In the 1960s, the first UPSs marketed sought to stabilize the output voltage and continue to support the load, without interruption, in the event of mains supply failure and with limited reliability.

In the 1970s, UPSs introduced static bypass. With an architecture that substantially improved overall reliability. A switch that allowed seamless load transfer to the standby power grid if failure or overload.

Cloud Boom to Respond with Modular Technology

And, more recently, the cloud boom has generated an important technological evolution of UPSs. Which have had to respond with modular technology to the high levels of security. That the protection of Data Center servers requires.

These are modular UPSs that contain a large number of modules connected in redundant parallel. Which significantly improve energy availability and substantially. To increase the safety of classic power systems, by combining efficiency, flexibility, scalability, redundancy, and reliability.

Technological Evolution

Parallel to the technological evolution that UPSs have experienced as a result of the irruption of the cloud. Another factor that has also contributed to this evolution in recent years has been its digitization and connectivity. Especially as a consequence of the development of the Internet of things (IoT) and the new needs of Industry 4.0.

In this area, UPSs are no longer an independent element and are becoming smart grid nodes that help manage and optimize the energy system, controlling its status and load through equipment monitoring.

The New Technological Features

The latest generation UPSs incorporate -jointly or separately- the following technological functionalities:

High Efficiency mode

Dedicated electronic devices and control algorithm, which allow the batteries to be dynamically isolated from the equipment’s DC bus, so that we can power the inverter at a lower DC voltage.

Scheme High-Efficiency

Eco mode/Mode

Selectable operating mode where the loads power directly by the static bypass as long as it is within the acceptable voltage and frequency margins.

Smart-Efficiency Mode

In this mode, the equipment distributes the loads among the least number of modules possible to find the maximum point of efficiency in operation.

IoT

Equipment monitoring system and remote management options, notification of incidents, monitoring of the health status of the equipment and preventive maintenance actions. There are different communication and integration interfaces in platforms or virtualized environments that enable this function.

Serial Interfaces

The communication channels incorporated in the latest generation UPSs are multiple and varied: USB interface, RS-232 interface, RS-485 interface, Nimbus/SNMP-Ethernet card slot, free slot, digital inputs, relay outputs and EPO signal (emergency stop).

Silicon Carbide (SiC) Devices

It is the ultimate in performance and efficiency. They allow to work in a much larger temperature range and at much higher switching speeds, without degrading their performance.

Redundant Power

Redundant power supplies for the control and the static bypass switch, which ensure the continuity of energy even in the event of failure of the equipment itself, providing maximum availability.

Modular Design

Back Feed Protection

Provides additional input protection in the event that the shunt bypass thyristors short-circuited. The use of the internal back feed contactor on the by-pass line provides safety in fault situations occurring on the static by-pass line and prevents power from rising on the input.

Hot-Swap and Hot-Plug Connection

It allows adaptation to future needs without interrupting the protection of critical loads, while achieving a mean time to repair (MTTR) of less than 10 minutes. Hot-pluggable modules, without the need to interrupt service for expansion/maintenance/change operations of the power modules, the bypass module, or the touch display.

VFI Double Conversion Technology

Double conversion between input and output, AC/DC + DC/AC, providing a clean, stable, and reliable voltage at the output. It protects the load from all disturbances in the electrical network and supplies it with the highest quality voltage.

Very Compact Design

It allows to reduce the surface occupied on the floor, providing higher power density, and resulting in lower cost of ownership (low TCO).

Redundant Fans

The redundant fan system with independent air flow circuits in the rectifier and inverter systems of each power module. Also, the redundant safety in one of the most necessary elements in maintaining the optimal operating conditions of the modules

EPO – Emergency Power Off

Emergency stop switch to completely isolate the output in emergency situations. It offers electrical isolation of the outputs to prevent the possible spread of incidents during an emergency.

High Efficiency in Double Conversion
