It is a standby UPS whereas if the main power source fail to supply power to loads, a battery powered inverter turns on to continue supplying power. The battery is charged by the PV using solar charger and transfer switch controlled by smart relay. The UPS was tested to a load of 240 V, 20 W AC aquarium water pump. The test result shown that the UPS perform well, when the main power source fail, the battery could power inverter and the smart relay control the transfer switch, the load and battery current were 0.1 A and 1.56 A, respectively.","PeriodicalId":379868,"journal":{"name":"2010 4th International Power Engineering and Optimization Conference (PEOCO)","volume":"230 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116229405","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}

In-phase method with continues two vector control algorithm is used to detect and compensate ΔV and ΔQ variables during voltage sag and voltage compensation. When there is any phase angle or phase jump in supply voltage the reference voltage is adjusted to track the phase angle of the supply voltage. A phase locked loop is used to keep the load voltage synchronized continuously and tracks the source voltage. It is shown that the proposed DVR controller improves the system power quality.
