Uninterruptible power supply became a vital technology in the modern era. Through the advancement of technology, the development of this kind of technology seems to be more advanced in terms of size, efficiency, and the delivery of purpose and functionality. However, the compatibility of the device to a certain load remains to be the problem. With this, the researchers developed a power back-up system that can deliver the same purpose for any load including large and critical equipment. This technology was able to vary the storage system capacity, which also integrated the use of other energy sources such as new and renewable. The technology used motor control devices for the same purpose. To validate the effectiveness of the technology, the researchers used factorial design and comparative study to match with the performance of a commercially available uninterruptible power supply. In terms of performance with the commercially available uninterruptible power supply, the comparative study showed that there is no significant difference and thus the power back-up system is as efficient and equally reliable as the commercially available devices. Therefore, the power back-up system is highly adaptable, can substitute commercially available uninterruptible power supply, and can be an effective back-up system for large and critical equipment.
