20090126008 | ADAPTIVE CAPACITY POWER SUPPLY - Methods and systems are disclosed for automatically tracking and controlling the capacity ratings of UPS units. The methods and systems provide a central server or repository for storing the capacity ratings, grant kVA and grant code authorized for each UPS unit along with a unique security key for each unit.
