  • Patent number: 10965152
    Abstract: An uninterruptible power supply adapted to be connected between an AC line and a load, comprising a battery system, an inverter, and a transformer, and a controller. The battery system stores battery power. The inverter is operatively connected to the battery system. The transformer is operatively connected to the AC line, the load, and an inverter winding operatively connected to the inverter. The controller controls the inverter to supply power to the primary winding using battery power stored in the battery system based on a cost value indicative of reduction of life of the battery system.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10263460
    Abstract: An uninterruptible power supply adapted to be connected between an AC line and a load a battery system for storing battery power, an inverter, a transformer, and a controller. The inverter is operatively connected to the battery system. The transformer comprises a primary winding adapted to be operatively connected to the AC line, a load winding adapted to be operatively connected to the load, and an inverter winding operatively connected to the inverter. The controller controls the inverter to operate in a first mode in which the inverter supplies power to the battery system, a second mode in which the inverter supplies power to the load winding using battery power stored in the battery system, and, based on a cost value indicative of reduction of life of the battery system, a third mode in which the inverter supplies power to the primary winding using battery power stored in the battery system.

  • Patent number: 9030048
    Abstract: An uninterruptible power supply for supply electrical power to a load, comprises a connection to a primary source for supplying primary power, a battery system for storing battery power, an inverter, and a controller. The controller controls the inverter to operate in a first mode, a second mode, and in a third mode. In the first mode, power is supplied to the primary load and the battery system based on primary power. In the second mode, power is supplied to the primary load based on battery power. In the third mode, power is supplied to the primary source based on battery power.
