  • POWER PEAK SHAVING SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20160285267
    Abstract: Examples of a power peak shaving system are presented. In one example, the power peak shaving system includes a power directing circuit and a control circuit. The power directing circuit may direct power received from at least one of an alternating current (AC) supply voltage or an energy storage unit to generate an output voltage for a load. The control circuit may control the power directing circuit to supplement power received from the AC supply voltage with power received from the energy storage unit to supply power drawn by the load at the output voltage to prevent the power received from the AC supply voltage from exceeding a threshold level.
