Challenges
Downtime Risk
Continuous design and verification workflows required uninterrupted availability—brief disruptions could invalidate long-running workloads and delay critical development timelines.
High Compute Loads
Sustained compute activity and peak processing bursts demanded stable, clean three-phase power with no single point of failure.
Capacity Expansion
The infrastructure needed to accommodate new design programs and lab expansions without disrupting live operations or requiring architectural rework.
Battery Safety
Energy storage systems had to be compact, fire-safe, and energy-efficient to meet safety norms in people-dense R&D environments.
Service Dependency
The campus required immediate, expert service support to avoid reliance on third-party response cycles that could impact engineering velocity.
Numeric’s Tailored Power Continuity Deployment
Eliminating Structural Over-Provisioning
R&D UPS systems are typically oversized to 200–300% of day-one demand, resulting in prolonged operation at 30–40% utilisation and sustained energy loss. This deployment used Keor Mod modular UPS systems (up to 96.8% efficiency), introducing 225 kVA and 125 kVA modules only as demand increased. By maintaining UPS operation in the 60–80% utilisation band across the lifecycle, continuous UPS losses were reduced by approximately 1.5x, directly reduced the operational carbon footprint of the campus.
Power Quality for Compute-Intensive R&D
In design and verification workloads, voltage instability did not cause visible downtime but invalidated compute runs. Keor MOD (up to 96.8% efficiency) and Keor MP three-phase double-conversion platforms (up to 96% efficiency) delivered regulated output under dynamic load conditions, eliminating transient disturbances that forced full re-runs, Avoiding even one failed long-duration run per month preserved hundreds of compute-hours annually
Scalable Capacity Without Disruption
Rather than installing full future capacity upfront, growth was staged. Advanced laboratories were supported by three 250 kVA Keor Mod UPS systems, allowing capacity to be added in defined blocks. This strategy deferred one to two full expansion cycles and avoided years of low-load inefficiency typical of oversized, pre-built systems.
Optimised Total Cost of Ownership
For continuously operating loads, efficiency dominated total cost of ownership. Emergency lighting and safety circuits were supported by 80 kVA Keor MP UPS (up to 96% efficiency), critical lighting zones and R&D labs by 250 kVA Keor MOD (R&D), and cooling systems by HPi 33 EVO UPS units (up to 95% efficiency). Over 8,700 operating hours per year, a 3–4% efficiency advantage compounded up to 1.5x lower cumulative energy loss over the years, with parallel reductions in heat rejection, cooling demand, and battery thermal aging.
