6000 watt Powergrid^M IPMS Five PG1500-UPS modules

The Powergrid^M Integrated Power Management System (IPMS) is based on a utilization of an integration
BackPlane (3/4/5 Slot) which can support up to five (5) power modules including AC UPSs, DC UPSs, DC
Power Supplies, and Battery Expansion Modules (BXM). It can provide up to 6,000 watts of conditioned
power services for user equipments. BackPlane Modules (BPM) come in two configurations, one hosting
a 28VDC BackPlane structure (PG-BPMx-24) in support of the PG800 UPS system and a 48VDC structure
(PG-BPMx-48) in support of the PG1500 UPS with (x) indicating the number of slots from 3 to 5.
PowerGrid^M Resilient IPMS Power Distribution

The distribution of conditioned AC and/or DC power services to the user equipment can be accomplished
with on-BackPlane user equipment power connections to include NEMA 5-15R, NEMA 5-20R, IEC, or Mil
Circular connectors. Off-BackPlane distribution can be accomplished with distributed Power Distribution
Units (PDU) connected to the BackPlane with MIL-Circular based Power Interface Cables (PIC) hosting
a variety of user equipment connector styles and individual connection port breaker schemes.
These two distribution methods can be intermixed to meet customer connection requirements.
PowerGrid^M Resilient IPMS Multi-BackPlane Sync

If conditioned power service demands exceed the 6,000w single BackPlane limit, two (2) IPMS BackPlanes
unit can be interconnected with the Multi-Stack Synchronization Interconnect (MSI) extending the available
power support up to a maximum of 12,000 watts of power service. The MSI connection allows the power
modules within both backplanes to fully synchronize their VAC output power services. Each MSI connected
BackPlane can be connected to separate primary Input power connections for additional primary Input
power resiliency if required.
PowerGrid^M Resilient Power Connections

For Critical operational user equipments requiring a high level of resilient power service support, a dual
input PDU can be implemented with connections to the output conditioned power services of both MSI
linked IPMS BackPlanes. With this resilient power service configuration, if one of the IPMS BackPlanes
or the associated Input power source should fail, the critical user equipment will derive its support power
from the second IPMS BackPlane Output power service.
PowerGrid^M Resilient IPMS Multi-Enclave Support

To support multi-enclave security environments hosting both Classified and Un-Classified equipments,
with the implementation of approved Tempest Line Filters (TLF) between the BackPlane and the associated
PDU, the IMPS BackPlane can support both Classed and Un-classed power service. The capability allows for
the consolidation of power support services in complex mixed classification environments providing a high
level of operational availability with non-stop power support for critical operational environments.
PowerGrid^M Resilient IPMS Extended Hold Time Support

If primary power loss hold time requirements exceed the capability of a single IPMS BackPlane
configuration, off-BackPlane Battery Expansion can be implemented in both single connection or shared
connection configurations. To further extend battery support for critical equipments, forced power
shedding can be implemented into the BackPlane output port design to power shed non-critical
equipments and reserve battery energy for designated Critical power connections.

Plug-&-Play BackPlane Special Features

Shelter / Vehicle Modular Design

The AJ’s Power Source Powergrid^M BackPlane Stacking System (BPM) has been specifically developed to address a wide variety of technical and operational challenges normally found in the development of portable shelter and vehicle based C3 systems and environments. Powergrid^M is a modular design based on a common set of power components that can be configured and re-configured to meet nearly any mobile or deployable operational requirement. The Powergrid^M design utilizes the latest advancements in power management technologies to dramatically enhance operational flexibility and performance to include advanced computer controlled inverters, auto sensing and switching, AC/DC input power controls, advanced LIP battery technology, SNMP status monitoring, and Load Balancing intelligent synchronized stacking.

Modular Backplane Stacking System

To provide a highly flexible and robust method for establishing an intelligent and integrated power management system within the space limited confines of shelter and vehicle based platforms, AJ’s Power Source has developed the first Rugged UPS BackPlane Stacking System. This system is based on a Plug-&-Play UPS BackPlane Module (BPM) that consolidates all of the Input/Output power connections and associated alarm and network connections facilitating the creation of an Integrated Power Management System (IPMS). The BPM hosts individual 1U mating slots for the plug-in and stack integration of PowerGrid^M UPS (AC or DC outputs), Battery Expansion, and DC Power Supply modules. Each slot in the BPM is agnostic and can mate with any of the available plug-in modules. Once a module has been plugged into an available slot, it is automatically integrated into the Intelligent Stacking System.

Consolidated Power

The Powergrid^M BackPlane Stacking System provides a complete mobile power solution is a single Rackmount footprint. This system is extremely small but packs a major punch with up to 6000 watts in only 5U of rack space. This system will provide clean controlled AC and DC power and full battery support from any vehicle, generator, or shore power source. Its flexible design can accommodate direct connections for supported equipment, connections for distributed Power Distribution Units (PDU) for distribution of power services within complex racking systems, or direct feed to a power breaker panel for in-shelter/vehicle power distribution.

Enhanced Cooling

The Powergrid^M BPM is designed with an extended air handling system for supercharging airflow into and out of the attached power modules within the stack. In combination with the air handling capability within each attached UPS, BXM, or AC/DC Converter, this extended cooling system allows a Powergrid^M BackPlane Stack to survive in tight shelter rack locations where hot spots and low air flow are common.

Enhanced Operational Availability

The Powergrid^M BackPlane Stacking System is designed for operational resiliency. By stacking UPS modules in a BackPlane configuration leveraging the Powergrid^M Load Balancing design, if a unit should fail, the operator is notified via SNMP based network signaling, and the adjacent units load share up to carry the load with no disruption to the attached equipment. By balancing the operational load and the IPMS configuration, both resilient and fully redundant configurations can be achieved. This unique capability allows the user to quickly configure a integrated power management system that will provide non-stop power services for critical applications. In addition, the Powergrid^M Product Line is designed to meet the MIL-STD 810 requirements for shake and vibration and to exceed 100,000 hours of non-stop operation without failure further extending the systems operational availability.

Ease of Maintenance

The Powergrid^M BackPlane Stacking System is designed for tight space-limited environments. The BPM slots are “Hot Swap” allowing for remove and replace activities regardless of operational mode. In addition, Powergrid^M hosts a unique “front access only” design for maintenance. Utilizing a stainless steel slip pin design on the rear bracket connections, UPS, BXM, or DC Inverter units can be removed and replaced (Plug-&-Play) from the front of the stack with no rear access required. For resilient operations, needed maintenance activities can be performed without powering down the IMPS or attached systems with a normal Mean-Time-To-Repair (MTTR) activity requiring less than 3 minutes without operational system down time. To further simplify maintenance activities, the fan assemblies within the BPM have been designed as a field replaceable module with an average MTTR of 5 minutes without power down.
