    摘要: Uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs), power conversion apparatus and power conversion methods are provided which may improve phase regulation of polyphase AC voltages in the presence of load imbalances. According to one embodiment, a UPS includes a DC voltage generating circuit that produces a DC voltage. A space vector domain controlled inverter couples the DC voltage generating circuit to an AC load, and produces a polyphase AC output voltage at the load by sensing a plurality of voltages at the load, transforming the plurality of sensed voltages according to a space vector (d-q) transformation to produce an output space vector, generating an error space vector from the output space vector and a reference space vector, and selectively coupling the DC voltage generating circuit to the load responsive to the error space vector. In this manner, a voltage control loop is closed in the d-q domain, which may improve per-phase regulation of the polyphase AC output. Preferably, compensation is applied to the error space vector to produce a control space vector that compensates for poles or other transfer characteristics of the forward path of the voltage control loop. In another embodiment, the reference space vector is generated by an outer voltage amplitude loop that compares a sum of the plurality of output voltages at the load to a reference voltage amplitude, generating an error amplitude voltage which is compensated and then transformed according to a space vector transformation to produce the reference space vector that serves as the set point for the inner space vector domain control loop.

    摘要: A parallel redundant power supply system which does not use any inter-unit signaling is obtained by using the AC output power level of a power system to coordinate load sharing. The necessary information for load sharing is derived solely from each power system's output power level in such a manner that the output of a power system is inherently phase locked to the output of other power systems to which it is connected in parallel. Each parallel connected power system designed in accordance with the invention includes means for generating an AC output voltage from a DC input power source, means for sampling either a DC input voltage from the DC input power source or the AC output voltage from the AC output voltage generating means to provide power level samples, and means for determining the AC output power of the AC output voltage generating means from the power level samples. A control signal is then generated and provided to the AC output voltage generating means to control the AC output phase and output frequency of the AC output voltage from the AC output voltage generating means based on the output power level of the AC output voltage generating means and a derivative of the output power level of the AC output voltage generating means so as to affect load sharing in a manner proportional to a unit power rating of the power system with other power systems to which the power system is connected in parallel without requiring inter-unit signaling between the power systems. Generally, the control signal is determined by integrating the derivative of the output power level of the AC output voltage generating means as determined from the power level samples.

    摘要: A parallel redundant power supply system which does not use any inter-unit signaling is obtained by deriving all information necessary for a robust selective trip regime from the output signals of each respective power system. Each respective power system monitors its own power output and keeps a running average of its own performance to determine whether it is operating properly, rather than comparing itself to other units. The trip function is created by sampling the AC output voltage of the power system and multiplying an instantaneous difference in voltage (compared with a previous cycle) with the instantaneous difference in current (also compared with a previous cycle) of the power system's AC output power. If the two transients are in opposite directions, then the multiplicative product will be negative and indicative of a good power system. On the other hand, if the two transients are in the same direction, then the multiplicative product will be positive and indicative of a failed unit. The power system is removed from the power circuit when the multiplicative product is positive and greater than a predetermined trip value. The same technique may be used for self-monitoring of a single power supply connected to a load.

    摘要: In a power converter apparatus, such as an uninterruptible power supply, a phase reference signal is generated responsive to a DC voltage on a DC bus. A magnitude reference signal may be generated responsive to a phase current of an AC bus and/or the DC voltage on the DC bus. Power is transferred between the AC and DC busses responsive to the phase reference signal and the magnitude reference signal. Generation of the phase reference signal may include generating a DC voltage error signal responsive to the DC voltage on the DC bus, generating a phase offset signal responsive to the DC voltage error signal, and generating the phase reference signal responsive to the phase offset signal. Generation of the magnitude reference signal may include generating a volt-amperes reactive (VAR) error signal responsive to the phase current and generating the magnitude reference signal responsive to the VAR error signal.
