  • Patent number: 11611231
    Abstract: An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system with stranded power recovery has a plurality of UPS modules with one or more of the UPS modules usable to provide stranded power to a recovered power bus. When a UPS module is used to provide stranded power to the recovered power bus, the AC/AC converter associated with that UPS module provides AC power that is synchronized with AC power being provided to the recovered power bus by each of the other AC/AC converters that are providing AC power. In this manner all of the AC/AC converters that are providing AC power to the recovered power bus have the same voltage, the same frequency, and are in phase.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 18, 2022
    Date of Patent: March 21, 2023
