Abstract: A control system and methods for a multilevel power converter are provided. The converter includes a rectifier coupled to a DC link having a midpoint coupled to electrical ground that divides the DC link into two halves. The control system is configured to generate a reference current command for controlling an output of the rectifier, the reference current command generated based on a difference between a desired and measured DC link voltage value. The system is also configured to determine a zero-sequence current component of input current supplied to the multilevel power converter, wherein the zero-sequence current component is associated with non-linearities in said multilevel power converter that cause ground current injection into the input current by the rectifier. The system is further configured to subtract the determined zero-sequence current component from the reference current command to reduce the ground current injected into the input current by the rectifier.

Abstract: An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system is provided. The UPS system includes a plurality of UPSs, a ring bus that electrically couples the UPSs together, a static switch coupled between an associated UPS of the UPSs and the ring bus, and a controller. The controller receives current data representative of an inverter current and a load current associated with the associated UPS. An output capacitor of the associated UPS is coupled to a node that conducts the inverter current and the load current. The controller further calculates a measured current based on the received current data, determines a voltage of said output capacitor, generates a derived current based on the determined voltage and a predetermined capacitance of said output capacitor, compares the measured current and the derived current to identify a fault location, and controls said static switch based on the identified fault location.

Abstract: An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is provided that includes a split direct current (DC) link having a first capacitor coupled between a positive DC link terminal and a first node, and a second capacitor coupled between the first node and a negative DC link terminal. The UPS also includes a rectifier coupled to an input of the split DC link and a controller coupled to the rectifier. The rectifier includes first, second, and third legs, wherein each leg is configured to convert a first alternating current (AC) voltage received from an AC source into a DC voltage to be provided to the split DC link, and a fourth leg configured to balance DC link voltages of the first and second capacitors. The controller is configured to maintain functionality of the rectifier during at least one of a partial utility power outage, a full utility outage, and a failure of at least one of the first, second, third, and fourth legs.
