What can we help you with?
From the plan to the plant and the operation afterwards – choose what fits your situation.
Contingency
Emergency power is only as good as the plan behind it.
The contingency plan sets out which functions must keep running, for how long, and who does what. Only when that is decided can the emergency power system be sized: autonomy, redundancy and which loads must be supplied.
Our partner Bluecircle prepares and reviews contingency plans based on the technical supply.

Rotary UPS / DRUPS
UPS without batteries – standby power built in.
A DRUPS combines UPS, kinetic energy storage and diesel engine in one machine. The flywheel bridges the gap until the engine has taken over.

NEW · HITEC
HITEC PowerPRO3 – new generation DRUPS
New kinetic energy module with 25 % more energy, Cummins G-Drive engine and certified for 100 % HVO. Succeeds the PowerPRO2700 in the same footprint.
UPS systems
Power without interruption – from rack to data centre.
An online UPS converts the power twice, so the load is always supplied from the inverter – including the moment the grid drops out. The batteries carry the load until the grid returns or the generator has taken over.

Two sources, one load – transfer in at most 4 ms.
A static transfer switch gives equipment with one power supply access to two independent sources. Borri STS 300 transfers with thyristors in at most 4 ms – and inhibits the transfer if the fault is in the load, so the healthy source is not hit.
- ≤ 4 mstransfer time
- 100–2000 A3-phase, 3- or 4-pole
- > 99 %efficiency
The load is supplied from the preferred source. The STS monitors voltage and frequency on both sources at all times.
Source 1 moves outside tolerance. The thyristors on source 1 turn off before source 2 turns on (break-before-make), so the sources are never connected. The transfer takes at most 4 ms.
The fault is downstream of the STS. A transfer would only move the short circuit onto source 2. The STS therefore inhibits the transfer, and the fault is cleared by the protection – source 2 stays healthy.
Generator plants
The long autonomy: as long as there is fuel.
The generator plant takes over once batteries or flywheel have bridged the gap. We size it for the load, the start sequence and the run time the contingency plan requires – and test it under real load with load banks.

Removes the engine heat – sized for the room temperature and air flow.
mtu Series 4000 is approved for HVO to EN 15940 without modification.
Converts the engine shaft power into electricity for the transfer switch and distribution.
Emergency power systems
An emergency power system is the whole chain.
Mains, transfer switch, UPS, batteries, generator and distribution must work as one system. The weakest link sets the uptime – which is why we design, test and service the chain as a whole.

Fuel cells · PowerUP
POWER-UP UPSystem: 19″ rack backup on hydrogen.
UPSystem combines PowerUP’s UP3K fuel cells and batteries in a 19″ rack for indoor or outdoor use. On a power failure the batteries supply the load immediately, and the fuel cell takes over within seconds – with no CO₂ emissions on site.
- MillisecondsThe battery buffer supplies the load
- SecondsThe fuel cell starts and takes over
- Mains returnThe system switches off automatically

Compliance
Compliance and ISO 9001: the plant must be documented.
ISO 9001 requires controlled processes and traceability. For emergency power, this means every delivery, test and service visit must be verifiable – against the standards the plant was built and tested to.
- ISO 9001Quality managementControlled processes, traceability and continual improvement.
- DS/HD 60364Electrical installationsThe low-voltage installation the plant is connected to.
- DS/EN IEC 62040-3UPSPerformance and test methods for UPS systems.
- ISO 8528Generator setsGenerating sets driven by reciprocating engines.
Commissioning
Proven in operation – before operations depend on it.
Commissioning documents that the plant works as designed: from the individual components to the whole system under load. Our partner Bluecircle carries out commissioning of data centres and critical installations.
- Level 2Pre-functional and component verification
- Level 3Functional and performance testing
- Level 4Integrated Systems Testing (IST)
Service
A plant is only as good as the service behind it.
- 24/7/365Emergency service – one phone number all year.
- ≤ 4 hTo on site when it matters.
- PlanPreventive maintenance finds faults before downtime.
- LoadbankLoad testing documents the plant under real load.
Thermography
Heat reveals the fault – before it becomes an outage.
A loose connection or an overloaded component heats up long before it fails. Thermography finds the fault while the plant is running. Our partner Bluecircle carries out thermography of switchboards and critical electrical infrastructure.
- Switchboards and connections
- UPS outputs and bypass
- Emergency power batteries
Server room cleaning
Clean is measured, not seen.
Dust settles in filters, fans and cooling surfaces and makes components run hotter. Technical cleaning with particle measurement to ISO 14644-1 documents that the room is clean. Our partner Bluecircle cleans server rooms and data centres – also on subscription.
