  2. SHIFT POWER | ENERGIZE YOUR WORLD There is a power shift happening worldwide • From fossil fuels to a blend of renewable, accessible alternatives • From volatility to user-controlled supply management • From excess waste and emissions to sustainable energy inventories and zero-emissions • From single-resource dependence to multi-purpose energy architectures • From thinking backward to rebuilding energy confidence in the future CoverTel Power exists to accelerate this power shift by engineering and building the technologies needed to make it happen.

  3. Extended Run-time UPS with Fuel Cells

  4. Data Centre UPSIdeal Requirements • Compact, high-density power generators in the racks next to the loads • Unlimited energy storage, moved out of the data room • Modular, plug-in power generation units, easy installation, interface and commissioning with standard UPS models • Easy future upgrade for increased power by adding modules and racks • No decay* due to operation • No decay* due to disuse (dormancy) • No decay* due to start/stop cycling • No periodic start-up requirement • Safety requirements easily met • Reduced or eliminated maintenance requirements • Lower overall costs than pure battery solution • Exactly predictable run-time • Run-time easily further extended while operating online * - performance as well as reliability!

  20. Valuable data center space is saved for revenue-generating equipment (servers!) Ideal Spatial/Efficiency Attributes Easy power capacity upgrade by adding modules and racks Compact, high-density power generators in the racks next to the loads Energy storage moved out of the data room Modular plug-in power generation units, easily installed, interfaced and commissioned with standard UPS models

  21. Ideal Performance Attributes No decay due to dormancy Reliable. Impervious, Stable. Bankable. Safe. No decay due to start/stop cycling Safety requirements easily met No periodic start-up requirement No decay due to operation Energy Certainty.
