  12. OhioHealth Dual UPS Project case study • General Considerations • Creating Dual UPS Buses • Existing UPS System • 500 kVA / 400 kW Liebert Series 610 with • 3 VRLA Battery Cabinets includes • Alber Battery Monitoring • Quarterly Preventative Maintenance & Inspections • Wet cell Battery Technology not considered • Footprint for 2nd UPS & Energy Storage limited • 2nd Floor Installation – potential structural concerns • 1N Generator back-up • Recent Battery Failure during generator project

  13. Dual UPS Project Case StudyDecision One – Liebert NXL vs. NX Liebert NX UPS (wo transformer) 500kVA/500kW Pro: • In all sizes • Been in production since 2007 • Over 8,500 units are in use worldwide • Weighs less • Smaller footprint • Higher efficiency (95% at 200-500kW, 93% at 125kW) • Transistorized rectifier has high input power factor and less current distortion • Much easier load for generator to handle • No input transformer-low inrush on utility and on generator • Modular component design reduces MTTR • Supports much wider load power factor range: 0.70 leading to 0.70 lagging Liebert NXL UPS (w transformer) 500kVA/450kW Pro: • Traditional Approach • In the 225 – 600 kVA sizes • Been in production since 2009 • Over 975 units throughout the country

  14. Dual UPS Project Case StudyDecision One – Liebert NXL vs. NX Liebert NX UPS Cons: • In the 225 – 600 KVA sizes • Been in production since 2013 • Only 80 units in US • Field service has less experience than NXL • New User Interface Screen to get familiar with • No isolation transformer, input and output is 3W+G only Liebert NXL UPS Cons: • Weighs more than NX • Larger Footprint • Lower efficiency (92% at 225-450kW, 90% at 125kW)

  15. Dual UPS Project Case StudyDecision One – Liebert NXL vs. NX Liebert 500kVA/500kW NX UPS (without transformer) chosen as basis of design • Main Reasons: • Smaller Footprint • Less Weight • Higher efficiency • Easier on generator • Lower cost ≈ 6% • Main Concern • Newer US Based Model / Field Service Experience • Mitigation of concerns • Creating Dual UPS Buses • Local Liebert Training and support for Customer Engineers

  16. Dual UPS Project Case Study Decision Two – Flywheel vs. VRLA

  17. Review of Basic UPS System AUTOMATIC STATIC BYPASS MAINTENANCE BYPASS LOAD SOURCE DC RECTIFIER / CHARGER INVERTER Energy Storage

  18. UPS Energy Storage • Lead Acid Batteries Most Prevalent • Sealed Valve-Regulated (VRLA) • Wet Cell • Emerging Technologies • Flywheels • Superconducting Magnets • Ultra-Capacitors • Other Battery Types (NiCad, Li-Ion, NiMH, etc.) • Fuel Cells • Micro Turbines

  19. VRLA Batteries Typical 5/10-Year Battery Typical 10-Year Battery Typical VRLA Batteriesin a Cabinet

  20. Typical - Flywheel Flywheel - Heart of the system providing a 20-year life with no maintenance. Master Controller - Monitors output demand and controls the various subsystems including charging (monitoring) and discharging (generating) of the flywheel. Magnetic Bearing Controller - Controls the position of the flywheel rotor via a 5-axis active magnetic bearing system. Bi-Directional Power Converter - Interface between the DC bus and the variable frequency, variable voltage AC generated by the flywheel. Vacuum Pump - Evacuates air within the flywheel to reduce windage losses resulting in increased electrical efficiency.

  21. Dual UPS Project Case StudyDecision Two – Flywheel vs. VRLA • General Considerations • Creating Dual UPS Buses • Existing UPS System • 500 kVA / 400 kW Liebert Series 610 with • 3 VRLA Battery Cabinets includes • Alber Battery Monitoring • Quarterly Preventative Maintenance & Inspections • Wet cell Battery Technology not considered due to • Footprint for 2nd UPS & Energy Storage limited • 2nd Floor Installation – potential structural concerns • 1N Generator back-up • Recent Battery Failure during generator project

  22. Dual UPS Install Case StudyDecision Two – VRLA vs. Flywheel Liebert NX UPS Flywheels Pro: • Diversity in energy storage reducing likelihood of recent outage re-occurring • ROI of Flywheels vs. Battery is 4 to 5 years or when the 1st battery replacement costs occur • Flywheel life expectancy is 20 years • Flywheel maintenance is 1 time per year vs. quarterly battery inspections • Less parts using 3 Flywheels vs. using 3 battery cabinets with 40 batteries per cabinet • GREENsolution; efficient • Less annual maintenance costs • Smaller footprint / Less Weight • Faster recharge after discharge • Higher reliability than batteries Liebert NX UPS VRLA Battery Cabinets Pro: • Stored Energy in event of loss of utility & generator is 10 minutes at full UPS Load • OhioHealth is familiar with battery cabinets • Less upfront cost versus flywheel option • Due to batteries being used at more sites and the long history of battery usage, service technicians have more experience servicing batteries • Companies providing UPSs (Liebert, APC) and companies providing batteries (C&D and EnerSys) have long, established track records

  23. Dual UPS Project Case StudyDecision Two – VRLA vs. Flywheel Liebert NX UPS Flywheels Con: • Most costly upfront ≈ 50% equipment only • Flywheels offer minimum stored energy (20-30 seconds) depending on UPS Load. • On loss of utility & the generator fails to start • Less familiarity for All involved • Communications protocols not as established Liebert NX UPS VRLA Battery Cabinets Con: • Higher Maintenance Costs • Higher Replacement Cost (need to replace every 3 - 4 years) • More Maintenance than flywheel quarterly vs. annual • Larger footprint and weight • Bring in a hazardous material (Lead). • Present a higher fire hazard

  24. Decision Two – VRLA vs. Flywheel – Additional Information UPS Runtime with flywheel unit(s) or batteries string(s) being down for service or repair

  25. Decision Two – VRLA vs. Flywheel – Additional Information UPS Runtime with 3 Battery Strings UPS Runtime with 2 Battery Strings UPS Runtime with 1 Battery Strings

  26. Dual UPS Project Case StudyDecision Two – VRLA vs. Flywheel Vycon Flywheel chosen as basis of design • Main Reasons for flywheel: • Diversity of energy storage – reducing likelihood of battery failure causing outage • ROI of flywheel vs. batter≈ 5 years or 1st Full Battery replacement • Flywheel life expectancy 20 years • Footprint & Weight • Less yearly maintenance

  27. Dual UPS Project Case StudyDecision Two – VRLA vs. Flywheel Vycon Flywheel chosen as basis of design • Concern & Mitigations: • Limited stored energy (20-30 seconds) depending on UPS Load • Dual UPS Bus Design • Diversity One UPS Bus Battery and other Flywheel • Generator new and well maintained • Facility staff isn’t on site 24 / 7 / 365 • Upfront cost • Due to weight reduction compared to VRLA structural upgrades not required – overall budget ≈ 12% higher for flywheels • ROI of ≈ 4-5 years • Field Service Experience • Flywheels have minimum parts to fail • Support of Vycon during installation • Dual Bus UPS Design • N+1 Flywheel Design • Communications protocols • Understanding that communication issues are not necessarily critical concerns • Commitment from vendors to work through issues until resolved

  28. Dual UPS Project Case StudyKey takeaways • Review all options • Do not ignore concerns – look for mitigation • Open & honest discussions are key
