Switched power converter with hold-up time and harmonics reduction

Universal switched power converter connected to a voltage source and, based on the level of the voltage received, this is applied to a first primary circuit comprising a first switching device (14-1) or to a second primary circuit comprising a second switching device (15-1). Control means (PWM) adapt the conducting period of the switching device connected to input terminals for regulating an output voltage and adapt the conducting period of the switching device not connected to the input terminals for demagnetising the core of a transformer (T) during the non-conducting period of the switching device connected to the input terminals.

Universal switched power converter with demagnetising

Electric energy conversion system (4) with heat recovery which converts a first voltage applied to input terminals (11, 12) from an energy supply network, to a second direct voltage which is applied to at least one electronic circuit (2), moreover comprising thermoelectric means (3), which transform the generated heat into electric energy during the normal operation of a first electronic device of the conversion system (4) and the electronic circuit (2), the thermoelectric means (3) generating at their output a third direct voltage, which is applied to the electronic circuit (2).

Energy conversion system with heat recovery

A power distribution system that provides electric power to an electrical device and to an energy storage device. The system includes a rectifier connected to an alternating current mains network to provide a rectified sinusoidal voltage via power leads connected to a charging device that provides DC voltage to the energy storage device. In addition, the electrical device(s) are connected to the power leads and include a plurality of converters, each one being connected to at least one load. Each converter is connected to the power leads in order to supply a DC voltage to its respective load.

Electric power distribution system with battery backup

AC/DC power converter device comprising a full-wave rectifier (R) the output of which is applied to a direct current module which has two outputs: the main output is connected to the load via a capacitor (C1) which transfers a first power level (P1), and the auxiliary output is formed by a capacitor (C2) and a direct current converter (DC) which stores a second power (P2) and transfers it to the load during the full cycle of the input power wave (PE). As a result the second power level (P2) is continuously topping up the first power level (P1).

AC/DC power converter device

A converter device that transforms an input voltage (VE) into several output voltages (V1, . . . ,VN) includes a transformer (T), a first switching control device (PWM) that generates a first switching control signal (Q1) to control the switching of a first switching element (M1) and thereby regulate a main output of the converter, and a second switching control device (SDCC) that generates a second switching control signal (Q2) which is a function of both the first switching control signal (Q1) and of a second output voltage (V2). This second switching control signal (Q2) controls the switching of a second switching device (SDC) in order to regulate a second output voltage of the converter device.
