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.

Nowadays, the power quality issue becomes very important in the electric distribution system. Especially, when a distribution transformer is replaced, the customers who are supplied electricity from the transformer feel inconvenience due to electric outage. Therefore, an advanced method for the distribution transformer replacement without outage is strongly required. The conventional method is the primary-secondary high voltage bypass method according to the transformer utilization factor and the field condition. But it is inconvenient and has some problems such as breakdown and security troubles of the workers according to the unauthorized and temporary work. Therefore, the new scheme for the replacement with uninterruptable power supply is demanded. This paper proposes the new replacement method using the phase converter. The proposed method can reduces the process of replacement work and also ensures worker's safety. Therefore, the method is reasonable in comparison with the conventional method. The proposed method is able to contribute the national economy growth and elevate the convenience of national life by uninterruptable power supply.

This paper presents a proper parallel control method using a conventional control and a repetitive control for improving the output voltage waveform of uninterruptable power supply. Although first-order prediction control method shows a good characteristics to rectifier load, it is not sufficient to reduce steady state errors generated in nonlinear loads such as rectifier loads and phase controled loads. So we also employed a repetitive control method. A repetitive control method can eliminate steady state errors in the distorted output voltage caused by cyclic loads. The presented control scheme is verified through simulation and experiment. Experimental results Implemented on a single phase PWM inverter equipped with a LC output filter with 3 kVA, 60 Hz are shown.

The concept and results of a simple constant switching frequency delta modulation scheme suitable for DC-AC power conversion in uninterruptable power supply (UPS) applications are presented. Unlike the traditional delta modulation scheme, the scheme has a well defined harmonic spectrum, resulting in a simple filter design and reduced radio interference.

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.

Recently, for increasing consumed power and informational society, confidence of power supply is demanded. Beside, owing to most of these loads are nonlonear, utility line is polluted by these components, therefore, it is demanded compensation of harmonic current. In times past, special order of harmonic current is only compensated by passive filter, but active power filter can compensate whole harmonic current. Therefore, this paper propose uninterruptable power supply(UPS) with performance of active power filter.

This paper investigates the stability and performance of model predictive controlled active-front-end (AFE) rectifiers for energy storage systems, which has been increasingly applied in power distribution sectors and in renewable energy sources to ensure an uninterruptable power supply. The model predictive control (MPC) algorithm utilizes the discrete behavior of power converters to determine appropriate switching states by defining a cost function. The stability of the MPC algorithm is analyzed with the discrete z-domain response and the nonlinear simulation model. The results confirms that the control method of the active-front-end (AFE) rectifier is stable, and that is operates with an infinite gain margin and a very fast dynamic response. Moreover, the performance of the MPC controlled AFE rectifier is verified with a 3.0 kW experimental system. This shows that the MPC controlled AFE rectifier operates with a unity power factor, an acceptable THD (4.0 %) level for the input current and a very low DC voltage ripple. Finally, an efficiency comparison is performed between the MPC and the VOC-based PWM controllers for AFE rectifiers. This comparison demonstrates the effectiveness of the MPC controller.

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.
