Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for controlling an uninterrupted power supply system comprising multiple converters and a control device, the multiple converters are connected in parallel between a power supply side and a load side of the uninterrupted power supply system, each converter is provided to be individually activated by the control device to provide power from the power supply side to the load side, comprising the steps of determining a system load level at the load side of the uninterruptable power supply system, determining a number of required active converters based on the system load level and a system efficiency depending on the number of active converters, and activating the number of required converters based on the above determination.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an uninterruptable power supply system and method with a first AC source providing three-phase AC power, a DC source providing DC power, and a power converter receiving AC power from the first AC source and/or DC power from the DC source and delivering two wire DC power to a load via a DC output line. One pole of the DC output line is connected to the neutral reference of the four-wire AC-power supply line. The system may include a bypass device for passing power from its output side to the DC output line with the bypass device and the power converter being connected in parallel to the DC output line. The bypass device may include at least one switching unit, which receives AC power at its input side, and a control unit to supply pulsed power from an AC power supply.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an uninterruptable power supply system (100) comprising a first AC source (108) providing three-phase AC power via a four-wire AC-power supply line (112); a DC source (110) providing DC power via a DC power supply line (114), and a power converter (102) receiving AC power from the first AC source (108) and/or DC power from the DC source (110) and delivering two wire DC power to a load (118) via a DC output line (116), whereby one pole of the DC output line (116) is connected to the neutral reference of the four-wire AC-power supply line (112), the uninterruptable power supply system (100) further comprises a bypass device (142) for passing power from its output side (106) to the DC output line (116), whereby the bypass device (142) and the power converter (102) are connected in parallel to the DC output line (116), and the bypass device (142) comprises at least one switching unit (144), which receives AC power at its input side, and a control unit (138), whereby the switching unit (144) is controlled by the control unit (138) to supply pulsed power from an AC power supply with essentially the same polarity as the DC output line (116). The present invention also provides a method for realizing a bypass in the above uninterruptable power supply system (100).
