The widespread of COVID-19 disease have been causing exponential growing of coronavirus patients that have outnumbered the hospital beds and overwhelmed the healthcare system across the world. In Canada, the number of total confirmed COVID-19 patients has increased to 14,426 by April 5, 2020. As a result, Ontario, B.C., Quebec provincial governments have begun building makeshift hospitals and temporary mobile clinics in preparation for rise in COVID-19 patients. As some of these new facilities have limited or no existing power, it is urgent to develop a portable Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system to ensure uninterrupted operation of ventilators and other medical appliances that are critical for saving patients' lives. In collaboration with Portable Electric Ltd., Dr. Jian Liu's team at the University of British Columbia will design a mobile, reliable, and safe UPS system that can be rapidly deployed to anywhere, at anytime to provide the highest-quality power for life-saving medical appliances, such as ventilators. This project will survey the power and energy needs from ventilators in hospitals, select the optimal battery type and chemistry for the ventilator application, and design and prototype the UPS system in Portable Electric's production line in Vancouver. Development of this mobile UPS system will deliver a reliable and plug-and-play power solution to relief efforts amidst COVID-19 pandemic, and help Canada to be more prepared in the case of future outbreaks and in other disaster-relief settings, such as earthquakes, wildfires, and hurricanes.

COVID-19疾病的广泛疾病一直在导致冠状病毒患者的指数增长，这些患者人数超过了医院病床，并且不堪重负的全球医疗保健系统。在加拿大，到2020年4月5日，确认的CoVID-19患者的总数已增加到14,426。结果，魁北克省政府安大略省已经开始建立临时医院和临时移动诊所，为199名患者的增长做准备。由于这些新设施中的某些设施有限或没有现有电源，因此迫切需要开发便携式不间断的电源（UPS）系统，以确保呼吸机和其他医用器具的不间断操作对于挽救患者的生命至关重要。与Portable Electric Ltd.合作，不列颠哥伦比亚大学的Jian Liu博士的团队将设计一种可移动，可靠和安全的UPS系统，可以随时迅速部署到任何地方，以提供为挽救生命的医疗用具（例如频通剂）提供最高质量的功率。该项目将调查医院中呼吸机的功率和能量需求，为通风机应用选择最佳电池类型和化学，并在温哥华的Portable Electric生产线中设计和原型UPS系统。该移动UPS系统的开发将在19日大流行期间提供可靠的插件电源解决方案，以减轻努力，并在未来的爆发和其他灾难 - 浮雕环境中，例如地震，野火和飓风。
