Abstract
A reserve power bus ring links multiple reserve power systems to computer systems in a data center. The reserve power bus ring enables multiple reserve power systems to concurrently provide reserve power support to sets of computer systems. The reserve power bus ring includes portions to which one or more reserve power systems and computer systems are coupled, and isolation devices collectively isolate particular portions of the reserve power bus ring in response to a fault condition in that particular portion, such that that computer systems on other portions of the ring continue to receive reserve power support from the reserve power systems coupled to the remaining portions. A reserve power bus ring may include respective power buses coupling two or more reserve power systems on an upstream side and a downstream side, and isolation devices can break a connection of the power bars to isolate the reserve power systems.
