Long delay uninterruptible power supply

What is an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system?

Power distortions such as power interruptions, voltage sags and swells, voltage spikes, and voltage harmonics can cause severe impacts on sensitive loads in the electric systems. Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems are used to provide uninterrupted, reliable, and high-quality power for these sensitive loads.

How many sampling periods of delay does an inverter have?

The output voltage of the inverter follows its reference with four sampling periods of delay. In practice, the dynamics of the current regulator is not a pure delay and shows some deviation from the deadbeat controller. Fig. 18.16.

What is an isolating transformer in a standby UPS system?

In some topologies of standby UPS systems, an isolating transformer is used at the output stage of the UPS. This topology is called ferroresonant standby UPS system. The transformer also acts as a low-pass filter that cancels out switching frequency from the output voltage of the DC/AC inverter.

What is a hybrid static/rotary UPS system?

Hybrid static/rotary UPS systems combine the main features of both static and rotary UPS systems. They have low output impedance, high reliability, excellent frequency stability, and low maintenance requirements . Typical configurations of hybrid static/rotary UPS are depicted in Fig. 18.11. They are usually used in high-power applications.
