While you may know the upfront cost of buying a UPS, your initial investment doesn’t tell you the final price you’ll pay. Do you know what it will cost to run and maintain over its lifetime or what factors you need to consider? When considering purchasing a UPS, the broader Total Cost of Ownership should be considered. After all, even a single percentage improvement in operational efficiency could save you more than the UPS purchase price over its lifetime. Having the ability to scale the UPS power with the load demand will help optimise the UPS efficiency, reduce cooling needs, and prevent unnecessary wear on components.

With more and more adoption of renewable energy into our grids, the production and demand of energy are rarely in sync. The move away from fossil fuel generation has also reduced the inertia capacity of the grid and grid reserves are needed to supplement mandatory frequency regulation. Energy Aware UPS can recognise and compensate power demand or power export to stabilise the grid frequency. It provides a fast frequency response by utilising spare power and battery capacity without risking the critical load. Learn how this system enables data centres to contribute to the uptake of renewable energy, help stabilise the grid and in return generate revenues.

The global climate is changing due to the growing emissions of greenhouse gases. Consequently, the global energy sector is undergoing a fundamental transition, driven by electrification, decentralisation and digitalisation. The rapid growth of renewable electricity generation has meant that power systems and markets must be more flexible to balance greater volatility in generation and the increasing introduction of new loads. Learn how flexible solutions such as energy storage are the key to integrating these variables onto the system, maximising the use of renewables to reduce the CO2 footprint and contributing to the stability of the grid

It is widely recognized how the energy transition and electrification of economies can contribute to decreasing GHG emissions, especially in the building sector, where homes, businesses, and communities will play an increasingly important role in the future energy system, being able to produce and sell energy as well as consume it. By ensuring more renewable resources, behind-the-meter assets, and smart electric vehicle infrastructure can be added and integrate seamlessly into the energy mix, there is an opportunity to create more sustainable and resilient infrastructure while lowering energy costs.

A presentation covering SF6 and its impact on the environment, human safety and life cycle costs with overview of viable alternatives as presented in the latest technical report by EU Commission, Sept 2020.

Today, machines are being transformed from simple command receivers into "smart" agents within the framework of Industry 4.0. Information can flow in any direction, to and from the machine, to the Cloud or to local on-premise. In our webinar, you will learn how your business can better position itself for the future with digital concepts and reduced energy consumption and how a factory can leverage DC Networks that gets its power from a microgrid. Such networks reduce the losses of AC / DC conversions and facilitate the integration of Energy provided by renewable energy sources such as PV.

With full electrification and digitalisation, the economy will become even more dependent on a reliable electricity supply. At the same time, as the share of variable renewable energy sources increases, power generation will become more unpredictable. All this requires a network that is more than just a power distributor. In the future, we need to build a cellular grid based on distributed generation and dynamic use. Learn how to enable flexible and environmentally friendly power flow using solutions such as SF6-free MV switchgear, battery storage, and how energy-intensive data centres can provide grid services.

A presentation covering the background to the forms of separation and what it means for electrical safety in LV switchgear.

Continuous Thermal Monitoring (CTM) is a proactive approach to asset maintenance that tracks real-time temperature variations in electrical systems. By continuously monitoring thermal activity, CTM helps detect early signs of potential failures, minimizing downtime and preventing costly breakdowns. Accurate interpretation of temperature data is essential, as it provides insights into system health, enabling timely interventions. Understanding temperature trends ensures efficient operation and extends equipment lifespan, making CTM a critical component of predictive maintenance strategies in various industries.

The Circuit Breaker is over 100 years old, but the last 20 years has seen a radical evolution thanks to smaller and more powerful microprocessors.
