With the development of the distributed power system, the paralleled switching mode power supplies are becoming more and more important for large current load. However, paralleled system usually requires load sharing to equalize stresses, and while a lot of techniques have been used, there are many compromises between complexity and performance. This paper introduces the superiority of the power supply modules in parallel, discusses both the advantages and disadvantages of the usual current sharing methods. Finally, some suggestions to enhance redundancy and reliability for current sharing modules have been proposed.

Research about power supplies has been developed for various requirement. The power supply is used to supply electronic devices and laboratory-scale equipment, one of which is electrospinner. Electrospinner is an instrument used to make nanofibers consisting of several components, namely: power supply, high voltage, syringe pump, and collector drum. Electrospinner requires a stable supply of voltage so that the system can work well and requires a lot of voltage supply to supply components from the electrospinner. Arduino-based switching mode power supply (SMPS) is designed in this research. Arduino-based SMPS makes it possible to produce a stable supply with many outputs. Arduino as a PWM generator is used to control the power supply output voltage based on duty cycle. The results of the study addressed the duty cycle affecting the output of the power supply. The output voltage generated by the power supply can be set from 0-100 V with an accuracy of 98.19%, an error of 1.81% and a precision of 0.02% which is stated by the variation of the coefficient. The power supply produced also has an extra output voltage of 15 VCT and 15 V.

Parallel Configuration

In this paper, a fuzzy logic controller determines the turning ON or OFF of a power supply in a scalable n-parallel power supply configuration. Each power supply is modeled using differential equations and only differs in the values of its parasitic resistances. This is done in a MATLAB/Simulink environment. A fuzzy logic controller accepts the power supply usage and the power supply’s input voltage perturbation as its inputs while the probability of the corresponding power supply turning ON is its output. The power supplies are connected in parallel configuration and tested under various conditions of static and dynamic current sharing load, voltage input perturbations and on the total number of active power supplies in a given parallel configuration. The number of power supplies n in the parallel configuration is changed by adding or removing a power supply. This addition or removal is termed as scalability. As a result, the fuzzy logic controller was able to guarantee that all power supplies in the scalable n-parallel configuration have equal usage while sharing the load current equally under a regulated output voltage.

Abstract The hydrocarbon industry leans heavily upon advanced technologies to extract oil and gas from greater depths and in harsher environments. The challenge to electronics manufacturers and designers is to make complex electronics work at the high temperatures, vibration, and extreme pressures encountered in these locations. Among the more critical electronic systems required for high temperature down-hole operations is high efficiency switching mode power supplies (SMPS). The use of high frequency switching permits not only decreasing the size of inductors and capacitors in the circuit design, but also obtaining typical power efficiencies up to 90%. Generally a SMPS is composed of a controller, a converter and silicon carbide (SiC) power switches. High temperature down-hole gauges operate with low voltages either 3.3V or 5.0V; however, wire-line surface power equipment utilizes higher voltages above 250 V CD. Hence, SMPS requires efficient power dissipation circuits to reduce the DC input voltage. This work describes a high temperature SMPS that has a DC input range from 150 V CD to 300 V CD, ± 6 V CD output voltages and 12 W total power. The SMPS design uses a CA start up pulse provided by a programmable surface power supply via a mono-conductor wire-line cable; subsequently, the SMPS sustains its operation by powering itself using one of the voltage outputs. The obtained laboratory tests results of the down-hole SMPS, using changes in temperature from 25 °C – 200 °C, provide a firm basis for testing and evaluating the DC-CD power supply in high temperature gauges in the field.

The Difference

The correction power supplies are working in the Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) of NSRRC. They are required to output current at high quality and with high performance and that has long-term stability, with output current ripple required to be less than 10ppm. The TPS comprises more than 1200 units of independent power-supplymodules working together when the beam current is at3-GeV status. The power supplies are all working in current mode. We willplan to build a new measurement laboratory for conduction Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) to measure and to test the switching DC power bus thatfeeds the correction power supplies. We can get conduction electromagnetic interferencenoise from the measurement equipmentto measure the switching DC power bus is an AC-to-DC voltage bus source.With the LISN obtainingthe conduction noise, it is a high-frequency voltage noise generated by the switching mode of the power-supply conduction noise. The current signal passes an AC source-impedance stabilized network LISN, and a spectrum analyzer obtains the conduction noise. We use a noise separator to separate the common EMI noise and the difference-mode EMI noise for EMI filtering design. The measurement results are illustrated in this paper.

The number of people working from home (WFH) increased radically during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The purpose of this study was therefore to investigate people’s experiences of WFH during the pandemic and to identify the main factors of advantages and disadvantages of WFH. Data from 29 European countries on the experiences of knowledge workers (N = 5748) WFH during the early stages of lockdown (11 March to 8 May 2020) were collected. A factor analysis showed the overall distribution of people’s experiences and how the advantages and disadvantages of WFH during the early weeks of the pandemic can be grouped into six key factors. The results indicated that most people had a more positive rather than negative experience of WFH during lockdown. Three factors represent the main advantages of WFH: (i) work–life balance, (ii) improved work efficiency and (iii) greater work control. The main disadvantages were (iv) home office constraints, (v) work uncertainties and (vi) inadequate tools. Comparing gender, number of children at home, age and managers versus employees in relation to these factors provided insights into the differential impact of WFH on people’s lives. The factors help organisations understand where action is most needed to safeguard both performance and well-being. As the data were collected amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, we recommend further studies to validate the six factors and investigate their importance for well-being and performance in knowledge work.

Current Ripple

To balance the cost and volume when applying a low output current ripple, the power supply design should be able to eliminate the current ripple under any duty cycle in medium and high switching frequencies, and considerably reduce filter volume to improve power density. A stacked buck converter was eventually selected after reviewing the existing solutions and discussing their advantages and disadvantages. A stacked buck converter is used as a basis to propose the transient response and output current ripple elimination effect, boundary limit control method, and low output ripple dead time modulation method to make individual improvements. The principle, mathematical derivation, small-signal model, and compensator design method of the improvement method are presented in detail. Moreover, simulation results are used to mutually verify the correctness and effectiveness of the improvement method. A stacked buck converter with 330-V input, 50-V output, and 1-kW output power was implemented to verify the effect of the low output current ripple dead time modulation. Experimental results showed that the peak-to-peak value of the output current ripple was reduced from 2.09 A to 559 mA, and the RMS value was reduced from 551 mA to 91 mA, thereby effectively improving the output current ripple.

Distributed Power

In distribution networks with distributed power supplies, distributed power supplies can also be used as backup power sources to support the grid. If a distribution network contains multiple distributed power sources, the distribution network becomes a complex power grid with multiple power supplies. When a short-circuit fault occurs at a certain point on the power distribution network, the size, direction and duration of the short-circuit current are no longer single due to the existence of distributed power, and will vary with the location and capacity of the distributed power supply system. The change, in turn, affects the current in the grid, resulting in the generation and propagation of additional current. This power grid of power electronics will cause problems such as excessive standard mis-operation, abnormal heating of the converter and component burnout, and communication system failure. It is of great and practical significance to study the influence of distributed power in distributed power distribution networks.
