  • Methods and apparatus for providing uninterruptible power
    Patent number: 8604640
    Abstract: Power supply systems and methods are provided. In one aspect, a power supply system includes a frame, a power input to receive input power from a power source, a power output to provide output power to a load, at least one battery module mounted in the frame and having a battery output that provides battery power, at least one power module mounted in the frame and coupled to the power input to receive the input power, coupled to the battery output to receive the battery power, and coupled to the power output to provide the output power from at least one of the battery power and the input power, a first controller coupled to the at least one power module, and a second controller.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 2, 2012
    Date of Patent: December 10, 2013
    Assignee: Schneider Electric IT Corporation
    Inventors: Francis J. Masciarelli, Srdan Mutabdzija, Eyob Demissie, Michael J. Ingemi, Donald Lee Charlantini

  • Methods and apparatus for providing uninterruptible power
    Patent number: 8148846
    Abstract: Power supply systems and methods are provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 6, 2009
    Date of Patent: April 3, 2012
    Assignee: American Power Conversion Corporation

  • Method and apparatus for monitoring energy storage devices
    Patent number: 7911088
    Abstract: An improved battery, monitoring circuit and method for communicating with the battery is provided. Such batteries and communication methods are particularly useful in UPS systems that use such batteries to provide back-up power to electrical loads. In one aspect, performance, manufacturing, trend and/or other data are stored in non-volatile memory of the battery and are communicated to an external system such as a UPS. In another aspect, a method for communicating via single-wire interface is provided. In one aspect, a same interface is used to communicate with both conventional batteries and improved batteries having increased monitoring capabilities.
