Abstract
Examples relate to power supply system comprising a primary power supply to deliver a first power to a load and a secondary power supply that, in response to a failure in the primary power supply, is to deliver a second power to the load. The system further comprises a primary energy storage component coupled to the primary power supply that, in response to the failure in the primary power supply, is to deliver a third power to the load while the secondary power supply transitions from a lesser output power level to a greater output power level. The third power is at the same full-rated power level than the first power.
Claims20
A power supply system comprising:
- a primary power supply to deliver a first power to a load;
- a secondary power supply that, in response to a failure in the primary power supply, is to deliver a second power to the load;
- and
- a primary energy storage component coupled to the primary power supply that, in response to the failure in the primary power supply, is to deliver a third power to the load while the secondary power supply transitions from a lesser output power level to a greater output power level and wherein the third power is at the same full-rated power level than the first power.
A method comprising:
- powering a load with a first power generated by a primary power supply;
- in response to a failure of the primary power supply, powering the load with a third power generated by a primary energy storage component coupled to the primary power supply while a secondary power supply transitions from a lesser output power level to a greater output power level and wherein the third power is at the same full-rated power level of the first power;
- and
- in response the secondary power supply reaching the greater output power level, turning off the primary energy storage component;
- and
- powering the load with the secondary power supply.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that when executed by a processor causes the processor to:
- cause a primary power supply to deliver a first power to a load;
- in response to a failure of the primary power supply, cause a primary energy storage component coupled to the primary power supply to deliver a third power to the load while a secondary power supply transitions from a lesser output power level to a greater output power level and wherein the third power is at the same full-rated power level of the first power;
- in response the secondary power supply reaching the greater output power level, cause the secondary power supply to deliver a second power to the load;
- and
- cause the primary energy storage component to turn off.
