Back-up Power

Mains failure is a crucial consideration in many organisations. Letting ventilation, heating, cooling and production machines fall idle brings a risk of economic losses. While many companies use diesel emergency power generators as a backup, they incur high fuel and maintenance costs, as well as generating noise and emissions. An alternative solution is provided by battery-powered emergency power generators.

In the event of a power outage, backup power can be provided through compatible inverter solutions. In combination with selected SMA and KOSTAL inverters, TESVOLT FORTON and TESVOLT TAYTAN enable a reliable power supply for designated loads, ensuring continued operation even during grid outages.

• Avoid financial losses caused by power outages
• Significant cuts to operating costs
• Reduced noise pollution and emissions

Backup power is provided by a combination of a battery storage system and a compatible inverter. The battery supplies the stored energy, while the inverter takes over the power supply to selected loads in the event of a grid outage.

Typical applications include livestock farming, production and situations where uninterrupted cooling is required.

There is an interruption of a few milliseconds to a few seconds. Most electrical appliances do not even detect this interruption.

With emergency power, disconnection from the grid is always immediate with no grid assistance. With back-up power, disconnection from the grid only occurs after grid assistance has been provided (a requirement for PV installations). Disconnection from the grid is either automatic or manual.
