University Developing Uninterruptible Power Supply Systems for Industrial Use

A major university has announced its plans for the assembly, testing, and mass production of a lineup of Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems. The project, which includes the development of three models with capacities of 10, 30, and 60 kVA, is scheduled to complete assembly and testing by the end of the year.

The university's UPS systems are designed to ensure 24/7 stability in operation, protecting equipment from voltage surges and power outages by switching to battery backup during external network disruptions. These systems are particularly beneficial for the oil and gas sector, where power outages can lead to downtime, financial losses, and difficulties in restarting high-inrush current installations.

In addition to the UPS systems, the university is also developing a universal management system. This system allows for flexible configuration and power scaling based on production needs, and is designed for industrial UPS units with capacities ranging from 30 to 400 kVA. The universal management system is a key component in the streamlining of mass production for industrial UPS units.

Specialists are currently conducting commissioning tests to verify the equipment's resilience to voltage fluctuations, varying loads, and complete power loss. These tests aim to ensure the systems' reliability and efficiency in real-world conditions.

Once the assembly and testing phase is complete, the university will begin preparations for mass production of the devices. The standard modules for the industrial UPS units include rectifiers and inverters, ensuring the systems' compatibility with a wide range of equipment.

While the specific university and individual project staff associated with the development of these UPS systems have not been identified, it is worth noting that companies like BENNING produce UPS systems in the capacity ranges of 10 kVA to 240 kVA, and firms like Eaton manufacture 10-30 kVA three-phase UPSs. However, no academic institutions or named project personnel are mentioned in these cases.

The development of these UPS systems and the universal management system is part of an ongoing project at the university, with the goal of providing reliable and efficient power solutions for industries that require continuous operation.
