An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is essential for research and development facilities. At the High Tech Campus Villach, EPS Electric Power Systems has successfully installed two Borri UPS systems Ingenio MAX 200kVA/200kW, each equipped with an external bypass switch and batteries. The UPS system was installed by the long-standing electrical engineering partner Elin and put into operation together with EPS. It ensures the highest level of operational continuity for one of Austria’s leading research institutions.
Maria Anzbach / Villach – The High Tech Campus Villach (HTCV), a center for electronics, microelectronics and mechatronics, houses companies, start-ups and research institutes on an area of 9,000 square meters. Silicon Austria Labs, one of the main tenants, in particular, needs an absolutely reliable power supply for its cleanroom processes. A power outage could damage highly sensitive equipment or jeopardize valuable research results.
“The requirements of our tenants are extremely demanding. Time-critical research projects and sensitive equipment require the highest level of security of supply. With the IT UPS systems from EPS, we have now found exactly the right solution and are taking an important step towards future-proofing. Our tenants benefit from the highest level of security of supply, and we can do even better justice to our role as an innovation center,” explains Bernhard Lamprecht, Managing Director of the High Tech Campus Villach.
Efficient power supply for sensitive research
The Borri Ingenio MAX 200kVA/200kW IT-UPS systems supplied by EPS impress with their high energy efficiency, a low MTBF value (Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF), parallel capability, and their compact footprint. This enables space-saving and efficient integration into the existing infrastructure with the highest availability requirements. The two external bypass switches (EBS1250A-lock) ensure complete uninterrupted bypass of the UPS systems during maintenance work or UPS replacement, without affecting ongoing operations.
“We are proud to be part of this important project. With the Ingenio MAX systems from Borri, we have implemented a solution that meets the requirements for space and efficiency as well as maximum reliability,” emphasizes Peter Reisinger, Managing Director and Sales Manager at EPS. “The cooperation with strong partners such as Elin and the Italian UPS manufacturer Borri underlines our claim to deliver the best solutions for our customers.”
Experience and expertise for seamless implementation
The installation of the systems was carried out by the company Elin, which has been a partner of the tpv Technology Park Villach |HTCV is active in the field of electrical engineering. “The requirements in the buildings of the High Tech Campus Villach and its tenants were high, but together with EPS we were able to implement them successfully. EPS’s expertise and reliability made a significant contribution to ensuring that the project ran smoothly,” emphasizes Jürgen Stern, Site Manager Klagenfurt at Elin.
The new UPS solution not only offers stability and efficiency, but also supports the High Tech Campus Villach in its role as a hub for technological innovation.
