A saturable magnetic element produces the advantageous square waveforms and provides isolated terminals from which the output voltage can be controlled. Semiconductor stresses and losses are minimized both by the square waveforms and by low switching losses. The active switches and the output rectifiers both exhibit zero-voltage switching. The active switches (MOSFETs) are operated at a fixed frequency with 50% duty cycle, which allows the use of a simple self-oscillating gate drive. An experimental implementation achieves over 80% efficiency at approximately 70 W/in/sup 3/.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":358822,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Power Electronics Specialist Conference - PESC '93","volume":"125 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130134423","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}

Operating through a power electronic interface to the electric utility, this generator offers simplifications of the utility/generator interface over adjustable-speed wind conversion systems based on the induction generator. In addition, analyses performed using experimentally based data show that the VRG system is as much as 6% more efficient and up to 13% less expensive than a comparably rated induction generator system. These analyses are based on a piecewise linearization of the nonlinear VRG characteristics. At comparable power levels, the VRG can offer superior utility power-quality relative to the induction generator systems presently under development, and also offers a reduction in the operating, maintenance, and energy costs associated with advanced wind-energy systems.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":358822,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Power Electronics Specialist Conference - PESC '93","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126567719","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}

For saving energy and decreasing the test cost of UPS, the energy feedback method is proposed to apply the test of the online UPS. In this method, the utility system is used instead of a load. A voltage regulator is used in parallel operation to turn back the energy, which was dissipated in conventional method, to the utility system. The values of real power and reactive power in the output of UPS can be regulated in the proposed method to imitate various loads. From the experimental results, the efficiency of saving energy is more than 85% near half-load and will be higher while the load increases.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":358822,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Power Electronics Specialist Conference - PESC '93","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131286033","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}
