Feature - Why clever engineering counts

By Louis McGarry, Sales & Marketing Director at Centiel. Prices continue to rise, and all facilities managers need to look at controlling budget expenditure carefully. However, it’s better to make intelligent savings rather than just slashing costs. Cost based decisions typically compromise on quality and poor quality, inferior systems inevitably requiring frequent repair or replacement. And, let’s face it, an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) that protects the critical load to clients’ data is the last place where corners should be cut. The consequences of failure can be devastating for business and will permanently damage the business’s reputation. So how can budgets be managed better? Firstly, Centiel advises all its customers to increase their knowledge about the available options and works as trusted advisors to help organisations manage total cost of ownership (TCO) with that precise objective in mind. Budgets are never limitless, so Centiel supplies calculations to compare available options. For example, is it cheaper to repair or replace a legacy UPS system? Working through the data and providing estimates of savings on efficiency and comparative running costs helps clients make informed decisions about when a new UPS will essentially ‘pay for itself’. Centiel also looks at how existing infrastructure can be re-used. Modular UPS have significant advantages as modules with the same rating can be easily redeployed. Centiel’s safe-hot-swap functionality means it takes only a few minutes for a trained in-house engineer to swap an underused module to an area of higher load demand. With training, monitoring and clever re-deployment, significant savings on capital expenditure and running costs (OPEX) can be achieved by ensuring the UPS always works at the sweet spot of its efficiency curve. Centiel looks at site layout too. VRLA batteries run optimally at around 200°C compared to UPS which are comfortable operating up to 400°C. So, housing VRLAs separately in a naturally cooler room may reduce cooling costs. If this is unachievable, LiFePO4 batteries, which run optimally at much higher temperatures, are an option. Data centres with a resilience level of N+N can also manage their UPS systems by utilising both economy (eco) mode and true online double conversion (inverter) mode. Centiel’s latest UPS technology offers 97.6% efficiency in normal operation whilst its eco mode is 99%, so switching to eco mode will save over 2% in energy losses. With large UPS running 24/7 for 10 years, this adds up. Centiel has spent years developing solutions using the highest quality components so the system itself reduces a client’s expenditure over the long term. This is surely better than a client installing cheap, poor-quality equipment which is prone to failure. Centiel’s clients are safe in the knowledge their critical load is protected with Centiel’s multi-award winning UPS which offer class leading 99.9999999% availability and one of the highest efficiencies on the market. This, combined with Centiel’s support to train and help clients reduce the TCO through tried and tested techniques to maximise efficiencies, helps clients control costs through planning, design and clever engineering.

"One size does not fit all"

By Louis McGarry, Sales & Marketing Director, Centiel One of the most common questions I get asked is ‘What size UPS do you sell?’ The answer is that Centiel's multi-award winning, true modular UPS StratusPower can be made available in any size that the data centre needs. For facilities where the future load is uncertain, Centiel's team of trusted advisors work hand-in-hand with customers to design an appropriate power protection solution which is flexible to be able to scale up or down, depending on requirements. StratusPower has been developed by Centiel's experts to be the most customisable UPS product on the market. The company can be led by access limitation or limited space to achieve the most power in the tightest spaces. This means Centiel can customise the UPS to fit a range physical axis or even integrate into a containerised pod. StratusPower can also be configured to accommodate the electrical infrastructure whether that’s top and bottom cable entry or busbar connections. As a result, StratusPower can be installed into any type of data centre from edge facilities to multi megawatt operations. The only elements which remain fixed are the technological benefits of StratusPower which are always present regardless of the size of the installation and include: high efficiency, market leading availability, scalability, reliability and sustainability. StratusPower is also durable due to its topology and innovative hardware and firmware design, meaning components are not stressed and last longer. Instead of replacing consumables such as filter capacitors and cooling fans every four to six years, replacements are needed every 15 years, or just once during their entire 30-year design life. This is important as a data centre has a design life of typically 25 to 30 years. With proven '9 nines' availability, StratusPower effectively eliminates system downtime. Class leading 97.6% on-line efficiency minimises running costs, and true 'hot swap' modules eliminate human error and allowing modules to be tested fully while connected to the grid in the hot frame and disconnected physically from the load, increasing safety during upgrades. The key point is StratusPower is ready designed as the most advanced UPS available and yet the build and ultimate solution is totally flexible and dependent on actual needs. The infrastructure and racks accept modules of the same rating which means modules from a lightly loaded area can also be re-deployed to parts of the data centre needing more power protection. These scalable and flexible UPS cabinets therefore, enable future load changes to be easily accommodated by adding or removing UPS modules as required. A data centre will never outgrow a well specified StratusPower UPS, and it can be constantly rightsized to ensure it always operates at the optimal point in its efficiency curve. Further, StratusPower is also adaptable and has been designed to integrate with different energy management protocols, and is future ready to accept alternative energy sources. With its innovative topology, advanced energy management features, and unmatched scalability, StratusPower is the ultimate UPS system for data centre operators looking to optimise their power infrastructure. StratusPower is offered in a power range from 50 to 1,500 kW in one cabinet, and can be paralleled for 3,750 kW critical power protection. For more from Centiel, click here.

Schneider Electric announces circular economy UPS offer

Schneider Electric has announced the results of an industry-first, circular economy initiative for its range of APC Smart-UPS uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). First trialled in France in 2024 via a pioneering reduce, reuse and recycle programme, delivered in partnership with distributor Ingram Micro, Schneider Electric sought to increase the sustainability and circularity of its industrialised single-phase UPS solutions, while meeting customers’ demands for sustainable, responsible systems. The new solutions enable Schneider Electric’s French partners to address the competitive and fast-growing market for circular IT equipment - helping customers to reduce CO2 emissions associated with their critical systems, and with zero impact on the UPS’ operational performance, resiliency, or energy efficiency. With several high-profile French customers now utilising Schneider Electric’s circular UPS, including CGR Cinemas – one of Frances’ most notable leaders in the film industry – circular economy projects will also be extended to support partners and customers in key countries across Europe, including the UK and Ireland, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands and Germany (DACH). Further, with take-back services delivered with Schneider Electric's partner ecosystem in France, coupled with replacement, recycling and rigorous testing processes via Schneider Electric’s local repair centre, the new solutions form part of a complete circular economy offer to serve the French channel and end-user markets. They allow customers to utilise circular, responsible power protection products with the same level of quality and warranty as Schneider Electric standard UPS, while being less CO² emissive. “When we first set out to establish our circular UPS offer, our ambition was to ensure that there was no compromise on the efficiency, resilience and the sustainability of our industrial processes, and to create sustainable solutions that deliver the same level of quality and reliability our customers expect,” says Geoffrey Richard, Schneider Electric’s Circular Economy Director, France. “Through these new UPS’, our partners can meet customer demands for sustainable solutions safe in the knowledge that they are making a significant contribution to environmental sustainability, and that their customers will benefit from the same warranty as standard Schneider Electric Smart-UPS models.” “As one of the largest distributors in Europe, Ingram Micro is on a mission to help our partners and their customers run better, grow faster, and become more mindful of the impacts their actions have on people and our planet,” adds Sandrine Vigor, Sustainability Manager at Ingram Micro, France. “We’re delighted to have partnered with Schneider Electric to bring this industry-first initiative to life, and one which aligns so closely with the values of our IngramMicroESG programme perfectly - supporting our ambitions to help businesses become more sustainable, globally.” Serving the market for second life IT Research published by Canalys in 2024 found that 50% of partners expect to generate revenue from sustainability solutions this year, and that a further 92% of customers are seeking guidance from partners around sustainable product procurement processes, including circular IT systems. Schneider Electric’s new circular UPS offer not only support partners’ ambitions to capture growth opportunities associated with sustainable products but enables them to act as trusted partner for take-back, recycle and replacement services, while meeting local environmental and regulatory requirements such as the European Energy Efficiency Directive (EED), Paris agreement, and the United Nations (UN) climate objectives. According to the Circularity Gap report 2023, a transition to a global circular economy will allow us to fulfil people's needs with only 70% of the materials we now extract and use – moving human activity back within the safe limits of the planet. Schneider Electric’s own research showed that products from the circular economy can reduce CO2 emissions by an average of 35% compared to first-time manufacturing – a transformation which involves profound supply chain changes to recover products and equipment for reconditioning, repair or remove spare parts to repair others. From an environmental standpoint, Schneider Electric’s new circular UPS offer requires key processes which include taking back the end-of-life UPS, detailed diagnosis and testing, dismantling and refurbishment of all single critical parts and end of use components such as batteries, switches and LEDs, reassembly, and rigorous testing – all prior to repackaging and resale, with the same alignment on applicable standards, quality and warranty as a brand-new UPS. Further, as the UPS solutions require less primary extraction of raw materials, and a reduction of potentially harsh or hazardous substances, customers are also more resilient against fluctuations in the pricing and availability of raw materials, and importantly, can ensure that embodied CO² or Scope 3 emissions associated with the production process are far lower than that of a standard system. Delivering circular solution for CGR Group One high-profile adopter of Schneider Electric’s circular UPS solutions is The CGR Cinemas group, which operates 713 movie theatres across France. CGR is well-known as a major player in the French film industry, leading for several decades and is the second largest operator of cinemas in the region. A key part of its strategy is to create places where emotions, exchanges and experiences are lived and reinvented without respite, and it has developed a park of 45 premium ICE rooms in its cinemas, including the deployment of 4K laser projectors within its theatres and new comfort rooms for an ever more qualitative experience. Protecting its critical systems from power failures is vital to the customer experience, so it chose Schneider Electric’s new circular UPS offer not only for the quality of its innovative products, but because the company’s commitments to creating environmentally friendly technologies met CGR’s requirements for energy efficiency and sustainability. By using Schneider Electric’s circular Smart-UPS, CGR Cinemas will save 11T600 (11,600 tonnes) of CO² emissions, while safeguarding their critical equipment. Michael Cron, Logistics and Purchasing Director, CGR Group, notes, "Schneider Electric’s choice was natural, as their commitment to environmentally friendly products is in perfect harmony with our values of sustainability. Their innovative and eco-friendly approach, while meeting our high-performance requirements, is fully in line with our ambitions for environmental responsibility and efficiency. This choice, both technical and economic, can only be realised and sustained through common interaction and collaboration." For more from Schneider Electric, click here.

Oslo data centre implements advanced biofuel

STACK Infrastructure has announced it has successfully implemented the use of the advanced biofuel HVO100 (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) as a standby power source for a new data centre on its OSL04 campus in Holtskogen (Oslo), Norway.​  STACK is committed to reducing, and eventually eliminating, Scope 1 emissions from its data centres. After rigorous testing, HVO100 – the purest form of HVO – is now being utilised in lieu of fossil fuel-based diesel. Advanced biofuels such as HVO are typically made from vegetable oil or used cooking oil and generally produce fewer emissions than regular fuel. Research suggests 1,000l of HVO releases 195kg of carbon dioxide, compared to 3,600kg for the same amount of regular diesel. HVO100 has also been shown to produce approximately 33% lower levels of fine particles, 9% fewer nitrogen oxides, 30% fewer hydrocarbons, 24% lower carbon monoxide, and lower levels of polyaromatic hydrocarbons than traditional diese. Lower smoke and soot emissions were also recorded when using HVO.  “STACK understands that sustainability is a business imperative that shapes how we design, construct and operate critical infrastructure in an increasingly digital world,” says John Eland, CEO, STACK EMEA. “To address our Scope 2 emissions, we already utilise 100% renewable energy across our global data centre portfolio. Implementing HVO100 aligns with our commitment to reducing our Scope 1 emissions, marking a significant step toward a greener future.” “We are proud to be pioneering green initiatives in Norway,” adds Geir Vistung, Manager of STACK’s OSL04 Campus. “Our heat reuse program in Oslo is award-winning, we harvest rainwater to support our cooling systems at several of our data centre campuses, and the use of HVO100 is yet another example of industry-leading innovation.” In addition to this latest facility on the OSL04 campus, two more STACK data centres became operational this year in Oslo, increasing STACK's footprint in Norway by another 18MW. STACK’s continued expansion in the Nordics also includes a 72MW campus under development in Copenhagen and an 18MW campus under development in Stockholm. STACK’s EMEA presence spans additional key markets including Milan, Geneva, Zurich and Frankfurt, with an operational and planned portfolio amounting to more than 1GW across the region.

Vertiv introduces EnergyCore battery cabinets

Designed to meeting the urgent need for solutions supporting high-density computing in increasingly crowded data centre facilities, Vertiv, a global provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions, has introduced Vertiv EnergyCore battery cabinets. Factory assembled with LFP (Lithium-Iron-Phosphate) battery modules and Vertiv’s internally-powered battery management system, Vertiv EnergyCore cabinets are available globally and are qualified for use with most current and legacy three-phase Vertiv uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, including the recently launched Vertiv Trinergy. Vertiv EnergyCore cabinets are optimised for five minutes end-of-life runtime at 263kWb per each compact, 24” wide (600mm) cabinet, and operate across a wide temperature range, making them suitable for high-density environments. Lithium batteries are more compact and lighter than VRLA alternatives, allowing users to deploy fewer battery cabinets in most applications. An internal two-hole lug eliminates the need for a conduit box, and the cabinets require no on-site external control wiring, reducing deployment time and cost compared to traditional on-site assembly. The cabinets are equipped with Vertiv’s intuitive interactive touch screen HMI display to provide visibility and control of the cabinet, operating system, and the installed batteries. The integrated battery management system is powered by the Vertiv EnergyCore batteries, removing the requirement for an external power source and simplifying installation. It provides lifetime onboard data storage, tracking performance over battery charge-discharge cycles, service events, and enabling accurate state-of-health reports that can be used for warranty support and predictive analytics. Remote battery monitoring is available via Vertiv Alber Battery Xplorer Enterprise. “The proliferation of AI and other high-performance computing applications is putting a premium on the ability to deliver more power in smaller, hotter spaces,” says Milind Paranjape, Vice President of Energy Storage at Vertiv. “With the Vertiv EnergyCore battery cabinets, Vertiv is delivering exactly what its customers and the industry need – compact, high power energy storage capable of operating safely and optimally. Simply put, these battery cabinets are designed for the emerging mission-critical needs of high-density computing environments.” The modular design of Vertiv Trinergy allows each UPS core to be paired with dedicated Vertiv EnergyCore battery cabinets in a distributed architecture, enabling uninterrupted service for critical applications.
