This paper proposes a wireless parallel operation method of three-phase modular UPS inverter using resistive droop control. Furthermore, it applies a virtual resistor to droop control so that the output impedance of UPS inverter gets closer to resistive. It makes resistive droop control effective. The simulation using PSIM was performed in order to verify the validity of proposed algorithm. After consisting two-parallel system with three-phase modular UPS inverter, the experiment according to resistive load was conducted. It demonstrated the performance of current sharing and power sharing.

In this paper, three-phase power equalizing system (PES) with UPS function is proposed. This system is based on NiMH battery with battery management system. The power conversion circuit is composed with the three-phase converter/inverter, the bi-directional converter, and the thyristor switches. The three-phase converter/inverter provides the power to the grid or get the power from the grid. Also, it operates as a UPS. The bi-directional converter charges or discharges the battery. The thyristor switches are used for connecting/disconnecting with the grid and the load. A 15 kW prototype is implemented for the verifying the performance of the proposed system.

Normally, various auxiliary loads are installed along with the main load in industrial applications. Usually, load transformers are used to convey such types of auxiliary loads. The transformers become energized when the loads are turned-on, consequently, high amplitude of inrush current appears at the output of the uninterrupted power supply (UPS) system. To mitigate these high current amplitudes, this manuscript suggests a three-phase line-interactive UPS system to counter the inrush current during the turning-on of the auxiliary load transformer while powering the main load by using a current controlled inverter. Experimental results of a laboratory-sized prototype are provided in the support of the proposed UPS system for validation.

In this paper a new PFC Controller for 3-Phase Modular UPS(Uninterruptible Power Supplies) is proposed. The PFC circuit for 3-Phase Modular UPS is implemented using three 1-phase 3-level boost PFC circuits. To control DC output voltage, single voltage controller considering imbalance of two capacitor voltages and to regulate AC input current three independent current controllers are used in proposed PFC controller. By the proposed method, without additional hardware, THD(Total Harmonic Distortion) of input currents can be readily limited below 5% which is the harmonic current requirements by IEEE std. 519. Its validity is verified by simulations and experiments.

In a parallel operation of UPS, there are two types of circulating currents between UPS. One is the low order circulating current with a fundamental frequency caused by the amplitude and phase differences of UPS output voltages, and the other is the harmonic circulating current with PWM switching frequency caused by non-synchronized PWM waveforms among UPS. The elimination of the low order circulating current is essential for optimal load sharing in parallel operations of UPS, which can be accomplished by the phase and magnitude control at each UPS. The harmonic circulating current may cause troubles and deteriorate in performance of the controller for optimal load sharing in parallel operation of UPS. This paper presents a PWM synchronizing method to eliminate the harmonic circulation current in parallel operation of UPS. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme has been investigated and verified through experiments by a 50kVA UPS.

The main purpose of the UPS is to supply independent and stable power to connected equipment. In installing and operating the UPS system, songle module, three phase UPS in more benefit than multi module, songle phase UPS in the point of volume and cost. However, when supplying Rectifier with output power form three phase UPS, by connecting auto-transformer, occurred harmonic and ripple current makes output filter damaged and leads to nonlinear current coasted by unbalance load. Therefor, in this paper the aim of concentring compound-wound transformer and harmonic filter is supplying liner current by reducing harmonic and ripple current and improving unbalance in voltage and distortion in current wave.

This paper describes a novel control method of a three-phase PWM inverter for uninterruptible power supply(UPS) applications. To obtain the fast dynamics and excellent harmonic characteristics, a new state feedback control technique is proposed. The proposed control consists of the inner-loop current and outer-loop voltage controllers with a load current estimator to reduce the effects of the load variations and nonlinearity. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control, the simulation is carried out for various load condition.

This paper proposes a combined fuzzy adaptive sliding-mode voltage controller (FASVC) for a three-phase UPS inverter. The proposed FASVC encapsulates two control terms: a fuzzy adaptive compensation control term, which solves the problem of parameter uncertainties, and a sliding-mode feedback control term, which stabilizes the error dynamics of the system. To extract precise load current information, the proposed method uses a conventional load current observer instead of current sensors. In addition, the stability of the proposed control scheme is fully guaranteed by using the Lyapunov stability theory. It is shown that the proposed FASVC can attain excellent voltage regulation features such as a fast dynamic response, low total harmonic distortion (THD), and a small steady-state error under sudden load disturbances, nonlinear loads, and unbalanced loads in the existence of the parameter uncertainties. Finally, experimental results are obtained from a prototype 1 kVA three-phase UPS inverter system via a TMS320F28335 DSP. A comparison of these results with those obtained from a conventional sliding-mode controller (SMC) confirms the superior transient and steady-state performances of the proposed control technique.
