Analysis and implementation or a single-phase half-bridgc active power filter with the function of uninterruptible power supplies is presented. The system provides the combined functions or battery bank energy storagc, power-factor compcnsation, harmonics elimination and unintcrruption of the power supply. When the utility is in normal operation, thc proposed system will not only supply DC power for battery charging, but also function as an active power filter for improving the power factor and reducing the current harmonics on the utility side. If the utility power fails. the proposed system will fLmction a s an inverter immediately, to supply the battery power to the AC load. Analysis for the proposed system is given first, and a personal coinp~itcr is then used to implement digitised control of the proposed system to facilitate experimental evaluations for a 1 kVA prototype. The feasibility and niulti-fLiiictional results obtained indicate that the proposed system can be realiscd by using a digital Yignal processor as the core controller for cost reduction and reliability enhancement.List of symbols K,, -K,'4 = proportional controllers gain d,, L12 = switching functions of the insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) duty ratio of d , current of the AC-side inductor, L,, command current of i,, current of the battery-side inductor, L,)/ command current of Ql
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
