Chapter 1c

The document summarizes the basic components and operation of a switched-mode power supply (SMPS). It describes the input rectifier stage, inverter stage, output transformer, output rectifier and filter, and chopper controller. It notes advantages of SMPS like smaller size, higher efficiency, and wider input voltage range compared to linear power supplies. It also lists a disadvantage as more complex circuitry. Finally, it provides a brief introduction to high voltage direct current transmission and its use for long distance submarine cables or overhead lines.

2 Block Diagram of SMPS


The basic building blocks of an SMPS are shown in Figure 1:

Figure 1 : Block diagram of an SMPS

1.3 Operation of Switched-Mode
Power Supply (SMPS)
Input Rectifier Stage
If the SMPS has an AC input, then the first stage is to convert
the input to DC
Inverter Stage
The inverter stage converts DC, whether directly from the input
or from the rectifier stage described above, to AC by running it
through a power oscillator
Output Transformer
If the output is required to be isolated from the input, as is
usually the case in mains power supplies, the inverted AC is
used to drive the primary winding of a high-frequency
transformer and this converts the voltage up or down to the
required output level on its secondary winding 2
1.3 Operation of Switched-Mode
Power Supply (SMPS)
Output Rectifier And Filter
If a DC output is required, the AC output from the
transformer is rectified
Chopper Controller
Feedback circuit monitors the output voltage and compares it
with a reference voltage

Advantages & Disadvantages of
SMPS
Advantages of SMPS over Linear Power Supplies:
 1. Lower weight
 2. Smaller size
 3. Higher efficiency
 4. Lower power dissipation
 5. Wide ac input voltage range
 6. Reduced costs
 Disadvantages of SMPS:
 1. Complexity of the circuit

1.4 The function of Power
Electronics in HVDC
High Voltage Direct Current Transmission | HVDC
Transmission

The massive transmission of electricity in the form of DC


over long distances by means of submarine cables or overhead
transmission line is the high voltage direct current
transmission. This type of transmission is preferred over
HVAC transmission for very long distance when considering
the cost, losses and many other factors. The names Electrical
superhighway or Power superhighway are often used for
HVDC.
