EPS from Straubing offers safe UPS solution for power outage in Bavaria
Waldkraiburg / Straubing – In view of the imminent energy supply bottlenecks in the coming winter, the local municipal utilities will also be able to defend themselves against a so-called “blackout” or “blackout”. is not surprising and underlines the explosive nature and precautionary issue of this scenario. Stadtwerke Waldkraiburg (Bavaria, near Munich) is considered an important supply partner for the region and is responsible for the areas of water, district heating and power supply. The Bavarian energy supply company, which currently employs around 140 people, acts as a municipal service provider and is also responsible for the maintenance of street lighting, the green waste situation as well as for road maintenance and sports facilities.
Diesel emergency generator with total solution
Mr. Bernhard Käsmaier is division manager for power supply at Stadtwerke Waldkraiburg and explains: “As an electricity supplier, we maintain about 11,000 households and have a line network of about 120 kilometers in the 20kVA range, as well as 450 kilometers in the 0.4kVA range.” Mr. Käsmaier knows the electricity market and the needs of the population. The decisive factor for the purchase of an emergency power generator for the area of the technical center was the realization that in the “worst case” of a prolonged power outage, the Waldkraiburg branch office would also be without power and thus unable to act. “The decisive factor in favor of EPS was the overall package – starting with the initial contact, the location analysis, the offer, and the geographical proximity of the company headquarters to our location,” emphasizes Bernhard Käsmaier. He also emphasizes the conscientiousness and the enormously high level of technical understanding with which the project team of EPS has distinguished itself from the very beginning.
The power supply solution from EPS in detail
Schalthaus 4 was built at the Waldkraiburg site, which must provide the 20 kV supply for the industrial area located there. In addition to the 80kVA° emergency power generator from the manufacturer KOHLER, EPS planned and implemented the exhaust gas duct, a supply and exhaust air system and an automatic changeover switch incl. Energy distribution. In the event of a failure of the primary energy supply network, the power supply for substation 4 is thus retained and thus contributes to the fastest possible fault clearance.
