In this developed two-stage structure, 400 V three-phase three-level T-type PFC ac-dc input stage is followed by an isolated dc-dc buck converter as an output stage. The combination of SiC Schottky Barrier Diodes (SBDs) and Super Junction (SJ) MOSFETs are employed for input stage in order to achieve high switching frequency of operation at lower total semiconductor losses. Employing three-level topology at high switching frequency of 58 kHz contributes considerable volume reduction of magnetic components in the input stage. Two different switching schemes, soft switching (ZVS) with phase-shift control at high operating point and hard switching with on duty control at lower operating point are adaptively employed in the dc-dc output stage in order to maintain high efficiency over wide range of operating point. The operating switching frequency of 65 kHz is chosen for the output stage. As a result, developed two-stage ac-dc power supply achieves the total efficiency of 93.6 % at nominal output power.","PeriodicalId":211948,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Telecommunications Energy Conference (INTELEC)","volume":"3 10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129176055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Modularized UPS system consists of a single master module and multi slave modules. A master module performs output voltage control and distributes current commands to slave modules. The current commands are generated by using the proposed current sharing algorithm to balance the SOC of each UPS module. Moreover, the UPS mode transfer time can be significantly reduced by using the predictive current control. The predictive current control method is mathematically verified by analyzing the UPS system. The validity of proposed balancing method and predictive control is verified by simulation results.","PeriodicalId":211948,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Telecommunications Energy Conference (INTELEC)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128829975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
