Abstract :
In this paper, a novel wireless load sharing controller for parallel connected online UPS inverters is proposed. As opposed to the conventional droop method, the proposed method achieves stable steady-state frequency and phase and an good dynamic response is obtained. A virtual output impedance is proposed in order to reduce its line impedance impact and to properly share nonlinear loads. Experimental results are presented from two 6-kVA UPS inverters controlled by DSP boards, showing the feasibility of the proposed approach
