Piller Power

The company chose Piller for an upgrade to its power protection and back-up infrastructure using the latest UB-V UPS technology backed with POWERBRIDGE™ energy storage.

For a total critical load of 5MW power protection is based on 2xUBV2700 units (2.7MW each) vertical axis rotary UPS systems. Piller UPS system will protect both the critical load and an already installed Bergen cogeneration system thus guaranteeing the factory can continue running in island mode operation in case of grid brown out.

The use of the UB-V UPS delivers medium voltage protection which also improves performance by cutting power losses compared to a LV solution. The Piller UBV system in PCD configuration is able to remain connected to the network for up to 200 milliseconds, even with a 100% loss.

This means more than 86% of the anomalies are protected by the PCD Piller, without opening the input switch and remaining connected to the network.

Energy storage is based on Piller Powerbridge (PB60+) kinetic flywheel technology providing the ideal back up for the UPS with carbon free operation, long service life, reduced space use and low maintenance.

The 2 x 5MW Bergen engines also provide efficient heating/cooling to the factory. The combination of UB-V and Powerbridge provide a 20-year high performance solution with a small physical footprint.
