Abstract:
An electric power conversion unit of an electric power converter establishes two converter circuits including four switching elements and two batteries and carries out electric power conversion in a parallel mode in which the batteries are connected in parallel with each other. A controller is configured to set a control signal for each of the switching elements, identify a target switching element of which a temperature is suppressed, determine a state having a maximum loss value in correspondence with input-output data, and execute phase control for suppressing the maximum loss value.
