Adaptive power system
First Claim
1. An integrated adaptive power system, comprising:
- a power source unit including a plurality of power sources and a power bus, the power source unit being configured to provide electrical power from one or more of the power sources to the power bus;
a power distribution unit configured to distribute electrical power from the power bus to a plurality of electrical devices; and
a power control unit configured to control a power sequence for the power distribution unit to distribute electrical power from the power bus to the plurality of electrical devices in a coordinated manner consistent with load or time interval for each of the electrical devices, the power control unit having an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) configured to provide power to the power bus when none of the power sources is available, the power control unit further configured to determine to shut down non-critical parts of the electrical devices and to provide the electrical power to critical parts of the electrical devices when a power level of the UPS is lower than a threshold.

Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure provides an adaptive power system to relieve manual efforts for performing appropriate power procedures. The adaptive power system can include a power source unit including a plurality of power sources and a power bus. The power source unit can be configured to provide electrical power from one or more of the power sources to the power bus. Further, the adaptive power system can include a power distribution unit configured to distribute electrical power from the power bus to a plurality of electrical devices. In addition, the adaptive power system can include a power control unit configured to control a power sequence for the power distribution unit to distribute electrical power from the power bus to the plurality of electrical devices in a coordinated manner consistent with load or time interval for each of the electrical devices.

8. A method for distributing power, comprising:
-
receiving a start signal; determining whether a plurality of power sources coupled to a power bus is available; sequentially providing power from the power bus to a plurality of electrical devices in a coordinated manner consistent with load or time interval of the electrical devices, if a first power source is available; determining a power level of uninterruptible power supply (UPS) configured to provide power to the power bus when none of the power sources is available; and shutting down non-critical parts of the electrical devices and providing the power to critical parts of the electrical devices when the determined power level of the UPS is lower than a threshold. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
