Integrated Power Converter Design to Meet Uninterruptible Supply and Short Surge Load Demands

Abstract This paper generalises the design of AC/DC switching power converters for applications with power factor correction, short surge load and uninterruptible power supply demands. The design focuses on achieving better utilisation of the DC bus voltage, fast transient response and provision of backup power. A number of new designs have been identified. Experimental results of a selected converter topology design are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed power supply design concept.
