Keeping utilities companies operational is a complex task. The demand for electricity, gas and water is constant, and consumers expect lights to turn on, water to flow, and boilers to ignite at any time of day or night.

A power failure can affect the utilities industry the same as any household or business. However, a power failure in an electricity plant, water treatment works, or gas refinery could have catastrophic consequences for hundreds of thousands of people. In addition, a power outage or sudden voltage surge could damage sensitive IT systems and storage equipment, resulting in data loss. Utilities companies cannot afford a few seconds of disruption to mains power.

An uninterrupted power supply is key to keeping utility companies “switched on”. A UPS system ensures that there is zero transfer time from mains power to battery power. This allows critical applications to continue working until power is restored. During a more prolonged power outage, the UPS solution will seamlessly switch to a backup generator to safeguard critical loads.

Secure Power Solutions for Utilities Providers

Constant Power

Secure Power provides UPS solutions to utilities suppliers to ensure a constant power supply to critical applications. We understand the complexities facing the utilities industry in improving energy efficiency, lowering carbon emissions and reducing operating costs. That is why we work with electricity, water, and gas suppliers to develop customised emergency power solutions.

Renewable Sources

With the push to use more renewable energy sources, finding suitable UPS solutions becomes even more critical. Using green energy means that UPS units must integrate with energy efficient emergency generators, wind turbines, solar contents and energy storage devices.

Partners

Secure Power partners with leaders in the UPS industry. We can provide UPS solutions from industry leaders such as Schnieder Electric, Riello, Eaton, APC, Socomec and Vertiv. Our approach is to develop complete power protection strategies to deliver backup power for any size of utilities provider. This also allows us to develop efficient, versatile, resilient, and cost-effective solutions to meet our clients’ specific needs and budgets.

Efficiency

In order to reduce the total cost of ownership, Secure Power has a comprehensive range of UPS maintenance programs. Preventative maintenance ensures that batteries run efficiently and provide the level of autonomy required. Additionally, checking for hotspots and replacing parts that show signs of wear prolongs the life of the UPS system. This results in significant cost savings to the client and gives peace of mind that emergency backup power is always available.
