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• This has been superceded by a more recent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
Chapter 11 Power Conditioners 11-3
and UPS
Typical Range of Input Power Quality

Chapter 11 Power Conditioners 11-4


and UPS
Electronic Tap Changers

• Controls voltage magnitude by connecting the


output to the appropriate transformer tap

Chapter 11 Power Conditioners 11-5


and UPS
Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)

• Block diagram; energy storage is shown to be in


batteries but other means are being investigated

Chapter 11 Power Conditioners 11-6


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
UPS: Another Possible Input Arrangement

• A separate small battery charger circuit

Chapter 11 Power Conditioners 11-9


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

Chapter 11 Power Conditioners 11-14


and UPS
UPS: Using the Line Voltage as Backup

• Needs static transfer switches
