Grid Scale UPS: Enables Renewable Energy Usage and System Flexibility

Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) are deployed in data centers to minimize disruptions caused by unstable electric supply, enhancing data center reliability. However, new technologies allow UPS to interact with the electric grid, helping in the pursuit of more system flexibility, and an even more efficient data center. Based on operations, priorities, and opportunities in the data center industry, we expect UPS interacting with the electric grid to be an important arena.

Join Moises Levy, Ph.D, of OMDIA, and Arturo DiFilippi, Ph.D., of Vertiv, to learn more about:

• A high-level understanding of UPS technology
• Benefits for data centers
• A forecast and insights from a recent survey by OMDIA
