A stable power supply is crucial in the industrial process, yet the power grid has slowly lost its reliability over time. Extreme weather events, from hurricanes in the Southeast to wildfires in California, have damaged and even destroyed power grids. Adding to the challenge, the increased use of solar and wind power can shift voltages and frequencies on the grid, making it all the more difficult to maintain a continuous flow of energy. Such events have triggered long-lasting power outages, consequently, driven facilities to completely shut off power to avoid any further catastrophes.
Power outages aren’t exactly ideal for businesses, which suffer from issues like lost system data, damaged equipment, and missed transaction opportunities. To avoid these consequences, facilities in industries, such as education, IT infrastructure, and specialty manufacturing, rely on backup power in industrial processes, enabling them to maintain operations for a certain period of time during an outage.
