The economical criterion for those batteries are mainly the upfront capital costs and the operational costs including maintenance. Facing the battery's owning costs in the 2300 substations under operation in France, Electricite de France Research and Development has developed an innovative system called \"Stationary Multibat\". From an economical aspect, we have focused our work on the development of a battery management system adapted for low-cost batteries and the use of GSM supervision for reducing maintenance interventions and costs. Then, during the year 2004, EDF R&D has patented the system and developed a laboratory prototype of a 20 kWh backup system under 48 V which includes the following aspects: use of a low-cost lead-acid battery, use of a battery array with parallel strings managed independently to increase reliability, development of a battery manager monitoring capacity periodically and controlling the charge and floating state to be adapted for the selected low-cost batteries, remote control by GSM for maintenance service","PeriodicalId":356699,"journal":{"name":"INTELEC 06 - Twenty-Eighth International Telecommunications Energy Conference","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123038831","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}

The method in itself is well known from 1980's but the dynamical features the method would provide have not been fully investigated and reported. This paper provides the theory behind the IVFF control according to which the dynamical properties of the associated converter are studied and experimentally verified. According to the investigations, the properly implemented IVFF control would provide input-to-output noise attenuation comparable to the peak-current-mode controlled converter, the voltage-loop gain largely independent of input voltage, highly reduced input-filter interactions but also increased sensitivity to negative-resistor-oscillation (NRO) phenomenon even at open loop","PeriodicalId":356699,"journal":{"name":"INTELEC 06 - Twenty-Eighth International Telecommunications Energy Conference","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129553038","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}

This situation has led to new electric power network systems that supply multiple power quality levels to authorized consumers. As part of our research on demonstrating the supply of multiple power quality levels, we developed an integrated power system. We checked that the system can always supply high-quality electricity regardless of the condition of the AC upstream line and that it can assure the electricity quality of an AC upstream line when a distributed power supply is run independently. In addition, we built a DC distribution network and tried a DC 300 V distribution. DC distribution has conventionally been used for communication facilities at 48 V, but this voltage is too low to supply large-capacity electricity. Electric power can be distributed on a macro scale and distribution losses can be reduced by using a voltage of 300 V, but measures must be taken for safety. Therefore, we used a semiconductor switch in a protective device for DC 300 V distribution. We checked that it shorted the parallel circuit within about 1.0 mus of excess current being detected. We report the specifications and functions of the integrated power system and describe the DC protective device with a semiconductor switch","PeriodicalId":356699,"journal":{"name":"INTELEC 06 - Twenty-Eighth International Telecommunications Energy Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115745939","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}

Detection of leak to ground as low as 4 mA is a standard feature in UPS battery installations. In Telco applications one of the battery busses is usually grounded, therefore ground fault detection appears to be redundant. Placement of the battery in closed cabinet initially removed the requirements of ground detection. However, the issue of serious failure of the system in the case of ground failure initiated the search not so much for ground detection as for leakage of current to ground. In some instances it is possible to use the same technique as for the \"floating\" battery.
