The paper also presents PV-UPS integrated system simulation developed using MATLAB/SIMULINK and hardware testing results for a 550kVA UPS interfaced with 30kW of solar panels. Proposed solution is modular, scalable, can work together with existing conventional UPSs on site or even upgrade them to interface PV power and still be as reliable as a conventional UPS. The proposed solution will allow utilities to do peak shaving and will help customers to reduce energy bills and extend battery time while providing same excellent power quality as conventional UPS. Unlike PV inverters which are forced to go offline during utility outage, proposed system shall continue to support critical loads during outages which is especially important for areas where utility interruptions are common.}, booktitle={2013 IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition}, publisher={IEEE}, author={Juvekar, S and Brandmeyer, J and Compton, B and Liu, Y and Bhattacharya, S}, year={2013}, month={Sep}, pages={4526–4531} } @inproceedings{juvekar_compton_bhattacharya_2012, title={A fast acting DC solid state fault isolation device (FID) with Si and SiC devices for MVDC distribution system}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-84870869018&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, DOI={10.1109/ecce.2012.6342566}, abstractNote={This paper presents a low voltage (400V) hardware prototype of a fast acting medium voltage DC circuit breaker. Simulation results obtained using PLECS software and hardware testing results are also presented for the same prototype. The prototype serves as a proof of concept showing implementation of firmware logic capable of interrupting DC fault current within 4.042 micro-seconds from the instant an overcurrent condition occurs. The authors propose that the same concept can be extended to medium voltage DC level and present a performance comparison of real 6.5kV silicon (Si) and 10kV silicon carbide (SiC) devices as solid state fault isolation devices (SSFID) in a medium voltage DC (MVDC) distribution system using SPICE simulations. The MVDC SSFID described in this paper finds an application in MVDC distribution system described by Next Generation Integrated Power System (NGIPS) roadmap [1] proposed by Electric Ship Office (ESO) of Office of Naval Research (ONR). Other applications include large scale grid connected solar and wind farm at MVDC level.}, booktitle={2012 IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition (ECCE)}, publisher={IEEE}, author={Juvekar, S and Compton, B and Bhattacharya, S}, year={2012}, month={Sep}, pages={2005–2010} } @inproceedings{mcbryde_kadavelugu_compton_bhattacharya_das_agarwal_2010, title={Performance Comparison of 1200V Silicon and SiC devices for UPS Application}, booktitle={IECON 2010 - 36TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE ON IEEE INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS SOCIETY}, publisher={IEEE}, author={McBryde, J and Kadavelugu, A and Compton, B and Bhattacharya, S and Das, M and Agarwal, A}, year={2010}, month={Jan} }
