Thus, inductors can be reduced in size which is beneficial in regard to power density and weight of the converter. As a drawback, high frequency inductors suffer from considerably large winding losses caused by skin and proximity effects. Litz wire is a possible solution but it results in a poor copper fill factor. Therefore, this paper discusses a mixed winding consisting of litz and solid wires in parallel. By means of calorimetric measurement it was shown that the winding losses can be reduced up to 9.8% with this solution.","PeriodicalId":366207,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Telecommunications Energy Conference (INTELEC)","volume":"5 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127612037","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}

However, LED lighting equipment is known to generate harmful levels of electromagnetic transient disturbances (in particular, transient currents in power lines) to ICT equipment [1]. CISPR 15 [2], the international standard for electromagnetic disturbances from lighting equipment, defines a measurement method and limit level for continuous electromagnetic disturbance, but does not specify a measurement method or limit level for transient currents. We propose a measurement method to evaluate the peak level of transient currents from LED lighting equipment in a representative actual-use environment. This method, using a phase control switch, a power network impedance (PNI) compensation circuit, a PNI artificial circuit, a current probe and an oscilloscope, can avoid dependence on test sites, and enable highly reproducible measurements. We optimized the parameters of the PNI compensation circuit by circuit simulation, and the PNI artificial circuit by measurement. It was found that the proposed method enables highly reproducible measurement of transient currents from LED lighting equipment, thus avoiding dependence on test sites.","PeriodicalId":366207,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Telecommunications Energy Conference (INTELEC)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125936491","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 paper presents a rational methodology to define and analyse each modular UPS system, and to identify its mode of operation and possible failure conditions. This methodology is then applied to the most common modular UPS architectures present on the market, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each, and making the differentiation between ordinary, good and excellent modular UPS system designs possible.","PeriodicalId":366207,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Telecommunications Energy Conference (INTELEC)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123784200","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}

As the different electrical characteristic of battery among different categories, even battery banks of same category and same manufacture but different serving age, they can't be directly used in parallel connection, or it will bring disastrous consequences, including fewer discharge capacity, shorter battery life. This rule leads to trouble for existing lead-acid battery utilization during telecom base station expansion. Operators should pay much more money for the new larger capacity of lead-acid battery, then existing battery is replaced and abandoned, it's not environmental too. This paper introduces an innovative hybrid battery management system to solve the issue that old battery banks can't be reused with new battery banks during site expansion. It can help operators to realize low TCO, high reliability of power supply, and best cost performance. The hybrid battery management system supports managing the new and old two categories of lead-acid battery banks with same or different rated capacity. Especially, it also supports the hybrid application of lithium battery and lead-acid battery though upgrading the software.","PeriodicalId":366207,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Telecommunications Energy Conference (INTELEC)","volume":"153 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127421144","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}

Due to temporary occurrence of reversed power flow during low load conditions in distribution grids, the grid voltage may reach or may exceed voltage limits. Data centers and telecom facilities, which are equipped with batteries, generation units and power electronic grid interfaces are highly appropriate to offer services to the grid operators to solve this problem. One possible option to keep grid voltages within the limits is the transmission of reactive power over critical grid lines, generated at the connection points of renewable sources. Additionally, reactive power sources need to be provided at transformer stations to avoid additional reactive power flow towards the MV grid. The paper shows results of an ongoing research project, where four partners cooperate to demonstrate the effects and the automatic voltage optimization in a real existing low voltage grid. Research partners are Technische Hochschule Esslingen, KBR Kompensationsanlagenbau GmbH, Schwabach and VWEW-Energie, Kaufbeuren.

From a Telcos perspective, power topologies using HVDC become viable when the total cost of ownership is less than persevering with −48VDC architecture and accepted the expected rate of outages (and consequential financial impact) that comes with it.
