Automated expansion analyzer for telecommunications power systems

Abstract

Processor-implemented monitor and control modules gather operating data from the rectifier units, battery connection units and power distribution units. From these data, statistical operating data are calculated and stored in a database managed by the resident processor within the power system control unit. The system expansion analysis module analyzes the statistical data in view of a set of predetermined warning and alarm threshold parameters, which may be factory specified or user settable. If an alarm or upgrade condition is detected, the system expansion analysis module generates an upgrade notification that is optionally sent in a variety of forms including local audible or on screen notification, remote alarm through network connection to a remote computer, via internet web browser and e-mail message. The system can also optionally initiate automated order processing to place orders for upgrade or expansion equipment and installation services.
