminal bus DC power detected from the power detecting unit,
• wherein the control unit controls the bidirectional dc/ac converter to convert the DC terminal bus DC power into the first AC power and transfer the first AC power to the system when the DC terminal bus DC power is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, and to convert the second AC power from the system to the second level DC power and transfer the second level DC power to the DC terminal bus when the DC terminal bus DC power is less than the predetermined value,
• wherein when the second level DC power output from the bidirectional dc/ac converter or the first level DC power output from the first dc/dc converter is outside allowable range for operation of one of the first inverter, the second dc/dc converter converts the DC terminal bus DC power to the third level DC power and outputs to the third level DC power to the first inverter.
