Global electricity demand from data centers will double by 2026, driven by AI and HPC needs. Thus, a robust backup power solution is crucial to ensure continuous availability of GPUs and CPUs. Vertiv, a provider of critical digital infrastructure, has introduced the Vertiv™ Trinergy™, an uninterruptible power supply [UPS], and Vertiv™ PowerNexus, an integrated space-saving solution. Vertiv Trinergy UPS is available globally in 1500, 2000, and 2500 kVA capacities.
Vertiv’s Most Reliable, Resilient and Efficient UPS In Its Product Class
Vertiv Trinergy exceeds Tier IV data center power chain availability, with 99.9999998% projected uptime compared to 99.9994%. This difference means only 30 seconds of downtime in ten years for Vertiv Trinergy, versus eight hours for Tier IV systems. The system’s resilience stems from its extended backup time configurations and innovative self-isolating core design. Its modular architecture features 500kW physically segregated cores, each operating independently to ensure reliable power delivery during maintenance.
Kyle Keeper, SVP of power management at Vertiv, emphasizes the critical nature of high-capacity, reliable systems for AI and HPC applications. The Vertiv™ Trinergy™ UPS offers resilience and flexibility, integrating seamlessly with various power sources and batteries, including fuel cells and long-duration batteries [BESS].
The space-saving design of Vertiv Trinergy reduces maintenance costs. Its modular architecture allows for various deployment types, achieving space savings with a compact footprint. Integrating Vertiv Trinergy with Vertiv™ PowerBoard Switchgear in the Vertiv™ PowerNexus solution further maximizes the footprint. This integration reduces cabling materials, installation time, and labor costs, providing flexibility to meet specific site needs.
The UPS benefits from Vertiv’s project and lifecycle services, including advanced incident management and condition-based maintenance analytics. Vertiv™ Trinergy™ delivers up to 97.1% double conversion efficiency, increasing to 99% with the Dynamic Online mode, thus reducing operating costs and energy dissipation. The UPS can also participate in demand management and other grid services with its Dynamic Grid Support feature.
The Vertiv™ DynaFlex Battery Energy Storage System [BESS] compatibility allows the UPS to leverage alternative energy sources for backup or primary power. This compatibility reduces the need for diesel generators, contributing to a lower mean time to repair [MTTR] and decarbonization.
