Priority Loads
Identify the essential equipment and the equipment that can be shut down during an outage.
EMERGENCY POWER AND AUTONOMY
We determine the scope of energy continuity based on what needs to remain operational: the network, critical workstations, safety equipment, or business systems. A UPS, a battery, and a solar installation do not serve the same purpose.
The Issues
The challenge is not just about having a backup power source. It’s about knowing which loads to prioritize, how long to maintain power, how to protect the equipment, and how to keep the system operational over time.
Scope of the Project
The project may involve a critical workstation, a network rack, a site, or a set of equipment. The first decision is to determine what needs to be protected as a priority.
Identify the essential equipment and the equipment that can be shut down during an outage.
Consider power, battery life, charge cycles, environmental factors, and scalability.
Install the panels, batteries, inverters, protective devices, and connections according to the selected scope.
Check the system's operation, the condition of the batteries, and the maintenance requirements.
Our Approach
Useful backup time must be measured against an actual load. We determine the solution from the equipment, operating needs, and outage scenario to be managed.
Identify which processes are running, which are critical, and which should or should not restart automatically.
Specify the desired duration, the frequency of outages, and the operating conditions.
Compare inverters, batteries, solar panels, and backup power supplies based on your actual needs.
Verify the failover, the expected uptime, and the necessary post-installation monitoring.
WHAT NEEDS TO BE SIZED
The solution may include solar panels, batteries, inverters, protective devices, and a backup power supply. The choice depends on the load, runtime, location, and maintenance requirements.
Why Spiritech3S
Power outages are managed differently depending on the site, the available equipment, and the desired level of autonomy. Spiritech3S connects power to the systems it is designed to maintain, including the network, servers, and video surveillance.
Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the equipment, its power consumption, and the required backup time. It is usually better to begin with priority loads than to size a system without measured requirements.
Yes, depending on the operating scenario and site configuration. The design must account for generation, storage, loads, and maintenance conditions.
Review the usual duration and frequency of outages, along with the time required to shut down or restart critical equipment safely.
