The DPA Concept
The new approach to protecting critical applications and the environment
Advantages:
Advantages:
- Scalability
- Serviceability
- High availability
DPA – Maximum availability
Modular UPS design based on parallel architecture does not guarantee the highest power protection for critical applications. The success of a modular system depends largely on the design of the parallel architecture and on the level of intelligence of the individual modules.
Modular systems based on Decentralised Parallel Architectures (DPA) – as opposed to Centralised Parallel Architectures (CPA) – are free of single points of failure. Therefore such modular systems maximise system uptime.
Newave’s modular DPA is built of self-contained modules that include the entire UPS hardware and software; hence, it eliminates all the common parts that are potential single points of failure.
A DPA module includes distributed CPUs, distributed control panels, distributed power units and distributed static bypass switches. Even the batteries are separately configured for each module, which makes the parallel system fully and truly redundant.
The DPA parallel technology is based on the Multi-Master Technology and the Majority Decision-Making Principle. The Multi-Master Technology minimises the cross-currents between the modules and ensures equal load-sharing of the individual modules at all times. In the unlikely event of a master module fault, the next module will become master, and the system will continue to share the load perfectly. In the case of an external event such as a short circuit or a mains failure, the Majority Decision-Making Principle comes into operation. Each module will individually detect the event and then decide which source (inverter, mains or battery) is the safest. Based on the majority decision of the modules, the correct action is taken. The optimum parallel UPS solution is only possible with systems that are equipped with Multi-Master Architecture and are based on the Majority Decision-Making Principle, such as the DPA from Newave.
DPA from Newave reaches maximum availability thanks to its intelligent modules.

DPA – High level of flexibility
Critical applications continuously change their power requirements, which often increase with time. Managing those changes is a challenge for UPS manufacturers when designing a truly scalable UPS to which modules can be added without transferring the load to unreliable raw mains. UPS systems based on DPA allow for incremental expansions whilst ensuring redundancy at all times. DPA permits the infrastructure size to be scaled to align with present IT requirements. It is possible to start with just a few modules and add to them as required in an easy and safe way.
True safe-swap and safe-scale modularity enables the safe replacement or insertion of UPS modules into the UPS system without the need to transfer the critical load onto raw mains or to remove power from the critical load. The ability to safe-swap modules significantly reduces the system’s mean time to repair (MTTR) and simplifies system upgrades. Thanks to the unique compact design and low weight (10 kW = 18.6 kg, 20 kW = 21.5 kg) of the DPA UPScale modules, inserting additional modules or replacing existing ones during operation is easy and can be performed by a single technician.
DPA – Lowest total cost of ownership
Saving costs and optimising capital deployment are top priorities, and IT-facility managers must make effective investments to increase the efficiency of their IT systems. An infrastructure that uses cost-effective and flexible modular power protection solutions with significantly lower operating costs will create competitive advantages in the medium term. The DPA UPScale offers the lowest cost of ownership of any UPS system by offering energy efficiency, scalable flexibility and highest availability due to true redundancy and easy serviceability.
