There are actually several types of UPSs, you just described one of the them, an inverter that is continously loaded and the battery is kept on standby. It is pretty good isolation from outside glitches. The other kind the inverter kicks in when the power drops below a certain level (and the power is switched out). This is the more common option.

You can purchase a brand new 500 VA UPS complete with battery for $70 or even less.

You could easily spend far more than that just getting a few circuit boards made for your project.

Unless you have some specifics in mind, you would be better off buying one that's already built.

Please guide me about this. I am in the first year of my studies.

Here is a link to a number of inverter circuits - http://www.discovercircuits.com/C/co-dctoac.htm.

With an inverter design in hand, all you need to do is make a charging circuit for the battery and a circuit to start the inverter when line power is lost.

These concepts are basic to a UPS. You might want to find some literature and become more familiar with them.

More inverter circuits, and more importantly the theories behind them, can be found in Power Supplies: Switching Regulators, Inverters & Converters by Irving Gottlieb. ISDN 0-8306-1665-9
