The uninterruptible power supply (UPS) has become an integral part of modern computer and communication system to assure a continued and stable operation by providing an uninterruptible power to vital equipments. Various control methods have come to the fore in recent times with the advent of high frequency switching technologies. This paper describes the DSP control method for three phase UPS inverter which guarantees the sinusoidal output voltage under nonlinear load conditions. The proposed control scheme is verified by simulation and experiment.riment.

An efficiency improving method for Uninterruptible Power Supply System(UPS) was developed by using OP-AMP based application circuits such as voltage detection device, current detection device and static switch control device. The efficiency improving algorithm was made by mixing the operating concepts of On-Line type UPS with the operating concepts of Off-Line type UPS. The UPS' inverter does not work if the UPS' output load current is not higher than the low load operating current which is about 0-30(%) of the UPS' output load capacity. The low load operating current is adjustable within the half of the UPS' output load capacity. If the UPS' output load current is rising over than the low load operating current, the UPS' inverter starts working and the inverter output power feeds to the loads of UPS. If UPS' input power breaks out while UPS' inverter does not operate because the load current is low, the inverter starts working within 4(ms) with excessive output voltage which is ${\pm}$8(%) of normal UPS' output voltage. Like these. UPS can continuously feeds power to it's load device and reduce power consumptions.

This paper describes the performance comparison results for current controller of a single-phase PFC converter with 1-switch voltage doubler strategy for single-phase double-conversion UPS(Uninterruptible Power Supply). A single-phase PFC converter with 1-switch voltage doubler strategy needs a diode bridge and one bidirectional active switch. Thus it is possible to reduce the material cost. However, the study results of current controller design and comparison of current control method has not been known after the converter circuit was proposed. For the performance comparison of current control, single-phase 3 kVA double-conversion UPS was tested. The performance of PI and PR current controller is experimentally confirmed with followings - input current reference tracking, input power factor correction and input current THD suppression.

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.

Data center is an information hub and resource for information-centric society. Since data center houses hundreds to ten thousands servers, networking and communication equipment, and supporting systems energy saving is one of the hottest issues for green data center. Among several solutions for green data center this paper introduces higher voltage direct current (DC) power feeding system. Contrary to legacy alternating current (AC) power feeding system equipped with Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), higher voltage DC power feeding system is reported to be a more energy efficient and reliable solution for green data center thanks to less AC/DC and DC/AC conversions. Main focus of this paper is on reliability issue for reliable and continuous operation of higher voltage DC power feeding system. We present different types of configuration of the power feeding systems according to the level of reliability. We analyze the reliability of the power feeding systems based on M/M/1/N+1/N+1 queueing model. Operation of the power feeding system in case of failure is also presented.

There are a lot of troubles during the transfer of the source of electric power in UPS (uninterruptible power supply system) which is indispensable to the industrial equipments. They cause blackout accidents, resulting in a great economic loss. After measuring and analyzing the transient phenomena happening during the transfer, this paper presents the solution of the troubles. The solution can be used as a basic material for maintenance and it can minimize the troubles occurring in UPS and enhance the reliability of it.
