UPS redundancy analysis application
The primary function of a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) is to deliver clean, continuous power to connected equipment. However, as an electronic system, the UPS itself is not inherently fault-tolerant. While traditional online UPS systems have managed to provide uninterrupted power through energy storage and bypass switching, modern power demands are pushing users toward more robust solutions. They now expect the power system to remain fully operational even during maintenance or in case of failures, ensuring constant protection for the load.
Initially, users often opted for redundant hot-spare configurations in series, which required relatively simple setups and allowed the use of standard single units. However, this approach had several drawbacks, including uneven aging of components and high redundancy levels (typically over 100%). The system’s reliability during transitions was low, and expansion was limited. Later, the 1+1 parallel configuration emerged, offering full redundancy with a 100% capacity backup, allowing the system to tolerate a single failure. Although this improved reliability compared to standalone or serial systems, it came at the cost of reduced efficiency—often no more than 75%.
The development of N+1 multi-machine parallel technology marked a significant shift, as it reduced system redundancy to 100% or less and enabled N+X configurations that could handle multiple faults. However, this solution typically required high-capacity UPS units, making it unsuitable for mid-sized applications under 100 kVA. The modular system, on the other hand, introduced moderate power units that made N+1 or even N+X redundancy accessible to smaller-scale users, offering them enhanced security without the need for large upfront investments.
The modular system builds upon advancements in power electronics and manufacturing, using a parallel architecture that supports hot-swappable components. This design allows for seamless transitions between independent operation and collaborative functioning. Unlike traditional multi-machine setups, which were too costly and complex for mid-power users, the modular approach enables scalable, reliable, and efficient power protection. Statistical data shows that most users end up deploying N+X configurations in practice, making it the most reliable power solution available today.
Power+ is a parallel redundant UPS system designed for flexibility and scalability. It consists of a system controller, static switches, and 1 to 10 power modules, each rated at 10 kVA. These modules can be added or removed while the system is running, allowing for easy expansion and maintenance without interrupting power delivery. This hot-pluggable feature ensures that users can adapt their system to changing needs without downtime.
Power+ offers maximum fault tolerance, with all critical components—system controllers, static switches, and power modules—built with internal redundancy. Each unit operates independently and intelligently, so the failure of any single module won’t disrupt the overall system performance.
In addition to its core functionality, Power+ comes with optional accessories such as charging modules, wireless communication, isolation transformers, and advanced control software. These features allow users to tailor the system to their specific requirements, enhancing both functionality and convenience. Whether you're looking for a compact solution or a highly scalable infrastructure, Power+ provides a flexible and reliable power protection option for a wide range of applications.
