Here is a short run through of the seminar programme, our partners and their specialist areas of expertise.
Fuel cells as resilient power sources |
| Tom Sperrey, UPS Systems - Fuel cells are an important technology in the battle to reduce green house gasses because of their low environmental impact. Tom Sperry will look at the latest fuel cell developments and how the systems can be deployed within power continuity plans |
|
Flywheel technology developments |
| Oliver Ulibas, Vycon - Flywheels are a ‘green’ energy storage solution which can be used to reduce overall dependence on traditional battery sets. Oliver Ulibas will examine the latest developments in this technology and how it is used as a source of standby power. |
|
Can generators be greener? |
| Andrew Underwood, Cummins Power UK Ltd - Carbon footprints are a growing concern for most organisations. Andrew will discuss the latest developments in generator technologies and what this specific industry is doing to develop greener solutions in terms of efficiency, noise output and service ability. |
|
The key factors to look for in a resilient UPS design |
| Leo Craig, Riello UPS Ltd - uninterruptible power supply solutions differ widely in the levels of resilience they can achieve. Leo will compare traditional approaches and examine factors such as overall efficiency and total cost of ownership. |
|
Harmonics and power factor correction don’t interest me! |
Dr Jim Bridgeman, PFC Ltd - Site specific harmonics and power factor correction problems can greatly disrupt system reliability. Jim will explore the impact of these power problems and the solutions available. |
|
New European standards regarding lightning and surge protection |
Joseph Elwood, Furse Ltd - Lightning and surge suppression can be difficult to specify correctly without the use of a formal process. Joe will examine the importance of surge suppression within a data processing environment and how to comply with latest standards. |
|
Data centre design - business continuity compliant environments |
Tony Dowdeswell, Secure IT Environments Ltd - Business continuity is concerned with the potential impact of accidents and disasters. Tony will identify the key issues and relevant standards to consider in relation to how a data centre environment and its infrastructure can be protected. |
|
The impact of increasing power in data centres |
| Mike Hayes, Denco Ltd - The more compact a server the more the heat output. Mike will examine the role of air conditioning within data processing environments and the impact of increasing demands of additional computing power, distribution systems and UPS solutions. |
|
Monitoring, the information you need |
| Andrew Peach, Sinetica - Continuous monitoring is key to the successful optimisation of a power continuity plan. Andrew will explore key monitoring aspects and discuss these in terms of capacity, efficiency and costs. |
