Put up with no ale being brewed in such a system (5-5)
I believe the answer is:
stand-alone
'such a system' is the definition.
(stand-alone system is a type of power supply)
'put up with no ale being brewed' is the wordplay.
'put up with' becomes 'stand' (both can mean to tolerate or bear).
'being brewed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'no'+'ale'='noale'
'noale' with letters rearranged gives 'alone'.
'stand'+'alone'='STAND-ALONE'
'in' acts as a link.
(Another definition for stand-alone that I've seen is " operate independently".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
