Abstract
This application generally relates to a power buffer device configured to provide more power to a load than is currently available from an alternating current (AC) power source connected to the power buffer device.
Claims4
A system for driving a load comprising:
- a power input adapted to receive AC electrical power from an AC power source, the AC electrical power comprising an AC input voltage;
- a voltage converter comprising an output, the voltage converter connected to the power input, such that the voltage converter can receive electrical power from the AC power source, wherein the voltage converter is adapted to draw a limited current from the AC power source, wherein the limited current does not exceed a current limit set point, and wherein the voltage converter produces an AC output voltage at the output;
- a rechargeable battery coupled to the output of the voltage converter, such that the voltage converter is adapted to charge the rechargeable battery;
- a second voltage converter further adapted to be coupled to an output of the rechargeable battery and to the load;
- and
- wherein the load connected to the second voltage converter is configured to be simultaneously powered by the rechargeable battery and by the voltage converter, wherein an average power supplied by the rechargeable battery and by the voltage converter to the load in a finite time interval differs from an average power supplied by the AC power source to the power input of the voltage converter.
