Abstract
A method reducing transient overshoot of an output signal of an uninterruptable power supply, the uniterruptable power supply including: (a) an inverter having at least one power switch; (b) a digital controller that generates a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal for controlling the power switch, the PWM signal having a fixed period T and (c) an analog to digital signal corresponding to the sampled output signal, the method comprising the steps of (1) operating the A/D converter to sample the output signal at a first time to generate a first sampled output value; (2) operating the A/D converter to sample the output signal at a second time to generate a second sampled output value, the period between the second time and the first time being equal to T ; (3) generating a control input value that is equal to 1.5 times the second sampled output value minus 0.5 times the first sampled output value; (4) computing a PWM signal at a third time, the PWM pulse having a duration equal to the PWM pulse duration, the period between the second time and the third time being equal to 0.5 T .
