A Single-Phase Line-Interactive UPS System for Transformer-Coupled Loading Conditions

Abstract

A line-interactive uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system is one of the important installations implemented by industrial users to provide continuous power to sensitive industrial applications. Such loads often come with isolation transformers for voltage matching and protection purposes. Hence, a line-interactive UPS system experiences a serious problem of transient current when it operates under transformer-coupled loading conditions. The occurrence of this transient current can either impair the apparatus itself or turn on the overcurrent safety devices. In any situation, the interruption of electrical power for sensitive industrial loads is unavoidable. So as to keep the uninterrupted power and to eliminate transient current for industrial applications operating under transformer-coupled loading conditions, we propose a single-phase line-interactive UPS system based on a customary current-regulated inverter. The inverter of the proposed UPS system employs an improved current-regulating scheme implemented in a stationary frame of reference which regulates the load current and never let it to increase than a prescribed value as the transformer-coupled loads are turned on. Laboratory test results obtained under various operating and loading conditions of the single-phase line-interactive UPS system verify the operation of the proposed system. INDEX TERMS Line-interactive, flexible loading conditions, transient current, transformer-coupled loads.

Comparative Analysis of Modulation Techniques on the Losses and Thermal Limits of Uninterruptible Power Supply Systems

“…UPS systems are classified into three types based on their operation and configuration. These three types include passive stand-by/offline, line-interactive, and double conversion/online [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ]. Offline UPSs are the simplest configuration with only one power conversion stage.…”

“…Line-interactive UPSs are similar in configuration to offline UPSs; however, they include an AC line conditioning function to regulate the output and compensate grid undervoltages and overvoltages, providing a stable output voltage [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. Both offline and line-interactive UPS use a transfer switch to disconnect the grid and connect the inverter when faults occur.…”
