This uninterruptible power supply system is further bypassed when one terminal is connected to the generator and becomes non-conductive in the inverter power supply mode in which AC power is supplied from a plurality of inverters to the load, and AC power is supplied from the generator to the load. The first switch that conducts in the power supply mode, one terminal receives the output voltage of the inverter at the final stage, the other terminal is connected to the other terminal of the first switch, and conducts in the inverter power supply mode, and bypass power supply mode A second switch that is sometimes non-conductive, and a third terminal that is connected to the other terminal of the first and second switches, one terminal is connected to a load, is normally conductive, and is non-conductive during maintenance. If the AC power is normally supplied from a plurality of inverters connected to the other terminal of the first switch and the other terminal of the first and second switches, When the supplied AC power is converted into the rotational energy of the first flywheel device and the supply of AC power from a plurality of inverters is stopped, the rotational energy stored in the first flywheel device is converted into AC power. And a first energy storage device that supplies the AC power to the generator via the first switch and starts it, and applies it to the load via the third switch. The started generator generates AC power, supplies the AC power to the first energy storage device via the first switch, and supplies it to the load via the first and third switches.

The phases of the U-phase AC voltages VU1 to VU3, the V-phase AC voltages VV1 to VV3, and the W-phase AC voltages VW1 to VW3 are shifted by 120 degrees.

  FIG. 3 is a circuit block diagram showing the configuration of the high-voltage uninterruptible power supply 2. In FIG. 3, the high voltage uninterruptible power supply 2 includes a control circuit 15, nine uninterruptible power supplies UU1 to UU3, UV1 to UV3, UW1 to UW3, and three output terminals TU, TV, and TW. The control circuit 15 controls the entire high voltage uninterruptible power supply 2. For example, the control circuit 15 controls the uninterruptible power supply devices UU1 to UU3, UV1 to UV3, UW1 to UW3 so that the output voltages VU, VV, and VW of the high-voltage uninterruptible power supply device 2 become target voltages.

  Input terminals Ta and Tb of uninterruptible power supply devices UU1 to UU3, UV1 to UV3, UW1 to UW3 are connected to one terminal and the other terminal of secondary windings CU1 to CU3, CV1 to CV3 and CW1 to CW3, respectively. Uninterruptible power supply units UU1 to UU3 convert AC power received from secondary windings CU1 to CU3, respectively, into DC power, and reconvert the DC power into commercial frequency AC power.

  Between the output terminals Tc and Td of the uninterruptible power supply devices UU1 to UU3, AC voltages VU11 to VU13 having a constant voltage (635 V) are output at commercial frequencies, respectively. The output terminal Td of the uninterruptible power supply UU1 is connected to the neutral point NP, and the output terminals Tc of the uninterruptible power supply UU1 and UU2 are connected to the output terminals Td of the uninterruptible power supply UU2 and UU3, respectively.

The uninterruptible power supply UU2 adds its own output voltage VU12 to the output voltage VU11 of the previous uninterruptible power supply UU1, and outputs it to the next stage. The uninterruptible power supply UU3 adds its own output voltage VU13 to the output voltage VU11 + VU12 of the previous uninterruptible power supply UU2, and outputs it to the output terminal TU. Eventually, the total AC voltage VU = VU11 + VU12 + VU13 of the output voltages VU11 to VU13 of the uninterruptible power supply devices UU1 to UU3 is output to the output terminal TU. The AC voltage VU, that is, the U-phase voltage VU is 635 × 3 = 1905V.

Between the output terminals Tc and Td of the uninterruptible power supply devices UV1 to UV3, constant voltages (635V) AC voltages VV11 to VV13 are output at commercial frequencies, respectively. The output terminal Td of the uninterruptible power supply UV1 is connected to the neutral point NP, and the output terminals Tc of the uninterruptible power supply UV1 and UV2 are connected to the output terminals Td of the uninterruptible power supply UV2 and UV3, respectively. The UV3 output terminal Tc is connected to the output terminal TV.

  That is, uninterruptible power supply devices UV1 to UV3 are connected in series between output terminal TV and neutral point NP. The uninterruptible power supply UV2 adds its own output voltage VV12 to the output voltage VV11 of the previous uninterruptible power supply UV1 and outputs it to the next stage. The uninterruptible power supply UV3 adds its own output voltage VV13 to the output voltage VV11 + VV12 of the previous uninterruptible power supply UV2 and outputs it to the output terminal TV. Eventually, the AC voltage VV = VV11 + VV12 + VV13, which is the sum of the output voltages VV11 to VV13 of the uninterruptible power supply devices UV1 to UV3, is output to the output terminal TV. The AC voltage VV, that is, the V-phase voltage VV is 635 × 3 = 1905V.

  Similarly, uninterruptible power supply devices UW1 to UW3 convert AC power received from secondary windings CW1 to CW3 to DC power, respectively, and reconvert the DC power to AC power of commercial frequency. Between the output terminals Tc and Td of the uninterruptible power supply devices UW1 to UW3, AC voltages VW11 to VW13 having a constant voltage (635 V) are output at commercial frequencies, respectively. The output terminal Td of the uninterruptible power supply UW1 is connected to the neutral point NP, and the output terminals Tc of the uninterruptible power supply UW1 and UW2 are connected to the output terminals Td of the uninterruptible power supply UW2 and UW3, respectively. The output terminal Tc of UW3 is connected to the output terminal TW.

  That is, uninterruptible power supply devices UW1 to UW3 are connected in series between output terminal TW and neutral point NP. The uninterruptible power supply UW2 adds its own output voltage VW12 to the output voltage VW11 of the previous uninterruptible power supply UW1, and outputs it to the next stage. The uninterruptible power supply UW3 adds its own output voltage VW13 to the output voltage VW11 + VW12 of the previous uninterruptible power supply UW2, and outputs it to the output terminal TW. Eventually, the total AC voltage VW = VW11 + VW12 + VW13 of the output voltages VW11 to VW13 of the uninterruptible power supply devices UW1 to UW3 is output to the output terminal TW. The AC voltage VW, that is, the W-phase voltage VW is 635 × 3 = 1905V.

  FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram showing a configuration of uninterruptible power supply UU1. In FIG. 4, uninterruptible power supply UU1 includes input terminals Ta and Tb, capacitors C1 to C4, reactors L1 and L2, transistors Q1 to Q8, Q11 to Q18, diodes D1 to D8, D11 to D18, D21 to D24, and D31. To D34, DC positive bus PL, DC neutral point bus NPL, DC negative bus NL, and output terminals Tc and Td.

  Transistors Q1, Q5, Q7, and Q3 are connected in series between buses PL and NL, and transistors Q2, Q6, Q8, and Q4 are connected in series between buses PL and NL. Diodes D1-D8 are connected in antiparallel to transistors Q1-Q8, respectively. The anodes of diodes D21 and D22 are both connected to DC neutral point bus NPL, and their cathodes are connected to the collectors of transistors Q5 and Q6, respectively. The anodes of diodes D23 and D24 are connected to the emitters of transistors Q7 and Q8, respectively, and the cathodes thereof are both connected to DC neutral point bus NPL.

  Transistors Q1-Q8 and diodes D1-D8, D21-D24 constitute a three-level converter 21. Capacitor C3 is connected between DC positive bus PL and DC neutral point bus NPL, and capacitor C4 is connected between DC neutral point bus NPL and DC negative bus NL. Capacitors C3 and C4 smooth and stabilize the DC voltage generated by converter 21.

  Reactor L1 is connected between input terminal Ta and the emitter of transistor Q5. One electrode of the capacitor C1 is connected to the input terminal Ta, and the other electrode is connected to the input terminal Tb and the emitter of the transistor Q6. Reactor L1 and capacitor C1 constitute input filter 20.

  The input filter 20 is a low-pass filter, and allows the commercial frequency AC voltage VU1 to pass through the converter 21 and prohibits the switching frequency signal generated by the converter 21 from passing to the input terminals Ta and Tb.

  Converter 21 converts AC power supplied from the corresponding secondary winding via input filter 20 to DC power. In other words, the converter 21 converts the AC voltage supplied from the corresponding secondary winding through the input filter 20 into a positive voltage, a neutral point voltage, and a negative voltage to convert the DC positive bus PL and the DC neutrality, respectively. This is applied to the point bus NLP and the DC negative bus NL.

  For example, when the voltage at the input terminal Ta is higher than the voltage at the input terminal Tb, the transistors Q5, Q1, and Q6 among the transistors Q1 to Q8 are turned on. As a result, a current flows from the input terminal Ta to the input terminal Tb through the reactor L1, the transistors Q5 and Q1, the capacitor C3, the diode D22, and the transistor Q6, and the capacitor C3 is charged. Also, transistors Q7, Q4, Q8 among transistors Q1-Q8 are turned on. As a result, a current flows from the input terminal Ta to the input terminal Tb through the reactor L1, the transistor Q7, the diode D23, the capacitor C4, and the transistors Q4 and Q8, and the capacitor C4 is charged.

  When the voltage at the input terminal Ta is lower than the voltage at the input terminal Tb, the transistors Q6, Q2, and Q5 among the transistors Q1 to Q8 are turned on. Thereby, a current flows from the input terminal Tb to the input terminal Ta through the transistors Q6 and Q2, the capacitor C3, the diode D21, the transistor Q5, and the reactor L1, and the capacitor C3 is charged. Also, transistors Q8, Q3, Q7 of transistors Q1-Q8 are turned on. As a result, a current flows from the input terminal Tb to the input terminal Ta through the transistor Q8, the diode D24, the capacitor C4, the transistors Q3 and Q7, and the reactor L1, and the capacitor C4 is charged.

  When the voltages at the input terminals Ta and Tb are substantially equal, only the transistors Q5 and Q8 or the transistors Q6 and Q7 are turned on. When only the transistors Q5 and Q8 are turned on, a current flows from the input terminal Tb to the input terminal Ta via the transistor Q8, the diodes D24 and D21, the transistor Q5, and the reactor L1. When only the transistors Q6 and Q7 are turned on, a current flows from the input terminal Ta to the input terminal Tb via the reactor L1, the transistor Q7, the diodes D23 and D22, and the transistor Q6. In this way, DC positive bus PL, DC neutral point bus NPL, and DC negative bus NL are set to a positive voltage, a neutral point voltage, and a negative voltage, respectively.

  Transistors Q11, Q15, Q17, Q13 are connected in series between buses PL, NL, and transistors Q12, Q16, Q18, Q14 are connected in series between buses PL, NL. Diodes D11-D18 are connected in antiparallel to transistors Q11-Q18, respectively. The anodes of diodes D31 and D32 are both connected to DC neutral point bus NPL, and their cathodes are connected to the collectors of transistors Q15 and Q16, respectively. The anodes of diodes D33 and D34 are connected to the emitters of transistors Q17 and Q18, respectively, and the cathodes thereof are both connected to DC neutral point bus NPL.

  Transistors Q11 to Q18 and diodes D11 to D18, D31 to D34 constitute a three-level inverter 22. Reactor L2 is connected between the emitter of transistor Q15 and output terminal Tc. One electrode of the capacitor C2 is connected to the output terminal Tc, and the other electrode is connected to the emitter of the transistor Q16 and the output terminal Td. Reactor L2 and capacitor C2 constitute output filter 23.

  Inverter 22 converts the DC power generated by converter 21 into AC power. In other words, inverter 22 has positive voltage, 0 V, and negative voltage based on the positive voltage, neutral point voltage, and negative voltage received from DC positive bus PL, DC neutral point bus NPL, and DC negative bus NL. 3 levels of alternating voltage are generated.

  For example, transistors Q11, Q15, Q18 among transistors Q11-Q18 are turned on. Thus, DC positive bus PL is connected to output terminal Tc via transistors Q11 and Q15 and reactor L2, and output terminal Td is connected to DC neutral point bus NPL via transistor Q18 and diode D34. A difference voltage (that is, a positive voltage) between the voltage and the neutral point voltage is supplied to the output filter 23.

  Further, transistors Q15, Q18, Q14 of transistors Q11-Q18 are turned on. Thereby, DC neutral point bus NPL is connected to output terminal Tc via diode D31, transistor Q15, and reactor L2, and output terminal Td is connected to DC negative bus NL via transistors Q18 and Q14. A differential voltage (that is, a positive voltage) between the neutral point voltage and the negative voltage is supplied to the output filter 23.

  In addition, transistors Q12, Q16, Q17 of transistors Q11-Q18 are turned on. Thereby, DC positive bus PL is connected to output terminal Td via transistors Q12 and Q16, and output terminal Tc is connected to DC neutral point bus NPL via reactor L2, transistor Q17, and diode D17. A voltage (that is, a negative voltage) between the neutral point voltage and the positive voltage is supplied to the output filter 23.

  Further, transistors Q16, Q17, Q13 among transistors Q11-Q18 are turned on. Thereby, DC neutral point bus NPL is supplied to output terminal Td via diode D32 and transistor Q16, and output terminal Tc is connected to DC negative bus NL via reactor L2 and transistors Q17 and Q13, and negative. A difference voltage (that is, a negative voltage) between the voltage and the neutral point voltage is supplied to the output filter 23.

  Further, only the transistors Q15 and Q18 or the transistors Q16 and Q17 are turned on. When only transistors Q15 and Q18 are turned on, DC neutral point bus NPL is connected to output terminal Tc via diode D31, transistor Q15, and reactor L2, and output terminal Td is connected to transistor Q18 and diode D34. To the DC neutral point bus NPL, and the voltage of the difference between the neutral point voltage and the neutral point voltage (that is, 0 V) is applied to the output filter 23.

  When only transistors Q16 and Q17 are turned on, DC neutral point bus NPL is connected to output terminal Td via diode D32 and transistor Q16, and output terminal Tc is connected to reactor L2, transistor Q17 and diode D33. Is connected to the DC neutral point bus NPL, and a voltage (that is, 0 V) of the difference between the neutral point voltage and the neutral point voltage is applied to the output filter 23.

  Therefore, by controlling the transistors Q11 to Q18, a desired voltage of positive voltage, 0V, and negative voltage can be supplied between the output terminals Tc and Td, and the positive voltage, 0V, and negative voltage 3 can be supplied. An alternating voltage that varies with the level can be generated.

  The output filter 23 is a low-pass filter, and passes an AC voltage having a commercial frequency to the output terminals Tc and Td, and prohibits a signal having a switching frequency generated by the inverter 22 from passing to the output terminals Tc and Td. In other words, the output filter 23 converts the waveform of the three-level AC voltage generated by the inverter 22 into a sine wave, and outputs the AC voltage of the sine wave between the output terminals Tc and Td.

  Each of the other uninterruptible power supply devices UU2, UU3, UV1 to UV3, UW1 to UW3 is the same as uninterruptible power supply device UU1, and therefore description thereof will not be repeated.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the switches S2 and S3 are connected in series between the output terminal (for example, TU) of the high-voltage uninterruptible power supply 2 and the output terminal T3. The switch S2 (second switch) is, for example, a contactor, and is turned on in the inverter power supply mode for supplying AC power from the inverter 22 to the load 12, and supplies AC power to the load 12 from the generator 11 via the bypass terminal T2. It is turned off during bypass power supply mode.

  Switch S3 (third switch) is, for example, a breaker, and is normally turned on and turned off during maintenance of the uninterruptible power supply system. One terminal of the switch S5 is connected to the bypass terminal T2, and the other terminal is connected to the node N1 between the switches S2 and S3 via the switch S6. The switch S5 is a breaker, for example, and is normally turned on and turned off during maintenance. Switch S6 (first switch) is, for example, a contactor, and is turned on in the bypass power supply mode and turned off in the inverter power supply mode. The switch S7 is a breaker, for example, and is connected between the bypass terminal T2 and the output terminal T3, normally turned off, and turned on during maintenance.

  In general, a bypass AC power supply is connected to the bypass terminal T2, and an uninterruptible switch is connected in parallel to the switch S6. The uninterruptible switch is turned off when the high-voltage uninterruptible power supply 2 is normal, and is turned on instantaneously when the high-voltage uninterruptible power supply 2 fails, and supplies AC power from the bypass AC power source to the load 12. Is. However, in the first embodiment, since the energy storage device 3 is provided, an uninterruptible switch is not necessary.

  The energy storage device 3 includes a transformer 5, a power converter 6, a motor 7, and a flywheel device 8. When the AC power is normally supplied from the high voltage uninterruptible power supply 2 or the generator 11, the energy storage device 3 converts the AC power supplied from the high voltage uninterruptible power supply 2 or the generator 11 to the flywheel device 8. When the supply of AC power from the high-voltage uninterruptible power supply 2 and the generator 11 is stopped, the rotational energy stored in the flywheel device 8 is converted to AC power, and the AC power Is applied to the load 12 via the switches S4 and S3.

  That is, the switch S4 is, for example, a breaker, and is connected between the node N1 and the primary winding of the transformer 5, normally turned on, and turned off during maintenance. The secondary winding of the transformer 5 is connected to the power converter 6. When the AC power is normally supplied from the high voltage uninterruptible power supply 2 or the generator 11, the transformer 5 supplies the AC power from the high voltage uninterruptible power supply 2 or the generator 11 to the power converter 6. In the event of a power failure when the supply of AC power from the high-voltage uninterruptible power supply 2 and the generator 11 is stopped, AC power supplied from the power converter 6 is supplied to the load 12 via the output terminal T3.

  FIG. 5 is a circuit diagram showing a configuration of the power converter 6 and is a diagram to be compared with FIG. As can be seen from FIG. 5, power converter 6 has the same configuration as uninterruptible power supply UU1. Reactor L1 and capacitor C1 constitute filter 30. Transistors Q1-Q8 and diodes D1-D8, D21-D24 constitute converter 31. Transistors Q11 to Q18 and diodes D11 to D18, D31 to D34 constitute a converter 32. Reactor L2 and capacitor C2 constitute filter 33.

  When AC power is normally supplied from high voltage uninterruptible power supply 2 or generator 11, converter 31 is supplied from high voltage uninterruptible power supply 2 or generator 11 via transformer 5 and filter 30. AC power is converted to DC power. In other words, the converter 31 converts the AC voltage supplied from the high-voltage uninterruptible power supply 2 or the generator 11 through the transformer 5 and the filter 30 into a positive voltage, a neutral point voltage, and a negative voltage, and then converts each DC voltage. This is applied to positive bus PL, DC neutral point bus NLP, and DC negative bus NL. At this time, the filter 30 prevents the noise of the switching frequency generated in the converter 31 from leaking to the transformer 5 side.

  Converter 32 operates as an inverter and converts the DC power generated by converter 31 into AC power. In other words, converter 32 has positive voltage, 0 V, and negative voltage based on the positive voltage, neutral point voltage, and negative voltage received from DC positive bus PL, DC neutral point bus NPL, and DC negative bus NL. 3 levels of alternating voltage are generated. At this time, the filter 33 converts the waveform of the three-level AC voltage generated by the converter 32 into a sine wave, and outputs the AC voltage of the sine wave between the output terminals Tc and Td.

  When AC power is not normally supplied from high-voltage uninterruptible power supply 2 and generator 11, converter 32 converts AC power supplied from motor 7 into DC power. In other words, the converter 32 converts the AC voltage supplied from the motor 7 into a positive voltage, a neutral point voltage, and a negative voltage to the DC positive bus PL, the DC neutral point bus NLP, and the DC negative bus NL, respectively. give. At this time, the filter 33 prevents the noise of the switching frequency generated in the converter 32 from leaking to the motor 7 side.

  Converter 31 operates as an inverter and converts the DC power generated by converter 32 into AC power. In other words, converter 31 has positive voltage, 0 V, and negative voltage based on the positive voltage, neutral point voltage, and negative voltage received from DC positive bus PL, DC neutral point bus NPL, and DC negative bus NL. 3 levels of alternating voltage are generated. At this time, the filter 30 converts the waveform of the three-level AC voltage generated by the converter 31 into a sine wave, and outputs the AC voltage of the sine wave between the input terminals Ta and Tb.

  When the AC power is normally supplied from the high-voltage uninterruptible power supply 2 or the generator 11, the motor 7 passes through the transformer 5 and the power converter 6 from the high-voltage uninterruptible power supply 2 or the generator 11. Driven by the supplied AC power, the flywheel device 8 is rotationally driven to cause the flywheel device 8 to store rotational energy.

  In addition, when the supply of AC power from the high-voltage uninterruptible power supply 2 or the generator 11 is not normal, the motor 7 is rotationally driven by the flywheel device 8 that continues to rotate by rotational energy to generate AC power. The power is supplied to the power converter 6.

  The flywheel device 8 accumulates rotational energy by being rotationally driven by the motor 7, and releases rotational energy by rotationally driving the motor 7.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the energy storage device 4 is connected to the input terminal T1 via the switch S8. The energy storage device 4 has the same configuration as the energy storage device 3 and includes a transformer 5, a power converter 6, a motor 7, and a flywheel device 8. The switch S4 is a breaker, for example, and is connected between the input terminal T1 and the primary winding of the transformer 5, and is normally turned on and turned off during maintenance.

  The energy storage device 4 converts AC power supplied from the commercial AC power supply 10 into rotational energy of the flywheel device 8 during normal times when AC power is normally supplied from the commercial AC power supply 10. In the event of a power failure when the supply of AC power from is stopped, the rotational energy stored in the flywheel device 8 is converted to AC power, and the AC power is switched to the primary winding of the input transformer 1 via the switches S8 and S1. Give to the line.

  Next, the operation of this uninterruptible power supply system will be described. However, for simplification of description, only the operation of the portion related to the R phase and the U phase will be described. Normally, the switches S1 to S5 and S8 are turned on and the switches S6 and S7 are turned off. An AC voltage VR is supplied from the commercial AC power supply 10 to the primary winding CR of the input transformer 1 via the input terminal T1 and the switch S1. As a result, AC voltages VU1 to VU3 are output to the secondary windings CU1 to CU3 of the input transformer 1, respectively.

  Uninterruptible power supply devices UU1 to UU3 are driven by AC voltages VU1 to VU3, respectively, and output AC voltages VU11 to VU13 having sinusoidal waveforms, respectively. The AC voltages VU11 to VU13 are added to become a high-voltage AC voltage VU. The high-voltage AC voltage VU is supplied to the load 12 via the switches S2 and S3 and the output terminal T3. This state is called an inverter power supply mode because AC power is supplied from the inverter 22 of the uninterruptible power supply devices UU1 to UU3 to the load 12.

  At this time, AC power is supplied to the energy storage device 3 from the uninterruptible power supply devices UU1 to UU3 via the switches S2 and S4, and the flywheel device 8 is rotationally driven by the motor 7 to store rotational energy. Further, AC power is supplied from the commercial AC power supply 10 to the energy storage device 4 via the switch S4, and the flywheel device 8 is rotationally driven by the motor 7 to store rotational energy.

  When the output voltage of the commercial AC power supply 10 drops momentarily in the inverter power supply mode, that is, when a so-called instantaneous drop occurs, the positive voltage, the neutral point voltage, and the negative voltage are maintained by the capacitors C3 and C4. The AC voltage thus supplied is supplied to the load 12, and the load 12 is stably operated.

  Further, when the supply of AC power from the commercial AC power supply 10 is stopped in the inverter power supply mode (that is, when a power failure occurs), the rotational energy of the flywheel device 8 in the energy storage device 4 is changed by the motor 7. Converted to electric power. The AC power generated by the motor 7 is converted by the power converter 6 and the transformer 5 into AC power having the same voltage and frequency as the commercial AC power, and the primary winding of the input transformer 1 via the switches S8 and S1. An alternating voltage VR is supplied to CR. Thereby, the high voltage AC voltage VU is supplied from the high voltage uninterruptible power supply 2 to the load 12 via the switches S2 and S3 and the output terminal T3, and the operation of the load 12 is continued.

  In the inverter power supply mode, when the high voltage uninterruptible power supply 2 fails, the rotational energy of the flywheel device 8 is converted into AC power by the motor 7 in the energy storage device 3. The AC power generated by the motor 7 is converted into AC power having the same voltage and frequency as the commercial AC power by the power converter 6 and the transformer 5, and supplied to the load 12 via the switches S4 and S3 and the output terminal T3. The operation of the load 12 is continued. Therefore, since there is no need to turn on the uninterruptible switch and perform bypass power supply as in the prior art, no uninterruptible switch is provided.

  Further, the switch S6 is turned on, the switches S1 and S2 are turned off, and the operation of the converter 21 and the inverter 22 is stopped. Thereby, AC power is supplied from the energy storage device 3 to the generator 11 via the switches S4, S6, S5 and the bypass terminal T2, and the generator 11 is started. The started generator 11 supplies AC power to the load 12 via the bypass terminal T2, the switches S5, S6, S3, and the output terminal T3, and continues the operation of the load 12. This state is called bypass power supply mode because AC power is supplied from the generator 11 to the load 12.

  At this time, AC power is supplied from the generator 11 to the energy storage device 3 via the bypass terminal T2 and the switches S5, S6, S4, and the flywheel device 8 is rotationally driven by the motor 7 to store rotational energy. .

  In the bypass power supply mode, when the supply of AC power from the generator 11 is stopped or the output voltage of the generator 11 is momentarily reduced, the rotational energy of the flywheel device 8 is reduced by the motor 7 in the energy storage device 3. Converted to AC power. The AC power generated by the motor 7 is converted into AC power having the same voltage and frequency as the commercial AC power by the power converter 6 and the transformer 5, and supplied to the load 12 via the switches S4 and S3 and the output terminal T3. The operation of the load 12 is continued.

  At the time of maintenance, only the switch S7 is turned on, the other switches S1 to S6, S8 are turned off, and AC power is supplied from the generator 11 to the load 12 via the bypass terminal T2, the switch S7, and the output terminal T3. 12 is driven.

  In the first embodiment, a high voltage is supplied to the load 12 by connecting a plurality of uninterruptible power supply devices (for example, UU1 to UU3) in series to the load 12. Therefore, since no output transformer is used, high efficiency can be obtained.

  In addition, when the output transformer is driven by a low-voltage uninterruptible power supply, an uninterruptible power supply with a large rated current is required. It can consist of a small uninterruptible power supply.

  Further, a plurality of uninterruptible power supply devices (for example, UU1 to UU3) are connected by connecting a plurality of secondary windings (for example, CU1 to CU3) of the input transformer 1 to a plurality of uninterruptible power supply devices (for example, UU1 to UU3), respectively. Since they are insulated from each other, it is possible to use a low-breakdown-voltage transistor Q, a diode D, and the like, and to reduce the cost of the device.

  Moreover, since the energy storage devices 3 and 4 are provided, the operation of the load 12 can be continued even when the power failure time is long. In addition, since a non-instantaneous switch is not required, the cost of the apparatus can be reduced.

  In the first embodiment, the AC voltage of 3.3 KV from the commercial AC power supply 10 is stepped down to an AC voltage of 635 V, a phase voltage of 1905 V is generated by a three-stage uninterruptible power supply, and 3.3 KV of Although the line voltage is regenerated, an even higher voltage uninterruptible power supply system can be constructed by increasing the number of stages of the uninterruptible power supply. For example, even if a 6.6 KV AC voltage from a commercial AC power supply is stepped down to a 635 V AC voltage, a phase voltage of 3810 V is generated by a 6-stage uninterruptible power supply, and a 6.6 KV line voltage is regenerated. Good.
