Recently, voltage sag from sudden increasing loads is also one of the major problems inside the utility network. In order to compensate the voltage sag problem, power compensation device systems could be a good solution method. In case of voltage sag, an energy source is needed to overcome the energy loss caused by the voltage sag. Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) is a very promising source of this energy due to its fast response of charging and discharging time. Before constructing the power electronic delivering system for the SMES, it is necessary to simulate the system to understand its behavior. Nowadays, a lot of devices have been developed to compensate voltage sag such as Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR), Distribution Static Compensator (D-STATCOM) and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). In this paper, focus is given only on DVR system which will be simulated by using PSCAD/EMTDC software.

The four-leg Voltage Source Converter(VSC) can use the DC link voltage effectively by the 3-D SVPWM method. Hence the DC battery voltage can be reduced by $15\%$ in comparison to that of the conventional line-interactive UPS system. In this paper a novel line interactive Uninterruptible Power Supply(UPS) using the two four-leg VSCs is proposed. One VSC is in parallel with the ac link reactor of the power source side, and the other is in series with the load. The parallel four-leg voltage source inverter controls the three-phase line voltage independently in order to control the line reactor current indirectly. It eliminates the neutral line current and the active ripple power of the source side using the pqr theory so that unity power factor and the sinusoidal source current can be achieved even though both the source and the load voltages have zero sequence components. The series four-leg voltage source inverter compensates the line voltage and allows it to be balanced and harmonic-free. Both of the parallel and series four-leg voltage source inverters always act as independently controllable voltage sources, so that the three-phase output voltage shows a seamless transition to the backup mode. The feasibility of the proposed UPS system has been investigated and verified through computer simulations results.

This paper compares the output voltage control strategies of three-phase PWM inverter for uninterruptible power supply. The feedforward control, feedforward/feedback control, and decoupled feedback control in both the synchronous reference frame and the stationary reference frame are examined. In particular, it is shown that the response of the decoupled feedback controller in the synchronous reference frame can be improved by pole-zero cancellation method. It is also shown that the pole-zero cancellation method reduces to the deadbeat control, when it is implemented with digital controller.

This paper includes discussion on developing the test verified finite element model for one of the seismic qualification(safety) approaches. It presents a test verified finite element model of a UPS(Uninterruptible Power Supply System) to be used at KMRR, KAERI. The test verified model predicts natural frequencies within 5 percent error for all major modes below 50Hz. This model accurately represents the dynamic characteristics of the actual hardware and is qualified for its use in the final stress analysis for seismic verification.

In this paper, we propose a new control scheme for a PWM inverter using digital control. Digital control has various advantages in comparison with conventional analogue control. It can achieve high frequency switching of inverter and can be little influenced for temperature variations and aging of devices. This digitally-controlled PWM inverter is implemented using a Digital Signal Processor(DSPTMS320F240). The simulation results are given to verify the DSP based PWM inverter design and implementation.

This paper aims at developing remote control system to control and monitor distributed various devices through internet or information communication network. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) are adopted for network management protocol and applied device, respectively. For controlling and monitoring distributed devices in real-time, Java-environment software is constructed. Also, general-use interface controller between network device and applied device is proposed. Finally, serial communication such as RS-232 and RS-485 is used between controller and applied device.

This paper proposes a Intel 8097 single-chip microprocessor based instantaneous voltage control scheme of inverter for UPS(Uninterruptible Power Supply). There microprocessors are used to control the output voltage and frequency of the inverter, the synchronization with by-pass, and the switching of the static switch. And the status and operating conditions of UPS systems is monitored by micro processor. The inverter output voltage is controlled instantaneously with a double regulation loop so that it has very good dynamic response for the varying loads or nonlinear loads as a rectifier. And also, the software and hardware of control system is described. From simulation and experimental results, it is shown that the proposed scheme has very good performance.

This paper present fuzzy control technique for the control of output voltage and improvement of UPS wave forms. General UPS has the harmonics in carrier because of output of PWM signal using analog circuit. Output voltage is controlled by selecting PWM data to improve these problems, PWM signal discreted is written on ROM and analog circuit is removed at the system and output voltage is controlled by selecting PWM data by fuzzy controller.

In this paper, the development of a cost-effective active power filter/uninterruptible power supply (APF/UPS) system with seamless mode transfer is described. The proposed scheme employs a pulse-width-modulation (PWM) voltage-source inverter and has two operational modes. First, when the source voltage is normal, the system operates as an APF, which compensates for the harmonics and power factor while boosting the DC-link voltage to be ready for the disturbance, without an additional DC charging circuit. A simple algorithm to detect the load current harmonics is also proposed. Second, when the source voltage is out of the normal range (owing to sag, swell, or outage), it operates a UPS, which controls the output voltage constantly by discharging the DC-link capacitor. Furthermore, a seamless transfer method for the single-phase inverter between the APF mode and the UPS mode is also proposed, in which an IGBT switch with diodes is used as a static bypass switch. Dissimilar to a conventional SCR switch, the IGBT switch can implement a seamless mode transfer. During the UPS operation, when the source voltage returns to the normal range, the system operates as an APF. The proposed system has good transient and steady-state response characteristics. The APF, charging circuit, and UPS systems are implemented in one inverter system. Finally, the validity of the proposed scheme is investigated with simulated and experimental results for a prototype APF/UPS system rated at 3 kVA.

This paper deals with the operation of a flywheel energy storage UPS. The UPS has good features such as long life-time, improved efficiency, no environmental problems, reduced size and space, and low maintenance cost compared with the conventional UPS using battery. The operating principle of the UPS is analysed in each mode including voltage compensation as well as uninterruptible power supply. Especially, the tracking characteristic of the disturbed phase of the source voltage after outage is analysed. The usefulness of the system is proved through simulations and experiments.
