METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING AND RECOVERING SHORT DURATION BRIDGE POWER TO MAXIMIZE BACKUP POWER

摘要

A power system (10a) comprising a primary power source (32) in electrical communication with a bus (38) and a bridging power source (46a), wherein the bridging power source (46a) comprises at least one of a capacitor (48), a battery (49), and an electrolysis cell (62), and the bridging power source (46a) and a secondary power source (100) are in electrical communication with the bus (38). A method for operating a power system (10a) comprising monitoring a primary power source (32), directing power from a bridging power source (46a) to a bus (38) and initiating a secondary power source (100), and the bridging power source (46a) comprises at least one of a capacitor (48), a battery (49), and an electrolysis cell (62) and powering the bus (38) with the secondary power source (100) after ceasing powering the bus (38) with the bridging power source (46a).
