Patent number: 9300171Abstract: A modular emergency power system architecture (200) with a plurality of output power supply lines for feeding power to a destination, in which the operational status of each output power supply line is configurable. The architecture comprises a plurality of load bars (208, 209) from which power is delivered to the destination. The load bars (208, 209) are selectively connectable to send power to or receive AC power from a mains supply (202) and/or a DC bus (210) via one or more AC/DC power conversion modules (212, 214). The DC bus (210) is connected to receive a secondary (e.g. emergency) power supply (218, 224). The architecture may provide redundancy and on-the-fly reconfigurability to complement changes in the physical location of critical components in the destination, e.g. caused by virtualization, zoning or repair. The architecture is operable as a stand-alone uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or as an extended runtime generator for an existing UPS.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2009Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: LEANECO APSInventor: Klaus Moth

Publication number: 20140212704Abstract: A manifold for use with fuel cell and fuel cell stacks is provided. In certain examples, the manifold may be constructed and arranged to provide air to all cathodes in a first fuel cell stack fluidically coupled to the manifold and configured to provide fuel to all anodes in the first fuel cell stack. In some examples, the manifold may be constructed and arranged to provide air to all cathodes in a first fuel cell stack and a second fuel cell stack and to provide fuel to all anodes in the first fuel cell stack and the second fuel cell stack.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2013Publication date: July 31, 2014Applicant: SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC IT CORPORATIONInventors: Kristian Silberbauer, Klaus Moth

Patent number: 7955742Abstract: A fuel cell housing comprising at least one surface configured to condense fluid from exhaust air passing over or through the surface and configured to return the condensed fluid to electrolyte of a fuel cell or fuel cell stack within the fuel cell housing is disclosed. Fuel cell assemblies comprising the fuel cell housing are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2004Date of Patent: June 7, 2011Assignee: American Power Conversion CorporationInventors: Peter Nielsen, Klaus Moth, Ulrik Karlsson

Patent number: 7652393Abstract: At least one aspect is directed to an uninterruptible power supply including an I/O and an output in electrical communication with the I/O. The UPS also includes electronic circuitry which is adapted to, in a first mode of operation, receive power from the I/O and convert the AC power to DC power. The electronic circuitry is also adapted to, in a second mode of operation, receive DC power and to provide AC power to the I/O. The electronic circuit is further adapted to, in the first mode of operation, convert the DC power to AC power and to provide the AC power at the output.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2006Date of Patent: January 26, 2010Assignee: American Power Conversion CorporationInventor: Klaus Moth

Publication number: 20090068504Abstract: Systems and methods for verifying fuel cell system functionality are provided. Various tests and/or exercises may be executed while the fuel cell system is in standby mode to detect potential sources of malfunction. In some examples, one or more tests may be designed to detect leaks or ruptures in various reactant supply lines and/or to test the functionality of various valves associated therewith. A controller may be provided to automatically perform the disclosed tests. In certain examples, the disclosed tests may be conducted without the need to provide each component of a fuel cell system with individual electrical feedback.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2007Publication date: March 12, 2009Applicant: AMERICAN POWER CONVERSION CORPORATIONInventors: Claus Aabjerg Andersen, Klaus Moth
