Network distributed dynamic equalized power supply method
A Network Distributed Dynamic Equalized Power Supply Method includes the following steps: multiple High Voltage Direct Current power supply devices deployed in parallel, the entire High Voltage Direct Current power supply devices parallel connected via the Direct Current Power Grid; there being four power supply modes pre-set in each device, the initial setting part being that the power supply mode of back-up High Voltage Direct Current power supply device being mode B, and the rest being mode A, the power supply voltage of the entire High Voltage Direct Current power supply devices to the Direct Current Power Grid being the same. As per the operation status of one certain High Voltage Direct Current power supply device or the change of power supply load, the power supply mode of the High Voltage Direct Current power supply device and the power supply voltage to the Direct Current Power Grid are changed.
UPS systems and methods using dual mode rectifier/inverter
An uninterruptible power supply (UPS system) includes a first converter circuit, a second converter circuit and a DC bus coupled to the first and second converter circuits. The system further includes a control circuit configured to control the first and second converter circuits and to selectively couple the first and second converter circuits to an AC source and a load to provide a first mode of operation wherein the first and second converter circuits respectively operate as a rectifier and an inverter to serve the load from the AC source and a second mode of operation wherein the first and second converter circuits operate as parallel inverters to serve the load from the DC bus. The control circuit may be configured to couple the AC source to the load to bypass the first and second converter circuits in a third mode of operation.

Systems and methods of energy saving in a battery charging system
Systems and methods of implementing battery charging and energy saving systems in computers, computerized devices, medical devices, industrial devices, wearable devices, wireless charging devices, or any other suitable battery-operable devices. The systems and methods can control output voltages of battery charging systems during multiple charging/discharging periods, including a pre-charging period, a current-controlled charging period, a voltage-controlled charging period, a discharging period, as well as an additional period during which battery packs are removed or otherwise absent from the battery-operable devices or testing is being performed. The systems and methods also provide multiple energy saving modes for the battery-operable devices, allowing transitions between the respective energy saving modes both during operation of the battery-operable devices and during charging of the battery packs within the battery-operable devices.
