Critical Power Supplies and Flowbattery announce collaboration agreement


C


ritical Power and Flowbattery are pleased to announce a collaboration agreement that will see both companies challenging for the UPS market sectors such as flywheel UPS, Fuel cell UPS and large Data Centre UPS installations.


Flow Battery Customers, including National Grid have installed compressed air batteries instead of conventional lead-acid batteries,


Developed and supplied by UK-based Flow


Battery, the most recent installation was at Elland Substation, West Yorkshire for National Grid. This follows on from the previous four years during which compressed air backup has been used successfully at other National Grid Substation locations in both the UK and the US.


The system concept is to supply a fully integrated package,


cylinders to drive a scroll generator,


using compressed air which


instantly delivers up to 4kW of AC or DC backup power, with a run time determined by the amount of air available via the cylinder packs.


Flow Battery General Manager James Derby said: “The CAB system is designed to last for at

durable and lower maintenance than For example, all of the


customer units installed have operated with zero maintenance requirements and 100% reliability.


“Another major advantage of compressed air solutions is that they are tolerant of a wide range of environments and can be mounted outdoors,

requirements. The system shown in the above picture shows that the installation has been virtually plug-and-play, freeing up valuable space in the customer premises and has negated the need for other considerations such as ventilation and Ex engineering.”

orri Ltd has supplied and installed two high efficiency Borri B9000FXS


300kVA (Uninterruptible Power Supply) UPS systems at the latest data centre facility on the Isle of Man.


Working on behalf of the UK’s leading independent engineering, IT and facilities services business, NG Bailey, which was recently awarded the contract to deliver a 100 rack, Tier 3 data centre for Manx Telecom, Borri Ltd was chosen for its extensive experience across the data centre field.


The company’s expertise has played an integral part in ensuring that the first phase of the new co- located data centre facility built for Manx Telecom was completed on time and in budget.


Chosen to work in complete harmony with other associated equipment and for their best in class performance, efficiency and build quality, the Borri B9000FXS UPS systems were FAT tested and installed within an impressive five week period.


To ensure that one UPS system always remains operative in the unlikely event of a UPS failure, Borri Ltd elected for the B9000FXS UPS units to be installed in a parallel redundant configuration, achieving a fully redundant system. Certified by TÜV NORD Cert as one of the most efficient and resilient transformer based UPS systems on the market, Borri’s B9000FXS UPS units have a negligible effect on the mains supply as they come with IGBT (Isolated Gate Bipolar Transistor) rectifiers as standard, which provide less than three percent harmonic distortion and when operating in smart online mode can achieve up to 98% efficiency.


By selecting a UPS solution that complements the other electrical equipment on site, Manx Telecom will be able to benefit from substantial efficiency savings. This, coupled with the added efficiency gains from the UPS technology itself means that further savings can be expected through an up to 50% reduction in generator size.

AMF panels in action A


recent shentongroup project showed the use of AMF panels to meet the requirements of a Bristol based IT company. The business required a cost effective relocation of their existing back up power supply. For an IT company, power continuity is of critical importance. This job required the relocation of an existing 3 phase generator. The new location requirements meant that the existing 3 phase generator had to be modified to support the single phase load at the new site. The new site conditions meant that the generator also required adaptation to support multiple mains supply. For each mains supply you need an automated transfer switch and associated cabling, so the AMF panels can sense mains supply and start the back-up generator, in the event of a failure. On site there were two mains supplies to be supported, one of which was split into two, supporting a total of three separate buildings. This allowed shentongroup to use just two AMF panels keeping costs at a minimum.
