Abstract: An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is provided that includes a split direct current (DC) link having a first capacitor coupled between a positive DC link terminal and a first node, and a second capacitor coupled between the first node and a negative DC link terminal. The UPS also includes a rectifier coupled to an input of the split DC link and a controller coupled to the rectifier. The rectifier includes first, second, and third legs, wherein each leg is configured to convert a first alternating current (AC) voltage received from an AC source into a DC voltage to be provided to the split DC link, and a fourth leg configured to balance DC link voltages of the first and second capacitors. The controller is configured to maintain functionality of the rectifier during at least one of a partial utility power outage, a full utility outage, and a failure of at least one of the first, second, third, and fourth legs.

Abstract: A power supply for a power line includes a synchronization module having a receiver configured for receiving a clock signal from a satellite-based positioning system and an oscillator configured for generating a periodic signal synchronized to the received clock signal. The power supply includes an inverter module having an inverter configured for supplying an AC voltage to the power line, receiving the periodic signal from the synchronization module, and controlling the inverter using the received periodic signal as a synchronization reference signal for the supplied AC voltage. The power supply further includes a power exchange control module configured for: monitoring an active power flow P from the inverter module to the power line, determining whether the active power flow P satisfies a reverse-flow condition, and when the reverse-flow condition is determined, adapting at least one of a phase and an output voltage of the supplied AC voltage.

Abstract: A power supply system includes one or more uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs), a catcher system, one or more communication channels, each communicatively coupling one of the UPSs with another one of the UPSs or with the catcher system, and one or more loads, each associated with at least one of the UPSs. Each of the UPSs is a multiport uninterruptible power supply (UPS) comprising a multiport transfer switch operable to selectively switch between at least a first mode, a second mode, and a third mode of the UPS supplying power to the load or loads associated with the UPS. In the first mode, power is supplied from the grid via a converter of the UPS, in the second mode, power is supplied from the catcher system via the UPS, and, in the third mode, power is supplied from the grid via the UPS bypassing the converter of the UPS.
