A novel buffer unit provides a battery-free design for a secure power supply in case of AC power faults.

The concern and sensitivity among industrial users with regard to power quality continues to grow, especially in light of the impending liberalisation of energy markets worldwide Until now, only battery-based DC-UPS systems were able to provide supplementary power in the event of mains failures

However, these systems require regular maintenance, and the industrial fitness of batteries is limited.

Some manufacturers specify the lifetime of the batteries to be just one year, even under the optimistic assumption of 40C ambient temperature.
