Inhalt:
Power electronics, and particularly variable frequency drives, enable energy efficiency improvements. When the application requires power continuity, uninterruptible power supplies (typically, double-conversion topology) are deployed to ensure back-up power. Alternative, high-efficiency operation of such UPS systems unlocks further energy saving potential in industrial applications. This paper discusses the efficiency benefits while analyzing the power quality implications, assessing the compatibility with AC drives.
