What is a UPS (uninterruptible power supply)?

A UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) is an emergency power system that provides backup power when the main source of power is lost. It gives businesses valuable time to safely power down machinery or keep critical systems online until backup generators kick in.

What are the requirements for power supplies and ups in critical infrastructures?

Specific requirements for power supplies and UPS systems in critical infrastructures concern reliability, robustness, and security: UPS systems ensure an uninterrupted power supply during power outages and enable an orderly shutdown of systems during prolonged outages.

Why do energy supply companies use DC UPS systems?

Energy supply companies use DC UPS systems in combination with remote control technology to protect the control systems of their power plants and to ensure the integration of renewable energies through transfer stations and distribution networks such as local secondary substations.

Can Puls power an uninterruptible power supply?

Currently, PULS offers two options for an uninterruptible power supply to the load in an emergency: both double-layer capacitors and lead-acid batteries can serve as energy storage in DC-UPS systems for industrial applications.

Why do critical infrastructures need ups?

Many critical infrastructures are legally required to take measures to ensure a continuous power supply. UPS systems help meet these requirements and ensure compliance with relevant standards and regulations. The power supply in critical infrastructures is of paramount importance for the safety and well-being of society.

Why do you need an UPS system?

This measure helps in planning for energy requirements and ensuring uninterrupted operation of essential equipment. The concept of UPS systems dates back to the early 20th century, evolving from simple battery backups to sophisticated systems that provide clean, uninterrupted power.
