9. Example of Redundancy
Power redundancy means having backup power systems so operations continue during outages.
It includes UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) systems for immediate backup power, along with transfer switches and transformers to manage power flow.
For longer outages, organizations use backup generators, and critical sites may use more than one generator with separate transfer paths for higher reliability.
Multiple energy sources and multiple utility connections can also be used to reduce the chance of total power loss.
Main Idea
Power redundancy keeps systems running by using backup power sources and backup power paths.
