DESCRIPTION
The new UPS series Protect Blue by AEG Power Solutions offers a highly efficient UPS solution for large data centers and IT applications in power ranges up to 4 MW.
Created for the future of power supply
In times of constantly increasing energy prices, Protect Blue helps reduce the costs for operation and cooling to a great extent through high efficiency.
Protect Blue is able to feed energy back into the grid and to communicate with intelligent power supply systems. This allows for alternative energy sources (available on demand) and for future energy demands a price oriented management.
Modular architecture, flexible performance and maximum redundancy
Protect Blue is based on a 250 kW power block architecture that can be configured with parallel operation to meet high power requirements (up to 4000 kW), n+1 redundancy operation is also possible. All “Power Blocks” are equipped with decentralized control mechanisms to increase operational safety.
High efficiency during online operation
Protect Blue is transformer-less, works with the latest 3 level IGBT technology and therefore typically reaches an efficiency level of above 95 % at a load of at least 40 %. Protect Blue combines all further advantages of this technology such as low circuit feedback <3 % and a high input power factor >0.99.
EFFICIENCY
Effective cost savings
The modular architecture of AEG PS’ Protect Blue UPS allows for great advantages in terms of installation:
- Reduce the size of electrical infrastructure
- Reduce the size of circuit protection devices
- Reduce the amount of cabling
AEG PS’ Protect Blue features a unitary input power factor. Together with its low harmonics, which provide full compatibility with generator sets, Protect Blue greatly contributes to reduced installation and running costs.
AEG PS’ Protect Blue delivers an up to 1 output power factor with kVA equals kW for resistive loads.
Double conversion efficiency above 95% is achieved through transformer-less topology which delivers improvement as copper heat losses are eliminated.
Running cost savings
Power module shedding
The multi-module configurable design of Protect Blue includes automatic adjustment of UPS capacity to meet immediate load demands by switching surplus module capacity to standby. This improves efficiency markedly at partial load and further reduces operating costs.
Reduction in air conditioning requirement
The extremely high efficiency achieved by AEG PS’ Protect Blue reduces the energy dissipated by the UPS (kW). This has the effect of reducing the demand and power consumption of the air conditioning system. AEG PS’ Protect Blue can deliver 100 % power at 40 °C operating ambient temperature without derating. UPS rooms equipped with Protect Blue do not require massive cooling to manage a constant 25 °C temperature, unlike some legacy UPS systems.
Savings
Maximum savings
With its outstanding efficiency of >95 % in VFI mode and 99 % in ECO mode, Protect Blue’s design greatly reduces the total cost of ownership from installation to end of operational life.
