A recently developed technology allows the use of pure lead for positive spine grids and pure copper for negative grids, straps, and terminal posts. This technology totally avoids the use of antimony, while increasing life and improving performances in connection with high rate discharges. Other advantages are higher reliability; lower manpower cost, due to automation of the process; lower total cost, compared with standard types; possibility of producing grids of larger dimensions; and elimination of casting operations for positive and negative grids, by the use of mechanical working only. The complete program of research and development is summarized which has now approached patent protection for both positive and negative grid technology. A new design for industrial traction and stationary cells, able to supply more power and more capacity for longer lifetime, has also been developed.<>

Towards the end of the seventies, given the introduction of electronic telephone exchanges, energy plants equipped with off-line switching rectifiers were designed and put in service. The range of energy plants dedicated to telecommunication equipment constituted a complete line of unit-composed energy plants named HF 87 and having a power up to 60 kW. The authors describe the principle of these energy plants and their rectifiers, discuss their main features, and present the availability data. It is concluded that the top-level performance, high power/volume rates of modular units and the MTBF (mean time before failure) and MTTR (mean time to removal) values obtained make the energy power plants equipped with off-line switching rectifiers the best solution to the requirements of new telecommunication systems.<>

The DC behavior of a constant-frequency, clamped-mode parallel-resonant converter operating above resonant frequency is characterized. The converter is shown to be able to operate with zero-voltage turn-on for all the switches from no load to full load over a wide input range. Various circuit operating modes are identified and their corresponding operating regions defined. DC characteristics for the converter design are derived. A 5 V, 50 W prototype converter operating at 104 kHz is breadboarded to show the feasibility of constant-frequency, zero-voltage-switching operation and to substantiate the analytical results. The converter is operated with zero-voltage switching from no load to full load over the entire input voltage range without any external antiparallel diodes and snubbers. The experimental results are in good agreement with the analytical predictions. An efficiency of 85% is achieved.<>

Switchmode power conversion is displacing conventional linear power conversion within Telecom Australia exchange equipment. Advances in computer-aided design software and device models have enabled the waveforms within a switchmode power supply to be accurately simulated.

The authors describe a family of diesel engines having high specific output per unit of cylinder displacement. They briefly cover the design characteristics of the engine and discuss how computer-predicted performance compares with measured data. They also highlight the problems associated with high-output engines in connection with the application of the load and evaluate some techniques to improve the situation. It is concluded that the design concept of the 6, 8, 12, and 16 cylinder turbocharged and charge-cooled engines leads to a cost-effective and technically advanced engine that will fulfil the needs of the telecommunications industry.<>

The authors describe a novel conceptual multistage topology of a sinewave-modulated DC-LFAC (DC-low-frequency AC) power conversion conditioning and processing system, which incorporate a phase-shifting PWM (pulsewidth modulation) series-resonant cycloinverter (inverter-coupled cycloconverter cascade circuit) with a high-frequency AC (HFAC) transformer link. Its advanced hardware of system control implementation uses instantaneous sinewave-modulated voltage regulation and compensation strategies, depending upon load disturbance and input DC voltage fluctuation, as well as an instantaneous power regenerating regulation scheme. A newly proposed breadboard using MOS-gate power transistor modules is demonstrated and experimentally tested for high-power-density AC mini-uninterruptible power supply. This series resonant cycloinconverter with HFAC link, which includes the control function of a bidirectional power flow, is evaluated as an AC power supply system for telecommunication and spacestation/aerospace energy situations in the next generation.<>

A method for evaluating the parameters controlling the behavior of gas-recombining lead-acid batteries has been proposed by M. Maja and N. Penazzi, (see J. Power Sources, vol.25, no.2, p.99-109 (1989) and J. Power Sources, vol.25, no.3, p.229-38 (1989)) and tests have shown the feasibility of the procedure. The method proposed is based on the measurement of the internal pressure of a cell filled with inert gas, oxygen, and hydrogen, and maintained at open circuit or in overcharge. The authors discuss the influence of various parameters on the pressure and the composition of the gas present in the cell, maintained in various conditions (storage, floating or overcharge).<>

A high-frequency-link AC-to-DC converter with sinusoidal input current and high-quality power factor is discussed. A bridge configuration is used for both boosting and inverting stages. Input line current is sensed and firing of the power transistors S/sub 1/ to S/sub 4/ is inhibited using a pulse-width modulation (PWM) modulator. The proposed AC-to-DC converter, which includes control circuitry for instantaneous current control implementation, is capable of providing a wide-range-regulated output direct voltage. A performance evaluation of the proposed converter was carried out theoretically and experimentally, with highly satisfactory results.<>

The principles of UPS (uninterruptible power supply) design are elaborated, and the future role of rotary UPS is discussed. Rotary systems user fewer semiconductors and controls and have no need for filters due to their unique transformer. Heavily distorted loads, surge currents and fuseclearing do not cause any problems. Because of the minimum number of parts in the active electronic sections the reliability and efficiency are extremely high. The drawbacks are a higher price as well as slightly higher weight and space requirements.<>
