FYP2 Progress Evaluations

FYP2-1 Progress Evaluation

This page serves primarily as a record of the activities completed from Week 1 to Week 5 for FYP Evaluation 2.

Supervisor: Dr. Mohd Fadli bin Rahmat

 

Progress Introduction

The development and design of Single-Phase Double Conversion UPS System starts with designing each components in the system. The components included are:

  • Single-Phase Controlled Full Wave Rectifier
  • Buck Converter with PID controller
  • Full-Bridge Inverter with Battery

After each component designed completely, it will be combined to produce a full circuit of UPS system. It is decisive to note that all parameters used during the design process are based on references.

*Note: The simulation was run for 1 second where the first half cycle is ON state of the ideal switch and OFF state during the next half cycle.

 

 

Project Progress from Week 1 - 5

Single-Phase Controlled Full Wave Rectifier

  • It converts 240 VAC to 339 Vpeak.
  • The firing angle used is 85 degrees.

Buck Converter with PID Controller

  • Steps down DC input voltage to a lower DC output voltage.
  • Few assumptions were made:
    • Circuit is operating in steady state.
    • Inductor current is continuous.
    • Capacitor is very large and output voltage is held constant.
    • All components in the buck converter are in ideal condition.
  • The value of the inductor must be 10 times higher than the minimum inductance in order to reduce voltage and current ripple.
  • The output ripple factor must not exceed 0.5%.
  • Due to the output voltage of the buck converter is not achieved, thus a PID controller is used to adjust the output voltage to reduce the error.
  • The table on the left is the parameters of buck converter while on the right is parameters used for PID controller.
