Data released in November 2021 by the International Energy Agency shows the industry has done a tremendous job of serving needs without consuming more power. It’s a verified and impressive fact we can be proud of. And it’s time that we, as an industry, get a little more vocal about our accomplishments.
Companies advance the energy transition and enable customers to reach their sustainability goals

The primary function of a UPS is to provide backup power protection for mission critical applications and facilities and to protect them from grid outages or power quality issues.
ABB collaborates with Ecotricity on 10-MW grid-scale battery project
June 13, 2022
The project, a 10-MW/20-MWh li-ion energy storage system will be colocated alongside Ecotricity’s wind farm in Alveston, Gloucestershire, which was constructed in 2017. The lithium-ion batteries will be supplied by Kore Power, and the BESS will be controlled by ABB’s eStorage OS energy management system.
Because the jackets on SJT power cords are thicker, that has led to a mistaken belief that they are safer than SVT cords in a data center environment. As a result, many data centers are missing out on the unique benefits of SVT power cords in their facility.
With advanced performance and real-time deterministic network operation, these industrial-grade switches are designed to stand up to extreme temperatures, surges, vibrations, and shocks found in industrial automation, government, military, oil and gas, mining, and outdoor applications.
Renewable energy sources, particularly wind and solar, are rapidly growing in adoption as a key source of energy for the grid. However, they carry important engineering challenges and other issues that cannot be overlooked.
Simulating harsh environment and pollution testing in extreme temperatures

The enhanced testing, which can take from four to eight weeks to complete for each component, will take ABB’s switchgear beyond current standards to comply with the new (IEC/TS 62271-304 from Class 1 to Class 4) regulation.
By proactively performing the actions required to keep machinery running smoothly, companies can operate efficiently even in the worst conditions — meaning less costly maintenance and replacements, which ultimately improves overall resiliency.
