Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for monitoring and prioritizing use of available power. The UPS has an electronic controller with a memory and a software control module. The UPS also has a battery, a rectifier for rectifying available AC power from a primary external AC power source to produce DC power, an inverter in communication with the rectifier for generating AC power from the DC power provided by the rectifier, and a DC/DC converter in communication with the rectifier for producing a DC charging current for use in charging the battery. The electronic controller and the software control module are configured to dynamically prioritize the use of available power from at least one of the primary AC power source and from the battery, to maintain adequate power to a load being supported by the UPS, as well as to charge the battery of the UPS when predetermined operating conditions are met.
