Abstract

A low-cost analog neural network control scheme for the inverters of Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) is proposed to achieve low total harmonics distortion (THD) output voltage and good dynamic response. Such a scheme is based on learning control law from representative example patterns obtained from two simulation models. One is a multiple-feedback-loop controller for linear loads, and the other is a novel idealized load-current-feedback controller specially designed for nonlinear loads. Example patterns for various loading conditions are used in the off-line training of a selected neural network. When the training is completed, the neural network is used to control the UPS inverter on-line. A simple analog hardware is built to implement the proposed neural network controller, an optimized PI controller is built as well. Experimental results show that the proposed neural-network-controlled inverter achieves lower THD and better dynamic responses than the PI-controlled inverter does.
