Abstract
An improved UPS/CPS system employs a high-efficiency uninterrupted power supply function integrated with an engine-generator set that combines both short term protection against momentary power interruptions with longer term power generation. Feedback from a controller provides for improved voltage regulation during abrupt load changes and flexibility of application. A number of features and operating modes are disclosed. In one embodiment, the system is useful as a kit to retrofit existing backup power facilities.
