“UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SYSTEM (UPS) TECHNOLOGY UPDATE” IEEE Industry Applications Society Atlanta Chapter January 18, 2011
UPS TECHNOLOGY UPDATE • TYPES OF UPS TECHNOLOGIES • STATIC, DOUBLE CONVERSION • STATIC, LINE INTERACTIVE • FLYWHEEL-BASED • ROTARY • OFF-LINE
UPS TECHNOLOGY UPDATE • STATIC, DOUBLE CONVERSION UPS TOPOLOGY • NORMAL POWER PATH: INPUT-RECTIFIER-DC BUS- INVERTER-OUTPUT • BYPASS POWER PATH: INPUT-STATIC SWITCH-OUTPUT • STORED POWER PATH: BATTERY/FLYWHEEL-DC BUS- INVERTER-OUTPUT • MAJOR MANUFACTURERS: GE, LIEBERT, MGE, MITSUBISHI, POWERWARE, TOSHIBA
UPS TECHNOLOGY UPDATE • STATIC, DOUBLE CONVERSION UPS CHANGES FOR INCREASED OPERATING EFFICIENCY • PWM IGBT RECTIFIERS INSTEAD OF SCRS • PWM IGBT INVERTERS • ELIMINATE INPUT AND OUTPUT TRANSFORMERS • USER-SELECTABLE OFFLINE OPERATION • USER-SELECTABLE CAPACITY CONTROL • DISTRIBUTED OR SYSTEM STATIC BYPASS SWITCH
UPS TECHNOLOGY UPDATE • STATIC, DOUBLE CONVERSION UPS OPERATING EFFICIENCY • TYPICALLY 91%-96% AT FULL LOAD AND 90%- 94% AT HALF LOAD • USER-SELECTABLE OFFLINE 98% • USER-SELECTABLE CAPACITY CONTROL CAN IMPROVE % AT LOW LOADS
UPS TECHNOLOGY UPDATE • THE FLEAS THAT COME WITH THE DOG, PART 1 • ELIMINATING TRANSFORMERS REDUCES DC BUS SAFETY • INDUSTRY TREND IS TO ELIMINATE TRANSFORMERS • ELIMINATING THE OUTPUT TRANSFORMER MAY ELIMINATE A WYE-CONNECTED OUTPUT • INDUSTRY TREND IS TO PROVIDE DISTRIBUTED STATIC BYPASS SWITCHES • IN USER-SELECTABLE OFFLINE MODE, SOME TRANSIENTS COULD GET THROUGH BEFORE THE UPS CAN REACT
UPS TECHNOLOGY UPDATE • STATIC, LINE-INTERACTIVE UPS TOPOLOGY • NORMAL POWER PATH: INPUT-MAIN STATIC SWITCH-OUTPUT • BYPASS POWER PATH: INPUT-ALTERNATE STATIC SWITCH-OUTPUT • STORED POWER PATH: BATTERY-DC BUS-INVERTER- OUTPUT • MANUFACTURER: APC (SYMMETRA MW)
UPS TECHNOLOGY UPDATE • STATIC, LINE INTERACTIVE UPS CHANGES FOR INCREASED OPERATING EFFICIENCY • IMPROVED FIRMWARE CONTROL • STATIC, LINE INTERACTIVE UPS OPERATING EFFICIENCY • TYPICALLY 97% AT FULL LOAD, 96% AT HALF LOAD AND 94% AT QUARTER LOAD
UPS TECHNOLOGY UPDATE • THE FLEAS THAT COME WITH THE DOG, PART 2 • REDUCED DC BUS SAFETY • SOME TRANSIENTS COULD GET THROUGH BEFORE THE UPS CAN REACT
UPS TECHNOLOGY UPDATE • FLYWHEEL-BASED UPS TOPOLOGY • NORMAL POWER PATH: INPUT-MAIN STATIC SWITCH-INDUCTOR-OUTPUT • BYPASS POWER PATH: INPUT-ALTERNATE STATIC SWITCH-OUTPUT • STORED POWER PATH: FLYWHEEL-CONVERTER- INDUCTOR-OUTPUT • MANUFACTURER: ACTIVE POWER
UPS TECHNOLOGY UPDATE • FLYWHEEL-BASED UPS CHANGES FOR INCREASED OPERATING EFFICIENCY • IMPROVED FIRMWARE CONTROL • STATIC, LINE INTERACTIVE UPS OPERATING EFFICIENCY • TYPICALLY 98% AT FULL LOAD AND 96% AT HALF LOAD
UPS TECHNOLOGY UPDATE • THE FLEAS THAT COME WITH THE DOG, PART 3 • LIMITED ENERGY STORAGE – 14 SECONDS • SYSTEM CAPACITY LIMITED BY THE CAPACITY OF ONE STANDBY GENERATOR
UPS TECHNOLOGY UPDATE • BASIC ROTARY UPS TOPOLOGY • NORMAL POWER PATH: INPUT-RECTIFIER- INVERTER-SYNCHRONOUS MACHINE-OUTPUT • BYPASS POWER PATH: INPUT-STATIC SWITCH - SYNCHRONOUS MACHINE –OUTPUT • STORED POWER PATH: BATTERY-DC BUS-INVERTER- SYNCHRONOUS MACHINE-OUTPUT • MANUFACTURER: PILLER
UPS TECHNOLOGY UPDATE • VARIATION ON ROTARY UPS TECHNOLOGY, AKA DYNAMIC ROTARY UPS (DRUPS) • NORMAL POWER PATH: INPUT-RECTIFIER-COUPLING CHOKE-OUTPUT • BYPASS POWER PATH: INPUT-BYPASS SWITCH - OUTPUT • STORED POWER PATH: ENGINE-COUPLING-ENERGY ACCUMULATOR-SYNCHRONOUS MACHINE- COUPLING CHOKE-OUTPUT • CAN OPERATE AT LOW VOLTAGE OR MEDIUM VOLTAGE • MANUFACTURERS: EURO-DIESEL, HITEC, PILLER
UPS TECHNOLOGY UPDATE • ROTARY UPS CHANGES FOR INCREASED OPERATING EFFICIENCY • IMPROVED FIRMWARE CONTROL • USER-SELECTABLE OFFLINE OPERATION • ROTARY UPS OPERATING EFFICIENCY • TYPICALLY 92% AT FULL LOAD AND 88% AT HALF LOAD (BASIC) • TYPICALLY 96% AT FULL LOAD AND 48% AT HALF LOAD (VARIATION)
UPS TECHNOLOGY UPDATE • THE FLEAS THAT COME WITH THE DOG, PART 4 • VARIATION IS THE MOST UPS CAPACITY/SQUARE FOOT OF BUILDING AREA • VARIATION HAS CONSTANT LOSSES, REGARDLESS OF LOAD • VARIATION CAN SUPPLY LARGE MEDIUM VOLTAGE SYSTEMS (VOLTAGE VARIES BY MANUFACTURER)
UPS TECHNOLOGY UPDATE • OFFLINE UPS TOPOLOGY • NORMAL POWER PATH: INPUT-STATIC SWITCH- OUTPUT • BYPASS POWER PATH: INPUT-BYPASS SWITCH- OUTPUT • STORED POWER PATH: BATTERY-INVERTER-STEPUP TRANSFORMER-OUTPUT • CAN OPERATE AT LOW OR MEDIUM VOLTAGE (UP TO 25KV) • MANUFACTURER: S&C
UPS TECHNOLOGY UPDATE • OFFLINE UPS CHANGES FOR INCREASED OPERATING EFFICIENCY • CAPACITY UP TO 16MW PER SYSTEM • IMPROVED FIRMWARE • CAN ACCOMMODATE WET CELL OR VRLA BATTERIES • CAN ACCOMMODATE UP TO 20 MINUTES BATTERY OPERATION AT FULL LOAD • CAN BE INSTALLED INDOORS OR OUT DOORS • CAN UTILIZE METAL-ENCLOSED OR METAL-CLAD SWITCHGEAR • DISTRIBUTED OR SYSTEM STATIC BYPASS SWITCH
OFFLINE UPS OPERATING EFFICIENCY • TYPICALLY 98%-99% AT ALL LOADS • THE FLEAS THAT COME WITH THE DOG, PART 5 • SOME TRANSIENTS COULD GET THROUGH BEFORE THE UPS CAN REACT
