Improved single-phase line-interactive UPS

An improved single-phase line-interactive uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is proposed for low-power applications with low cost. The proposed UPS is comprised of two push-pull converters based on a low-voltage battery for reduced cost: one in series with the input and the other in parallel with the load. In the presence of input power, the UPS acts as an output voltage regulator and at the same time as an active filter while charging the battery. In case of loss of input power, the UPS supplies a regulated sinusoidal voltage to the load, drawing power from the battery. The series converter compensates only a small percentage of the input voltage carrying the input current and, therefore, a reduced rating is made. The parallel converter always supplies a nominal voltage and makes a seamless transition to backup mode. In the voltage determination of the parallel converter, the nominal voltage is derived using the feedback linearization concept and then a perturbed voltage is determined for the reactive power control or output voltage regulation. Experimental results obtained from a 1-kVA prototype are discussed     

A new UPS topology employing a PFC boost rectifier cascadedhigh-frequency tri-port converter

A new uninterruptible power supply (UPS) topology using the high-frequency tri-port UPS technique is proposed which presents the advantages of no-break power, low cost, input unity power factor, high power density, and high power conversion efficiency. Through the proposed circuit configuration, charging concept, and control strategy, the battery management is easily obtained by controlling the output voltage of the power-factor-correction (PFC) converter, which results in no additional power device being required for charging. The implementing circuit of the charging method is submitted to perform the two-stage charging, constant current charging, and constant voltage charging. The proposed technologies can be applied to the switching power supply with built-in UPS function featuring a low-cost solution for computer equipment, Finally, an experimental AC online UPS is built to verify the proposed concept, analysis, and control strategy     

A novel on-line UPS with universal filtering capabilities

A novel line-interactive uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is proposed that offers the characteristics of an “on-line” or “inverter-preferred” UPS (which incorporates a pulse-width modulation (PWM) rectifier) at a reduced cost. This new UPS is based on the combination of two full-bridge VSI converters: one in series with the input and the other in parallel with the load. The UPS acts as a line conditioner and output-voltage stabilizer in the presence of input power while charging the battery at a controlled rate. In case of loss of input power, the UPS can make a seamless transition to backup mode while supplying the load with a controlled sinusoidal voltage, drawing power from the battery. The series converter sees only a small percentage of the input voltage (typically, 10%-20%) while carrying the input current and therefore has a small kilovoltampere rating. The parallel converter supplies the load during blackout and hence determines the total kilovoltampere rating of the UPS. The reduced kilovoltampere rating of the series converter results in reduced system cost compared to conventional on-line systems without sacrificing any desirable characteristics. A laboratory version of the proposed UPS has been built to demonstrate the claimed capabilities, and both simulation and experimental results are included in the paper     

Series-parallel resonant UPS with capacitive output DC bus filter for powering HFC networks

This paper presents a single high-frequency transformer full isolated uninterruptible power supply based on series-parallel resonant converters for powering hybrid fiber-coaxial networks. The proposed UPS provides galvanic isolation for the load and the battery, and operates with high input power factor while producing a trapezoidal output voltage waveform either at 60 Hz or at 1 Hz. Small size and light weight are achieved without penalizing the overall efficiency by operating at high frequency and by ensuring zero voltage switching (ZVS) under the different operating conditions. In addition, it is demonstrated that by using a capacitive output DC bus filter it is possible to reduce the current stresses during the backup mode by the appropriate selection of the transformer turns ratio. A design procedure for the selection of the key resonant circuit parameters is developed and exemplified. Experimental results obtained from a laboratory prototype demonstrate the overall performance of the system.

High-performance online UPS using three-leg-type converter

A high-performance single-phase online uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is proposed. The UPS is composed of a three-leg-type converter which operates as a battery charger and an inverter. The first leg is controlled to charge the battery, and the third leg is controlled to make the output voltage. The common leg is controlled in line frequency. The charger and the inverter are controlled independently. The charger has the capability of power-factor correction while charging a battery. The inverter regulates output voltage and limits output current under an impulsive load. The three-leg-type converter reduces the number of switching devices. As a result, the system has less power loss and a low-cost structure. In the determination of the charger voltage, the nominal voltage is derived using the feedback linearization concept and then a perturbed voltage is determined for the reactive power control. The disturbance of input voltage is detected using a fast sensing technique of the input voltage. Experimental results obtained with a 3-VA prototype show a normal efficiency of over 87% and an input power factor of over 99%.

TRIAC dimmable ballast with power equalization

A two-stage, two-wire TRIAC dimmable electronic ballast for fluorescent lamps is presented in this paper. It is constructed by using a flyback converter as the input power factor corrector to supply a half-bridge series-resonant parallel-loaded inverter to ballast the lamp. The flyback converter is operated in discontinuous conduction mode so that the filtered input current profile is the same as the TRIAC-controlled voltage waveform. The switches in the inverter are switched at a constant frequency slightly higher than the resonant frequency of the resonant tank. Based on the constant average input current characteristics of the inverter, the dimming operation is simply achieved by pulsewidth modulation control of the magnitude of the flyback converter output voltage. No synchronization network is required between the input and output stages. In addition, a linear power equalization scheme is developed so that the dc-link voltage (and hence the lamp power) is in a linear relationship with the firing angle of the TRIAC. The average output voltage of the dimmer controls the equalized flyback converter output voltage. Modeling, analysis, and design of the ballast will be described. A prototype was implemented to verify the experimental measurements with the theoretical predictions.

A High Efficiency Dual-Mode Buck Converter IC For Portable Applications

This paper presents the design of a novel wide output current range dual-mode dc to dc step-down (Buck) switching regulator/converter. The converter can adaptively switch between pulsewidth modulation (PWM) and pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) both with very high conversion efficiency. Under light load condition the converter enters PFM mode. The function of closing internal idle circuits is implemented to save unnecessary switching losses. The converter can be switched to PWM mode when the load current is greater than 100 mA. Soft start operation is designed to eliminate the excess large current at the start up of the regulator. The chip has been fabricated with a TSMC 2P4M 0.35 mum polycide CMOS process. The range of the operation voltage is from 2.7 to 5 V, which is suitable for single-cell lithium-ion battery supply applications. The maximum conversion efficiency is 95% at 50 mA load current. Above 85 % conversion efficiency can be reached for load current from 3 to 460 mA.     

Analysis and design of a single-stage single-switch bi-flyback ac/dc converter

An analysis and design of single-stage, single-switch bi-flyback ac/dc converter is presented. The main flyback stage controls the output power from the link capacitor voltage with Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) or Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) operation, while an auxiliary flyback stage supplies the power to the output directly from ac line input with DCM operation.

This scheme can effectively reduce the voltage stress on the link capacitor and can achieve the power factor correction (PFC) without a dead band at line zero-crossings, which reduces the harmonic distortion in ac line current. Theoretical analysis of the converter is presented and design guidelines to select circuit components are given. The experimental results on a 60?W (15?V, 4?A), 100?kHz ac/dc converter show that maximum link voltage and maximum efficiency are around 415?V and 82%, respectively. The power factor is above 0.96 under universal line input and load conditions.     

A simple control technique for single-SEPIC converter based multiple output SMPS with fully regulated and isolated outputs

Switched mode power supplies (SMPS) with multiple outputs are commonly used for powering up personal computers and many other consumer electronic appliances. Multiple output SMPS circuits normally employ several DC/DC converters for regulating the voltage in each of the outputs. In this paper, a single single ended primary inductance converter (SEPIC) is used to obtain multiple isolated and regulated DC outputs from a single unregulated DC input, so that the reliability and cost effectiveness of the system can be enhanced. Considering that a large number of SMPS are being used in various applications, it is essential to maintain good power quality at the AC mains side of the SMPS circuit adhering to the international standards. Average current control mode has been used in this paper to achieve unity power factor and sinusoidal current at the input side. A novel weighted error approach has been proposed to achieve excellent voltage regulation at all the outputs of the SMPS irrespective of the load variations and input supply fluctuations. The proposed system has been designed and simulated in a PSIM environment and implemented in hardware. The results obtained show an enhanced performance of the power supply in terms of its output voltage regulation and input power quality.
