An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) allows small companies and domestic users to cope with power outages; but existing designs lack flexibility of control and require expensive battery maintenance, with a cost proportional to the outage compensation time. We combine a compact synchronous generator with a battery, with 10% of the capacity that would otherwise be required, to obtain a UPS with reduced maintenance costs for the same performance. Any UPS must respond immediately to a power loss, and our uninterruptible generator supply (UGS) is therefore built around real-time scheduling of its internal operations; this also makes it suitable for integration into the industrial gateway. The UGS is based on a real-time operating system, with an integrated wireless module providing connectivity to a web server, for monitoring and management, which can be performed remotely on a mobile device.

This paper addresses an improved naval combat UPS(Uninterruptable Power Supply) system under abnormal transients. Previously, thermistor and varistor elements were used to cope with transient overvoltage and overcurrent, however the UPS was frequently unavailable because it was vulnerable to abnormal transient voltage generated during system operation. In order to overcome this problem and protect UPS system, this paper proposes an input power cut-off circuit that detects the initial input power and abnormal transient voltage generated during operation, improvement of power control sequence, and a method to prevent malfunction of an inverter and CPU. The UPS system implementing the proposed method was simulated by input power variable test using programmable AC/DC generator, and finally validated its reliability and stability through field tests by mounting on multifunctional console of naval combat system.

Energy storage devices are necessary to obtain stable utilization of renewable energy sources. When black-out occurs, distributed renewable power sources with energy storage devices can operate under standalone mode as uninterruptable power supply. This paper proposes a dynamic response analysis with small-signal modeling for the standalone operation of a photovoltaic power generation system that includes a bidirectional charger/discharger with a battery. Furthermore, it proposes a DC-link voltage controller design of the entire power conditioning system, using the storage current under standalone operation. The purpose of this controller is to guarantee the stable operation of the renewable source and the storage subsystem, with the power conversion of a very efficient bypass-type PCS. This paper presents the operating principle and design guidelines of the proposed scheme, along with performance analysis and simulation. Finally, a hardware prototype of 1-kW power conditioning system with an energy storage device is implemented, for experimental verification of the proposed converter system.

최근 천재지변 및 여름철 전력난과 같은 예상치 못한 정전이 증가함에 따라 소규모 사업장 및 가정에서 무정전 전원공급장치에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있다. 기존의 무정전 전원공급장치는 정전 보상시간에 비례하여 높은 가격과 유지비용이 요구되며 사용자 편의성이 부족한 단점이 있었다. 본 논문에서는 무정전 전원공급장치 용량을 1/10 로 줄이고 부족한 정전보상시간을 늘리기 위하여 소형동기 발전기를 결합한 무정전 발전공급장치에 관한 설계 안을 제시한다. 제시한 발전공급장치는 Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) 기반의 제어기를 사용하여, 정전 발생시 순차적으로 무정전 전원공급장치와 소형 동기발전기를 동작시켜 전원을 공급한다. 또한 센서 네트워킹, 실시간 모니터링, 원격제어 등 다양한 실시간 서비스를 사용자에게 제공한다.
