The granted patent US12062941B2 describes an advanced uninterruptible power supply (UPS) designed to efficiently monitor and prioritize the use of available power. Central to this UPS is an electronic controller equipped with a memory and a software control module, which works in conjunction with a battery, a rectifier, an inverter, and a DC/DC converter. The system is engineered to dynamically manage power from both a primary AC power source and the battery, ensuring that adequate power is supplied to connected loads while also facilitating battery charging under specific operating conditions. The UPS is capable of setting and adjusting parameters such as maximum input current, maximum power input, and maximum charging current, allowing for optimized performance based on real-time energy demands.
Further enhancing its functionality, the UPS includes features that allow the electronic controller to assess energy availability and adjust charging currents accordingly. For instance, if the primary AC power source cannot simultaneously charge the battery and meet load requirements, the system can reduce the charging current or even halt it to prioritize load support. Additionally, the UPS can increase the current drawn from the primary source to expedite battery charging when conditions permit, all while ensuring that operations remain within a predetermined Safe Operating Area (SoA). This innovative approach not only improves the reliability of power supply but also enhances the efficiency of battery management, making it a significant advancement in UPS technology.
