Abstract: A method of regulating frequency of plurality of uninterruptible power supply units and corresponding uninterruptible power supply (UPS) unit. The method includes broadcasting, to a controller of a UPS unit, an expected synchronization direction to other UPS units via a communication link, the expected synchronization direction being determined based on a frequency of the corresponding UPS units and a frequency of a grid. The method includes obtaining the expected synchronization directions of other UPS units via the communication link; determining a major synchronization direction based on the expected synchronization direction of each UPS unit; and regulating a frequency of each UPS unit based on the major synchronization direction.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an uninterruptible power supply. The uninterruptible power supply comprises a switch, a power management module, an inverter and a controller. The switch is arranged between a load and a power source, the power source configured to supply power to the load. The power management module comprises a main energy storage and configured to reduce a ripple experienced by the main energy storage. The inverter is arranged between and coupled to the power management module and the load. The controller is coupled to the power management module, the inverter and the switch, the controller configured to control the inverter to regulate output voltage magnitude and frequency by regulating the power exchange between the inverter and the power source. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the overcharging of the energy storage during sudden load rejections or utility phase jumps can be avoided.

Abstract: A method of controlling a power converter, connected to an electrical grid, to mimic a synchronous generator, by: determining a frequency control error with respect to a setpoint and actual frequency of the grid, determining an input power to an inertia model of a synchronous generator based on the frequency control error, regulating by means of the input power a rotational frequency of the inertia model, determining a voltage control error with respect to a setpoint and actual voltage, determining an exciter parameter of a synchronous generator model based on the voltage control error, regulating by means of the exciter parameter an output voltage of the synchronous generator model, adjusting the rotational frequency or a phase angle obtained from the rotational frequency, and the output voltage based on a virtual impedance of a stator of the synchronous generator model, and controlling the power converter based on the adjusted rotational frequency or the adjusted phase angle and on the adjusted output voltage.
