Solution: Recommended architectures for Healthcare buildings

 

 
 

 
 

Value proposition


Main drivers
  • Since designing, installing and maintaining a hospital installation is complex and hazardous, it requires to master architectures, products and services offers, from the early preliminary design to operations.
  • Patient safety is mandatory: the power supply must never be lost, nor a electrical disturbance produce human outages.
  • Risk management is compulsory. How to prevent any outage, how to prove that all means have been taken into account.

Solution in brief
  • IEC “End to End" power solutions for Healthcare consist in a consistent library of recommended architectures, for different levels of power sizing and redundancy level.
  • A recommended architecture is defined by its electrical diagram, the definition of equipments, the maintenance requirements, from utility feeder down to critical loads.

Value proposition
  • Peace of mind: High availability solutions, consistent, with field experience embedded. Homogeneous across the complete power system, from utility feeder down to critical loads. Compliance with standards.
  • Business continuity / disaster recovery: Critical info delivered to right person at the right time
  • Qualified solutions: the solutions offer a range of 3 x level of redundancy, with unavailability values from 17,26 to 0,64 hours of yearly downtime, and estimates of Total Cost of Ownership (to help in selecting the best alternative considering customer needs).

Differentiation factors
  • These solutions are consistent, with field experience embedded. As the strength is that of the weakest link, they proposed a homogeneous solution across the complete power system.
  • They fully integrate measure & monitoring for risk management and traceability.
  • Pre-engineered solutions allow for improved performances, more engineering and studies than one-shot projects.

Solution architecture

 
 

Main characteristics

  • Energy availability: dependability study (statistical values for reliability and availability)
  • Energy savings: “End to end power solutions for Healthcare Buildings” integrate energy metering in main equipments, in order to provide facility managers with guidelines of potential savings.
  • Environmental impact: Equipment selection is optimized for mayor performance and limitation of environmental impact (reduced losses, copper section, plastic quantities, etc...).
