2. Diesel rotary uninterruptible power supply - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_rotary...

   Most forms of uninterruptible power supply (UPS) can be either powered by battery or flywheel energy. These are ready for immediate use at the instant that the mains electricity fails, but the relatively small and finite amount of stored energy they contain makes them suitable for short periods of use, typically in the order of a few dozen minutes to a couple of hours depending on the actual load.

3. Booster pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booster_pump

   The engine needs a fuel tank and an automatic controller that will start the booster pump when it is needed. A small auxiliary electrically-powered booster pump (called a "jockey pump") is often included in the system to maintain the sprinkler pipes at sufficient pressure, without requiring startup of the large diesel engine.

4. Stand-alone power system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand-alone_power_system

   There are three basic elements to the system - the power source, the battery, and the power management center. Sources for hybrid power include wind turbines, diesel engine generators, thermoelectric generators and solar PV systems. The battery allows autonomous operation by compensating for the difference between power production and use.

5. Diesel generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_generator

   Diesel generating sets are used in places without connection to a power grid or as an emergency power supply if the grid fails, as well as for more complex applications such as peak-lopping, grid support, and export to the power grid. [2] Diesel generator size is crucial to minimize low load or power shortages.

6. Fire pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_pump

   Fire pumps are powered most commonly by an electric motor or a diesel engine, or, occasionally a steam turbine. If the governing model building code requires backup power independent of the local electric power grid, a fire pump using an electric motor may utilize an emergency generator when connected via a listed transfer switch. Fire pumps ...

7. Emergency power system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_power_system

   Emergency power systems are installed to protect life and property from the consequences of loss of primary electric power supply. It is a type of continual power system. They find uses in a wide variety of settings from homes to hospitals, scientific laboratories, data centers, [1] telecommunication [2] equipment and ships. Emergency power ...
