On a PC hibernation saves a copy of your desktop and makes a snapshot
of what all is running when you shut down. It then loads that
snapshot when you restart the computer.
When you click standby it starts to power down all sorts of things,
but it is still running, albeit in a much reduced mode. It drains
your battery.
I have a tendency to hibernate my laptop when I am moving it from
place to lace (home-office-home-location)
I do like to shut it down every now and then to make sure all updates
get installed etc. Putting you laptop into hibernation will not make
updates load.

Hibernation results in shut-down, and its what your UPS commands
when the battery is running out and the grid power is not yet back
on. Stand-by won't provide the required result in that case.
