Abstract: A power backup system includes a multi phased energy storage and a backup supply. The energy storage includes battery strings, each capable of supplying either an AC or DC voltage to a load. During normal operation, the backup supply is configured for being supplied with an AC voltage from a utility grid and being connectable to a DC voltage supplying battery string of the energy storage. During abnormal operation, the backup supply is configured for, in a first period of time, being supplied from a DC output voltage established by the a first battery string and after expiration of the first period of time being supplied from the AC output voltage established by a second battery string.

Abstract: A battery storage and/or a wind turbine including the battery storage. A generator for generation of an electric current. An electric flow path configured for conducting the electric current to an electric grid via a power converter, the power converter. The battery storage electrically connected to the electric flow path, the battery storage comprising a plurality of battery cells, each battery cell comprising at least one battery element and at least two semiconductor switches. A controller is configured for selectively controlling the voltage over the battery storage by controlling the status of the at least two semiconductor switches of a plurality of the battery cells, and thereby whether a current path through the battery storage is bypassing the at least one battery element or passing through the at least one battery element of one or more of the plurality of battery cells.

Abstract: A method of selecting and charging battery modules connected in a battery string based on a first method and subsequently based on a second method. The first method includes the following steps: establish a state of charge of the battery modules and control connectivity of the battery modules to the battery string according to the established state of charge, to balance the state of charge among the battery modules. The second method includes the following steps: associate the battery modules with a unique battery module identification, establish a battery module current, establish battery cell voltage of battery cells comprised by the battery modules, control connectivity of the battery modules to the battery string according to the battery module identifications, and charge the battery module connected to the battery string for a determined period of time.
