As the center of thought leadership in the mission critical space, Mission Critical offers this blog space as a service to the industry. Bloggers in this space comprise industry figures who contribute expertise, guidance, and knowledge to the industry.
A couple of months ago, I addressed the increased acceptance of shorter runtimes for UPS in data centers and other mission critical applications, but what was not discussed is why this trend is gaining steam.
Much of the discussion at VERGE San Francisco and Power Analytics' 20/20 Vision-Driven Power Conference in October centered on a familiar topic in our industry: the need to develop grid-scale energy storage to make renewable energy-based microgrids successful, and the billions of dollars in potential profit that await the companies that can successfully do so.
Data centers and other mission critical applications have long relied on several minutes of ride-through time using traditional batteries for their UPS systems.
