What rotation procedure can be used for UPS battery strings during the timeframe when there is low part-load conditions that do not require all redundant UPS systems to be used and still allow for N+1 capacity conditions (i.e., five modules installed, three needed for N+1 because of part-load operating conditions that will last for 6 to 12 months or more)?
