 ABSTRACT 

Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) have reached a mature level by providing clean and uninterruptible power to the sensitive loads in all grid conditions. Generally UPS system provides regulated sinusoidal output voltage, with low total harmonics distortion (THD), and high input power factor irrespective of the changes in the grid voltage. This paper provides comprehensive review of UPS topologies, circuit configurations, and different control techniques used in the UPS system. A comparison based on the performance, size, cost, and efficiency of the system is presented. Different hybrid energy source UPS system and new generation UPS system for smart grid and micro-grid has been explained. Finally the paper describes performance evaluation of UPS system and explains different aspects that are to be considered for choosing a suitable UPS system by the user.

DESENVOLVIMENTO DE UPS TRIFASICA DE ALTO RENDIMENTO UTILIZANDO MOSFETS DE CARBONETO DE SILICIO AUTOR WENDELL DA CUNHA ALVES PROGRAMA DE PÓS-GRADUAÇÃO EM ENGENHARIA ELETRICA UNIVERSIDADE FEDERAL DE MINAS GERAIS BRASIL

Resumo 

Com o constante aumento do consumo de energia no mundo, a eficiência dos sistemas e equipamentos está se tornando cada vez mais importante. A UPS é um equipamento que fornece alimentação segura e confiável para sistemas de carga crítica, ou seja, sistemas em que uma interrupção do fornecimento pode levar a perdas econômicas ou até mesmo humanas. A UPS de dupla conversão é a classe UPS mais completa em termos de proteção da carga, regulação, desempenho e confiabilidade, no entanto, tem menor rendimento e maior custo por causa de seu elevado número de conversores eletrônicos de energia. Os dispositivos de Carbeto de Silício estão emergindo como uma oportunidade para construir conversores eletrônicos com maior eficiência e maior densidade de potência. O objetivo principal deste trabalho é projetar um conversor trifásico c.a.-c.c.-c.a. usando Carbeto de Silício para aplicações de UPS de dupla conversão. Para maximizar a eficiência e minimizar o custo, uma comparação é feita para guiar a seleção das topologias de conversor utilizadas. A comparação é feita sob duas condições de operação. Ao final da comparação, dois conversores c.a.-c.c.-c.a. com boa relação custo-benefício são propostos, um para cada condição. Em seguida, um dos conversores propostos é projetado, simulado e construído. As metodologias para dimensionar e escolher os principais componentes de hardware são descritas em detalhes. A operação do conversor e sua técnica de controle são validadas por meio de simulações no software PSIM. Os resultados experimentais obtidos com o protótipo comprovam o alto rendimento alcançável com MOSFETs de Carbeto de Silício.

Abstract Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFET belongs to the family of wide-band gap devices with inherit property of low switching and conduction losses. The stable operation of SiC MOSFET at higher operating temperatures has invoked the interest of researchers in terms of its application to high power density (HPD) power converters. This paper presents a performance study of SiC MOSFET based two-phase interleaved boost converter (IBC) for regulation of avionics bus voltage in more electric aircraft (MEA). A 450W HPD, IBC has been developed for study, which delivers 28V output voltage when supplied by 24V battery. A gate driver design for SiC MOSFET is presented which ensures the operation of converter at 250kHz switching frequency, reduces the miller current and gate signal ringing. The peak current mode control (PCMC) has been employed for load voltage regulation. The efficiency of SiC MOSFET based IBC converter is compared against Si counterpart. Experimentally obtained efficiency results are presented to show that SiC MOSFET is the device of choice under a heavy load and high switching frequency operation.

Abstract This paper presents a single switch, high step-up, non-isolated dc-dc converter suitable for renewable energy applications. The proposed converter is composed of a coupled inductor, a passive clamp circuit, a switched capacitor and voltage lift circuits. The passive clamp recovers the leakage inductance energy of the coupled inductor and limits the voltage spike on the switch. The configuration of the passive clamp and switched capacitor circuit increases the voltage gain. A wide continuous conduction mode (CCM) operation range, a low turn ratio for the coupled inductor, low voltage stress on the switch, switch turn on under almost zero current switching (ZCS), low voltage stress on the diodes, leakage inductance energy recovery, high efficiency and a high voltage gain without a large duty cycle are the benefits of this converter. The steady state operation of the converter in the continuous conduction mode (CCM) and discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) is discussed and analyzed. A 200W prototype converter with a 28V input and a 380V output voltage is implemented and tested to verify the theoretical analysis.

Key words: Coupled inductor, High step-up voltage gain, Single switch, Switched capacitor, Low voltage stress
