Abstract :
This paper highlights the problems encountered when attempting to supply a high crest factor load from a UPS inverter. Inverter voltage control using an inner loop consisting of an average current mode controller and an outer loop is investigated. The choice of parameters, filter components and compensators, are discussed. Simulation results show the steady state and dynamic performance of the inverter. The addition of load current feedforward can cause the system to become unstable and is explained with the aid of simplified control models. The inverter under consideration is rated at 30 kVA with a PWM switching frequency of 15 kHz
