Publication number: 20240047990Abstract: Power systems and methods are provided that receive input power and provide output power to a load. Under a first state of operation, power conversion circuitry may receive the input power and provide the output power. A bypass switch includes a controller that detects a failure condition by detecting a link down state on a communications interface. In response to detecting the link down state, the switch controller operates the bypass switch to convey the input power to the output in a second state of operation. The second state of operation is a bypass state of operation whereby the power conversion circuitry is bypassed.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventors: Bo Chen, Richard Dyrmose Olsen

Patent number: 9882423Abstract: Systems and methods of controlling an uninterruptible power supply are provided. In one aspect, an uninterruptible power supply includes a first input configured to receive input power from a first power source, a second input configured to receive input power from a second power source, an output configured to provide output power to a load derived from power from at least one of the first power source and the second power source, a power conversion circuit coupled with the first input, the second input and the output, and a controller coupled with the power conversion circuit. The controller is configured to control the power conversion circuit to provide an output voltage of the output power at a first voltage level, and to control the power conversion circuit to provide an output voltage of the output power at substantially a second voltage level.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2013Date of Patent: January 30, 2018Assignee: SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC IT CORPORATIONInventor: Richard Dyrmose Olsen

Patent number: 8053927Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing uninterruptible power are provided by aspects of the invention. One aspect is more particularly directed to an uninterruptible power supply for providing power to a load. The uninterruptible power supply includes an input to receive input power, an output to provide output power, a plurality of battery modules that provide backup power, a power circuit coupled to the input, coupled to the plurality of battery modules and coupled to the output to provide power derived from at least one of the input power and the backup power to the output, a controller, a return line coupled to the controller and coupled to each of the battery modules, and a first sense line coupled to the controller and coupled to the plurality of battery modules. The controller and each of the battery modules are configured and arranged such that at least one characteristic of the battery modules is determined by the controller based on signals detected by the controller on the first sense line.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2010Date of Patent: November 8, 2011Assignee: American Power Conversion CorporationInventors: Thomas Enné Hjort, Michael Pedersen, Henrik Mathiesen, Henning Roar Nielsen, Richard Dyrmose Olsen
