Abstract
A parallel operation of Uninterruptible Power Supply(UPS) systems is used to increase power capacity of the system or to secure higher reliability at critical loads. In the conventional parallel operation, the load-sharing control to maintain the current balance is the most important, since the load-sharing is very sensitive to discord between components of each module, amplitude/phase difference, line impedance, output LC filter, and so on. To solve these problems various control algorithms are researching. However, these methods cannot apply to the different ratings of UPS. In the case, master and slave control algorithm for parallel operation is adequate. However, if the UPS ratings are different, the value of passive filters L, C is different, and it affects the sharing of current. This paper presents general problems of conventional parallel operation systems, and control strategy for parallel operation with different ratings. The validity of the proposed control strategy is investigated through simulation and experiment in the parallel operation system with two 3-phase UPS systems.
본 논문에서는 전체 시스템의 용량 증대와 부하 중요도에 따른 신뢰성 향상을 위해 사용되는 UPS 병렬 운전시 발생하는 문제점을 해석하고, 이를 해결하기 위해 기존에 연구되어온 다양한 제어기법들을 조사하였다. 또한 기존의 연구방법에서 적용할 수 없었던 다른 정격의 병력 운전 적용시 L, C 출력필터에 의한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 주종 제어를 이용한 3상 UPS의 전류 분달 제어기법이 연구되었다. 제안된 제어 알고리즘의 타당성을 검증하기 위해 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 수행하였다.
