PFF Group
Powerstar identified PFF Group’s aging transformers as a a potential power resilience risk, as well as an area where their energy efficiency could be significantly bolstered.
An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) uses a battery energy storage system to ensure there are no disruptions to the power supply from the grid. By switching to the battery power supply in less than 0.01 seconds, on-site electrical equipment experiences no disruption in the event of a blackout, brownout, or other type of power disruption. Therefore, production continues without interruption.
Small UPS systems can be applied to individual systems or critical equipment. However, in the case of a high-speed manufacturing facility, the complexity and inter-connectivity of numerous systems means multiple small UPS systems would need to be implemented. A full site-wide UPS system can be installed to greater effect to prevent all on-site equipment from being disrupted, enabling production to continue uninterrupted.
Importantly, a UPS system with the scale to provide site-wide protection can also provide manufacturers with more functionality above and beyond power resilience. With the right control software and a robust energy strategy, a battery energy storage system can efficiently and intelligently manage on-site energy flows to simultaneously support net zero carbon objectives.
