Oasis of the Seas sets sail with Eaton UPSs on board Eaton supplied more than 20 double-conversion online UPSs for this giant of the seas. The Oasis’s sister ship, Allure of the Seas, due to be delivered by the end of 2010, will also rely on Eaton’s expertise to secure power distribution network on board. hat’s 361 metres long, 66 metres wide and attracts thousands of visitors every year? No, it’s not the Eiffel Tower with a 40-metre extension placed horizontally – it’s the world’s largest cruise vessel, Oasis of the Seas. This giant cruise ship features 16 passenger decks, encompasses 225,000 gross registered tons, accommodates 6,360 passengers and 2,100 crew members, and towers 72 metres above sea level at its highest point. Oasis of the Seas set sail on its maiden voyage on 5 December 2009, and as well as its massive physical size, the vessel has giant-sized demands in terms of power consumption: its total requirement for uninterruptible power can be as high as 2,000 kVA. The need for power protection devices is equally massive. “We supplied the cruise ship with more than 20 double-conversion online UPSs, ranging from 1 kVA to 350 kVA. The UPS delivery is without doubt the largest in our 40-year history of providing the marine industry with uninterruptible power systems,” says Rauli Lehtonen, Sales Manager at Eaton Power Quality. “The unparalleled size of the vessel and the variety of high-tech applications on board posed remarkable challenges in terms of power supply. One-hundred-percent reliable, continuous and clean power has to be guaranteed for the ship’s safety and cruising-related applications as well as commercial applications that affect customer satisfaction the most. We cannot risk losing power in applications such as navigation equipment and emergency power and lighting. A loss of load would result in highly dangerous situations at sea,” explains Lehtonen.

Success stories Reliable power leads to an enjoyable experience Conditions on board a ship differ significantly from those on shore: the power distribution network is ungrounded, and the electricity generated by the ship’s engines is not of uniform quality. That is why power needs to be double-converted for all critical applications. Ship vibration, shocks, inclination, temperature variation and very limited space present further challenges for the setup. In addition, every device securing safety and cruise-related systems needs to meet the stringent requirements set by various classification organisations. “Eaton’s answer is double-conversion online topology. All our marine UPSs incorporate this; it can protect critical marine equipment from all types of power interruptions that may occur in the ship’s supply network. To guarantee continuous, high quality power

to the most critical loads, the UPSs can be configured to provide parallel redundancy,” Lehtonen says. “Every Eaton marine UPS also has a hardened mechanical design, shock absorbers and a drip-proof cover. What’s more, they also employ the same global technical platform and the same core components as our standard UPSs. This enables the use of common spare parts and accessories and leads to effortless system upgrading, maintenance and service.” On board Oasis of the Seas, Eaton’s UPS systems protect critical applications including emergency lighting, navigation equipment, ship automation and HVAC applications as well as casinos, theatres and other entertainment venues against disruptive power interruptions. The delivery consisted of a set of Eaton 9395, 9390, 9355 and 9155 marine UPSs. “The project was a new milestone for us, as it saw the installation of the largest marine UPS we have ever delivered – the 350 kVA Eaton 9395 Marine UPS. The two 9395s on board Oasis of the Seas protect the most business-critical applications, including computer systems and energy-intensive cash registers,” Lehtonen explains. Eaton also supplied UPS batteries and

transformers as well as PowerVision management software for system performance monitoring. Assembling a colossal puzzle Oasis of the Seas is constructed of 181 grand blocks, each weighing approximately 600 metric tons. Each block was first finished as far as possible, including the installation of electrical devices, and then the blocks were brought together. This colossal construction puzzle took almost four years from contract to delivery. “One characteristic of marine projects is that the UPS systems cannot be installed as a whole in one go. Batteries have to be delivered later, a few months before the ship delivery, otherwise they would suffer during the long construction period in the shipyard, with all the dust and dirt. They would also be worn unnecessarily and their service life could not be guaranteed. In the case of Oasis of the Seas, we supplied the UPSs in early 2008 and the batteries in autumn 2009,” explains Lehtonen. Eaton has a long and trusted partnership with both the owner and builder of Oasis of the Seas. “We have worked with Eaton for over 10 years in all of our most demanding cruise ship

construction projects,” says System Coordinator Ville Talsi of shipbuilding group STX Europe, Turku, Finland. “Their high quality products and field services around the world have guaranteed an enjoyable cruise experience for passengers and uninterrupted working for the sophisticated technology on board our ships.” Eaton’s power protection solutions are employed in five of the Royal Caribbean International cruise line’s Voyager-class ships (completed in 1999–2002), three of its Freedom-class ships (completed in 2006–2008) and in both of its Oasis-class ships. Oasis of the Seas’ sister ship, Allure of the Seas, is due to be completed in late 2010. 

The vessel has giant-sized demands in terms of power consumption.

Oasis of the Seas introduces the cruise line’s new neighbourhood concept of seven distinct themed areas, including Central Park, Boardwalk – with the first ever carousel at sea –, the Royal Promenade, the Pool and Sports Zone, Vitality at Sea Spa and Fitness Center, Entertainment Place and Youth Zone.

Ukraine introduces high-tech stadium

Donbass Arena ready for UEFA Euro 2012

With a capacity of over 50,000, the newly opened Donbass Arena is the first football stadium in Eastern Europe designed and built to meet UEFAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Elite category standards. The real test for the arena will take place in summer 2012, when it will be one of the host stadiums for the UEFA Euro 2012â&#x201E;˘ championships.

pened in August 2009, Donbass Arena in Donetsk, Ukraine, is one of a kind both in terms of the cutting-edge technologies and multifunctional usage possibilities. In addition to football matches, it is designed to host concerts, conferences, exhibitions and corporate events of all kinds. The arena is also the first stadium in Eastern Europe to incorporate a huge variety of sophisticated IT applications. “All of the stadium’s functions are controlled through a highly advanced IT infrastructure. This guarantees a pleasant, user-friendly and safe experience for players and visitors alike. For example, rather than using cash in the public area of the stadium, visitors use a special payment card purchased at the entrance. By depositing an amount of money on the card, they can pay for various products and services quickly and reliably,” says Dmitry Teplyakov, IT Director of the Donbass Arena. “It is also a question of safety: the personalised card allows the visitor to access only the stadium sector – out of the 20 in total – in which their seat is located. Thus, in case of an emergency, we are able to evacuate the entire stadium in just eight minutes,” Teplyakov continues.

The most high-tech stadium in Eastern Europe

Donbass Arena was designed by Arup Sport, who also designed the Beijing National Stadium (the Bird’s Nest stadium) in China, among others. Inside the arena, the audience sits in a bowl rather than in four separate stands.

Sophisticated technology requires clean power Donbass Arena is not known as the most high-tech stadium in Eastern Europe without good reason. Inside the arena, there are 6,000 network ports installed and 1,200 kilometres of cabling. Wi-Fi communication is provided by 150 hotspots, and security is controlled by 450 CCTV cameras. Visitors can follow the games on two LED screens – each measuring almost 100 square metres – and via the almost 600 monitors installed throughout the arena. With such an extensive IT infrastructure to maintain, the stadium needs reliable power. “The mains supply fluctuation is a major challenge in Ukraine. That is why it was crucial to ensure stable power for all of the stadium’s essential applications. This was only possible with online double-conversion topology,” says Kari Koli, International Sales Director at Eaton Power Quality. Donbass Arena has several server and communication rooms that manage the stadium’s IT infrastructure. A total of 35 midand high-range Eaton UPSs provide uninterruptible power for the stadium’s IT, safety and security, payment and communication systems. “We equipped the main server room with three 80 kVA double-conversion Eaton 9390 UPSs. These units provide sufficient capacity to power the entire IT infrastructure in case of mains power loss. They also provide N+1 redundancy,” Koli says. Other server and communication rooms employ a total of six scalable Eaton BladeUPS® units. With the ability to expand and provide backup power from 12 kW to 60 kW

in a standard 19-inch rack, the modular BladeUPS grows in line with the needs of the IT applications. A total of 26 15/30 kVA Eaton 9355 UPSs protect the stadium’s individual security sectors and communications screens from power disturbances. “In an emergency situation, the UPSs ensure that the security system continues to function, including emergency lights and monitors that show directions to the nearest exit. The stadium’s 20 security sectors also provide redundancy for each other, meaning that in the event of a power loss in one sector, continuous power is guaranteed for the security system’s needs,” Koli explains. Local service the deciding factor When choosing a power quality partner, the amount of local support the partner can provide is a key factor. “The success of the power quality supplier is measured by the level of service it is able to provide locally. We worked closely with our main partner and distributor Megatrade in Kiev as well as our local reseller and authorised service partner DonbassInformCommunicationService (DICS) in Donetsk right from the start of the project. The local aspect was one of the factors that tipped the balance in our favour,” says Koli. “The feedback we have received from Donbass Arena so far has been very complimentary. In a project of this scale, it is of utmost importance that all equipment is delivered and installed on schedule. This project demonstrated our ability to manage demanding IT projects and meet the customer’s expectations,” says Oleg Metelin, Technical Director at DICS. 

Securing power on the high seas

Eaton has 40 years of experience in supplying the marine and offshore industry with uninterruptible power systems. This strong expertise allows Eaton to provide well-designed technology and trustworthy service to its customers worldwide.

ow can continuous and reliable power be guaranteed on a vessel that sails across oceans, often being exposed to harsh environmental conditions? What if critical equipment were to fail due to power fluctuations? Eaton’s power protection professionals have pondered these challenges for decades. “The first characteristic of an offshore power supply is the distribution network’s unique architecture: on board a ship – or on an oil or gas rig – the network is ungrounded, which sets diverse requirements for power protection devices compared with onshore applications. Second, a vessel is constantly exposed to vibration, shocks, and extreme changes in inclination and temperature. The third challenge is the limit on space: power protection equipment must be packed into a very small space. Fourth, all equipment protecting safety and cruising-related systems – such as navigation and emergency power – has to comply with international classification requirements. Last but not least, we also have to address the service and maintenance of the on-board power protection systems sailing the seas of the world,” says Teppo Henttonen, Special Systems Manager at Eaton Power Quality, EMEA. Today, many ships are required to have an inventory of hazardous materials, also known as the Green Passport, which is a detailed inventory of all the materials present in a ship’s structure, systems and equipment that are potentially hazardous to human health or the environment. “It is a great asset for us as a system supplier if we can verify all the materials used in our product manufacturing. Every piece

should be traceable from the design stage right through to decommissioning,” Henttonen says. Eaton’s solution: a global UPS platform Eaton’s marine and offshore UPSs incorporate double-conversion online topology to protect applications against power disturbances. This topology is also the only one that can meet the requirements of the highest performance class, VFI-SS-111. Eaton UPSs are built into one cabinet that houses all the electronics – the rectifier, the inverter, the static bypass and the microprocessor control – and allows the entire system to be controlled as one integrated device. As well as offering higher reliability, this also saves valuable space. The highest availability possible is achieved by parallel redundant configuration. “A unique feature of our marine and offshore UPSs is that they employ the same global technical platform as our standard UPSs. The use of a common platform brings significant benefits for our customers: as the UPS units have similar features and behave in a uniform way, product upgrades are a lot easier to perform. It also means that standard spare parts and accessories can be used, allowing us to offer improved service and maintenance capabilities to our customers worldwide,” Henttonen emphasises. Eaton provides marine and offshore customers with various-sized UPS solutions. The smallest, single-phase systems range from 1 to 3 kVA and are type-approved by Det Norske Veritas (DNV), meaning that they have been verified as suitable for marine use and

are ready to use ‘out of the box’. Mid-range systems cover the 8–160 kVA power range. Single-phase systems are available with 8–10 kVA, three-phase input/singlephase output systems with 8–30 kVA and three-phase systems with 8–160 kVA power ratings. Large three-phase systems provide power from 225 to 1100 kVA. Furthermore, all three-phase UPS systems can be tailored to meet the characteristics of the project in question as well as the customer’s specific needs. The use of a global UPS platform allows tailor-made solutions to be offered with reasonable pricing. Worldwide network benefits the customer Many marine and offshore equipment suppliers operate locally with local shipping companies and ship builders. Eaton is one of the industry’s global players. “A remarkable proportion of today’s vessels and oil rigs are constructed in China and South Korea. Thanks to our solid, global sales and partner network, we are able to serve marine customers wherever they may be in the world,” says Henttonen. “Customers appreciate proven project knowledge that includes globally shared processes as well as similar documentation and service level,” he continues, emphasis13

ing the importance of project management skills. “Our service network, which consists of more than 1,200 service professionals and a number of authorised service partners worldwide, ensures that support is only as far away as the nearest port. We can provide service quickly and with the same high quality wherever the ship is constructed or wherever it docks.” Eaton supplies marine and offshore UPSs to more than 100 vessels around the world every year, including cruise liners, ferries, ice breakers, LNG carriers, cable ships and oil rigs. In addition to UPS products, Eaton offers battery systems, cabinets and racks, power converters as well as power management and monitoring software. 

A new member of Eaton’s marine systems product family, the Eaton 9130 Marine UPS, will be launched in spring 2010.

With a power rating of 1, 2 and 3 kVAs and double-conversion online design, the new Eaton 9130 Marine UPS is ideal for securing reliable power with high availability for on-board applications such as voyage data recorders, bridge and navigation equipment as well as automation and computer systems.

The 9130 Marine UPS, with its modern tower design, is based on the same technical platform as the standard Eaton 9130 UPS introduced in late 2008. It will replace the Eaton 9120 Marine UPS. “When developing the 9130, it was obvious from the start that a marine version would follow at a later date. The 9130 Marine UPS incorporates the same technologically advanced features as the standard model plus all the necessary marine modifications, such as vibration absorbers and brackets for easier installation on board,” says Teppo Henttonen, Special Systems Manager at Eaton Power Quality. As with the standard 9130, the 9130 marine version provides more watts to protect more equipment with its high power factor of 0.9. It uses Eaton’s ABM® technology to optimise battery service life and reliability. The 9130 has an event log and a graphical LCD user interface which supports multiple languages, allowing easy use and system monitoring. The flexible configuration options make the 9130 Marine UPS suitable for many different types of environments. “The DNV (Det Norske Veritas) type approval offers significant benefits for the customer. As the 9130 requires no additional testing or qualifications, it is ready to use out of the box,” Henttonen points out. The UPS delivery includes an installation kit containing all the necessary parts and instructions, so the system can be installed easily. The Eaton 9130 Marine UPS will be available in spring 2010. 
