[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Modeling an UPS



Phone the supplier and ask. Or find the spec sheet in the Internet.  I would guess that standby losses will be very small in relation to other energy users in the building. Basically, the battery will be on a auto recharge cycle and that is the only loss. The battery is big enough to supply the emergency power demand only and only for enough time for the emergency generator to startup. Probably 5 min or less.
