As a part of the contract, Active Power will deploy flywheel based UPS systems and related equipment at one of the customer’s datacenter facilities located in the US. All equipment will be shipped by third quarter 2010, with installation to follow soon after.
This is the third time Active Power has secured an order from the customer with the first order representing nearly 12MW of total rated UPS capacity delivered in late 2008 and the second order for nearly 13MW delivered in late 2009.
Jim Clishem, president and CEO of Active Power, said: “White floor space is a premium in a datacenter, particularly in large, multi-megawatt enterprise and collocation facilities.
“Our UPS technology is extremely power dense, providing a tremendous amount of critical backup power in a small footprint compared to conventional UPS systems. This means operators can dedicate more space to server equipment to help meet business and IT demands.”
