Optimising power solutions
WORLDWIDE , THE TRENDS of more digitisation as well as manufacturing and data storage boosts are driving the demand for uninterruptible power supply technologies.
As such, the global industrial UPS systems market size reached US$2516mn in 2022, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.9% this year, according to research company Market Watch. According to Omdia’s UPS hardware market tracker and analysis of 2022, there’s an increased demand for threephase UPS in Europe, Middle East, and Asia (EMEA) from markets outside of cloud, colocation, and telco. These include retail, wholesale, healthcare, manufacturing and other industries. By 2026, the threephase UPS market in EMEA is expected to grow from US$1.66bn in 2021 to US$2.07bn, a CAGR of 5.84%.
Meanwhile, companies like Schneider Electric, EATON, Emerson, ABB, Toshiba, and Delta are among the companies poised to take a major share of the market, said Market Watch.
But these companies are also innovating solutions to increase UPS efficiency. Schneider Electric, for example, has introduced the Easy UPS 3Phase Modular. It is designed to safeguard vital loads including edge computing apps, convergent IT, network closets, and data centres. This system also includes cuttingedge technological components such a highefficiency design, intelligent battery management, realtime monitoring, and control capabilities, making it one of the most affordable and energyefficient UPS options on the market.
In addition, scheduled downtime is significantly reduced through selfdiagnosing thirdparty certified Live Swapable power modules and static switches. This can aid in increasing reliability and availability. It is easy to select, configure, install, and maintain, which makes the deployment process seamless.
In February this year, Vertiv launched the Liebert GXE, an online doubleconversion singlephase UPS, which is available in 6 and 10 kVA power ratings in tower or rackmount configuration. More recently, the company announced key enhancements to its dedicated offering for channel distributors and resellers. Its Liebert ITA2 features a true online double conversion technology, a unity power factor and an extremely compact rack/tower design. Compared to singlephase systems, threephase UPS allow higher power capacity and up to 99% efficiency in ECO mode.
The system is intended to supply reliable power to edge computing applications and dispersed IT networks in a variety of market sectors, including corporate, government, manufacturing, finance, education, and retail. For countries and organisations that use 230V solutions, the product is accessible worldwide It is also now delivering from stock in EMEA.
Meanwhile, Indian manufacturer of endtoend strategic power solutions Best Power Equipments (BPE), is expanding to the UAE. BPE caters to various industries including government, industrial and plant automation, IT/ITES, banking, healthcare, financial institutions, corporate sectors, small and medium businesses, and data centres.
BPE is launching its Modular UPS systems, ranging from 300kW to 1000kW, parallelable, and scalable up to 8 MW. It is equipped with lithiumion battery technology. ■
