An integrated solution strategy that integrates multiple domains together in a seamless and standardized way for increasing a user's control over facilities and equipment. This integrated approach can lead to a reduction of energy usage, more efficient energy usage, increased safety, health, and security of a facility and its occupants, optimized production in industrial settings, and associated and other economic advantages. Accurate, reliable information about a facility or equipment is essential to making timely, informed decisions. Enhanced automation provides a reliable means of collecting and assembling a variety of operating data and archiving that data into a central database for evaluation, reporting, forecasting, and negotiation with resource marketers.

Uninterruptible power supply

A method and apparatus for controlling the providing of conditioned AC power, with the conditioned AC power being capable of being provided on a continuous basis. Unconditioned AC voltage is received by transverters. The transverters convert the unconditioned AC voltage into a transverter AC output voltage. The transverter AC output voltage is monitored by current and voltage sensors. A transverter control signal is developed in response to changes in the current and voltage sensing in comparison with a reference signal. The transverter control signal then regulates conversion of the transverter AC output voltage into the desired conditioned AC output voltage. In multi-phase AC voltage systems conditioned AC voltages for each phase are provided.
