Paper Title
Design And Development Of Battery Charger For Online Ups Using PIC Microcontroller
Abstract
The proposed on-line uninterruptible power supply (UPS) offers AC voltage regulation on continuity basis which
incorporates with the controllable battery charger. The charge control technique used for battery is constant current charging
technique. The Constant Current is achieved by limiting the duty cycle of charger (or step-down chopper). Based upon the
proposed constant current charging technique, a digital charger is designed and is control through PIC 16F877A
microcontroller software. In proposed scheme, protection of battery over charge and battery under discharge is available with
relay trip through PIC 16F877A microcontroller by monitoring voltages on continues basis. The backup of battery takes
place the load without spikes or delay when the mains power gets fails or interrupted. Experimental results using PIC
16F877A microcontroller controlled battery charger cum rectifier is presented to shows the effectiveness of the proposed
design.
