Chapter 11 UPS

This document discusses power conditioners and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). It notes that utility power quality is a growing concern and may not be perfectly sinusoidal. UPS systems provide backup power from batteries when utility power is interrupted or unstable. The document outlines various circuit arrangements for UPS systems, including possible rectifier, inverter, and battery charging configurations. It also discusses electronic tap changers for voltage regulation and control strategies for UPS systems supplying multiple nonlinear loads simultaneously.

Chapter 11

Power Conditioners and Uninterruptible


Power Supplies

• Becoming more of a concern as utility de-regulation


proceeds
11-1
Distortion in the Input Voltage

• The voltage supplied by the utility may not be


sinusoidal

Chapter 11 Power Conditioners 11-2


and UPS
Typical Voltage Tolerance Envelope for
Computer Systems

• This has been superceded by a more recent


standard

and UPS
Electronic Tap Changers

• Controls voltage magnitude by connecting the


output to the appropriate transformer tap

and UPS
Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)

• Block diagram; energy storage is shown to be in


batteries but other means are being investigated

and UPS
UPS: Possible Rectifier Arrangements

• The input normally supplies power to the load as


well as charges the battery bank

Chapter 11 Power Conditioners 11-7


and UPS
UPS: Another Possible Rectifier
Arrangement

• Consists of a high-frequency isolation transformer

Chapter 11 Power Conditioners 11-8

and UPS
Battery Charging Waveforms as Function of
Time

• Initially, a discharged battery is charged with a


constant current

Chapter 11 Power Conditioners 11-10


and UPS
UPS: Various Inverter Arrangements

• Depends on applications, power ratings

Chapter 11 Power Conditioners 11-11


and UPS
UPS: Control

• Typically the load is highly nonlinear and the voltage


output of the UPS must be as close to the desired
sinusoidal reference as possible

Chapter 11 Power Conditioners 11-12


and UPS
UPS Supplying Several Loads

• With higher power UPS supplying several loads,


malfunction within one load should not disturb the
other loads

Chapter 11 Power Conditioners 11-13


and UPS
Another Possible UPS Arrangement

• Functions of battery charging and the inverter are


combined
