A Single-Stage DC Uninterruptible Power Supply

Abstract:

A single-stage DC uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is proposed in this paper. Basically, the proposed converter is an integration result of a power factor correction circuit with a dc-to-dc converter to achieve simple hardware circuit, high efficiency, and low cost for extra UPS function. Under normal operation, a novel two-switch SEPIC converter operates as an ac to dc converter with sinusoidal input current, unity power factor, and low ripple dc output voltage, and as a battery charger if a battery is added. Since both the input boost supply and the output supply can be controlled independently, a fast transient response can be maintained at both the input for active current wave shaping and at the output for good output regulation. When the ac source is in an outage condition, the proposed converter functions as a dc-to-dc buck-boost converter; therefore, the desired dc output voltage can be provided. Finally, some experimental results are presented for verification.
