Power backup circuit and method of operating the same
A power backup circuit provides a plurality of input power sources to back up a load. The power backup circuit includes a first switch, a second switch, and a control unit. The input power sources at least includes a first input power source and a second input power source. If the input power source of the load needs to be changed from the first input power source to the second input power source, the control unit controls the first switch to be coupled to the second input power source and controls the second switch to be coupled to the second input power source after the control unit effects a supply current flowing through a first power supply path and a second power supply path both coupled to the first input power source and the load to be reduced below a current threshold.
POWER STATION SYSTEMS INCLUDING MODULAR POWER STORAGE SYSTEMS
Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described herein for a power storage system, including a power storage configured to store electric power, a power output device operatively coupled to the power storage, wherein the power output device is configured to provide the electric power stored in the power storage to one or more power-consuming devices, a first power transfer component configured to receive the electric power from a power source, a second power transfer component configured to transfer the electric power to another power storage system, and a housing structurally supporting the power storage, the power output device, the first power transfer component, and the second power transfer component.
VEHICLE POWER SUPPLY CONTROL SYSTEM, VEHICLE, AND METHOD
A vehicle power supply control system includes a solar panel, a drive battery, an auxiliary battery, an auxiliary system that is powered by the solar panel and the auxiliary battery, an acquisition unit, and a controller. The acquisition unit is configured to acquire power generated by the solar panel and power consumption of the auxiliary system. The controller is configured to control power supply from the solar panel to the drive battery based on the power generated by the solar panel and the power consumption of the auxiliary system when the power supply from the solar panel to the drive battery is possible.

ENERGY OFFLOADING SYSTEM
An energy offloading system is in direct electric communication with an energy generating system and dynamically receives energy from the energy generating system. The energy offloading system uses energy for high-load computations. The energy offloading system includes computers performing the high-load computations as well as servers, cooling units, and communication devices. When the energy from the energy generating system is terminated, the energy offloading system may power down these and other devices, or may switch these devices to an alternative power source. The energy offloading system may be portable.
