Power Protection – Modular Scalable UPS
Why Modular UPS’s ?

Modular UPS designs

CONCERNS …. ▪ Scalable – pay as you grow

▪ Rightsizing
RELIABILITY ▪ Eliminate stranded capacity
▪ Availability – integrated
redundancy
▪ Serviceability – low MTTR
▪ Flexibility – easily scalable to fit
current power/redundancy need

400kW + 400kW = 400kW N+1 Modular 5x100kW = 400kW N+1

October 29, 2020 Slide 17

Modular UPS (Gen 1) – Centralized design

Centralized Modular UPS

CONCERNS …. ▪ Traditional modular UPS design

▪ All control logic, static switch
etc., centralized in UPS frame
▪ UPS frame is system control
RELIABILITY
cabinet (SCC)
▪ Several single points of failure

October 29, 2020 Slide 18

Evolution of Modular UPS (Gen 2)
Decentralized Parallel Architecture (DPA)

Decentralized Modular UPS

CONCERNS …. ▪ All control logic, static switch

etc., in each power module
▪ Power module is a complete UPS
▪ Passive frame design
RELIABILITY
▪ High availability
▪ Eliminates single points of
failure
▪ Perfect load sharing
▪ Any UPS can be the logic leader
(multi-master system)

October 29, 2020 Slide 19

All about redundancy – eliminate single point of failure

If the demanded function is fly,

redundancy means:
CONCERNS ….
▪ Three (3) engines can fail, and
Single point of failure the demanded function is
maintained
RELIABILITY
REDUNDANCY N+3
▪ If one wing fails, the demanded
function is not maintained
NO REDUNDANCY
