Alimentação de cargas hospitalares críticas utilizando conversores estáticos

Abstract

This master thesis presents a study about feeding strategies of critical hospital loads through power static converters. The chosen hospital loads were the x ray equipment, the computed tomography and the magnetic resonance. The following forms of grid integration were compared: (i) structure with a three-phase rectifier connected to the network and three single-phase inverters connected to the loads or (ii) structure with three single-phase rectifiers connected to the network and three single-phase inverters connected to the loads. Due to patent issues, it was difficult to find the front-end circuits for power supplies of hospital loads. Therefore, the loads were implemented in PSIM software environment using measurement data obtained from literature. The control of three-phase and single-phase rectifiers was implemented using two cascaded control loops, with the inner loop controlling the current drawn from the network and the outer loop regulating the DC bus voltage. For the single-phase inverter, PI RES and PI SRF controls were implemented, targeting a comparison in terms of performance. In order to validate the mathematical model of the system and the control algorithm, simulations were performed using the PSIM software. The analysis showed that the simulation results were consistent with the mathematical modeling of the system.
