Ride Through to Emergency Stand-by Generator
Genset
Ride-Through: NFPA 99 regulations for Emergency Power Systems
stipulate that Gensets must be able to assume the load within
10 seconds. While batteries can perform this function, their
reliability is always in question. Are they fully charged?
Has a cell gone bad in the battery string? When was the last
time they were checked? By contrast, VYCON’s VDC systems provide
reliable energy storage instantaneously to assure a predictable
transition to the stand-by gen-set, all in a compact footprint.
Battery Hardening (Parallel with batteries)
For
applications without Gensets or for those who still want to
use batteries, the VDC and VDC-XE can operate in parallel
with batteries. In this configuration, the VDC is the first
line of defense against power anomalies – saving the batteries
for prolonged power outages. By being first to provide the
necessary energy to ride through power glitches, the VDC system
significantly increases battery life by absorbing over 98%
of the discharges that would have normally caused the batteries
to be cycled.
Glitch Protection for Industrial Applications
For
applications in industrial markets where voltage dips, sags
and glitches can shut down sensitive process control equipment
leading to lost productivity and scraped materials, the VYCON
VDC system is the perfect solution. 98% of all voltage sags
and outages are less than 10 seconds in duration all of which
can be solved by the energy stored in the VDC. Because the
VDC can operate in harsh environments and occupies very little
space, unlike batteries, it is the ideal solution for industrial
applications.
