backup power source
this ensures a supply of electricity in the event of any failure of the main source of electricity. Backup sources can be UPS battery systems, characterized by a quick start-up but only lasting a limited time. Another is a local power plant or a diesel unit, using a synchronous generator and diesel combustion engine, which can run for an unlimited time, but the onset of electricity production can be calculated in minutes.
