GE Industrial Systems - UPS
High reliability based on Parallel-UPS creates high
operating cost

Why ?

Low UPS-efficiency in low-load conditions
Intelligent Energy Management
The Challenge

UPS: Cost of Ownership
1. Purchasing Cost & Installation Cost
2. Direct Operating Cost
Efficiency = Energy Losses = Heat
3. Indirect Operating Cost
Heat = air conditioning / Ventilation
4. Maintenance Cost
