Piller Power Systems technology to protect Denmark’s Odense Hospital of the Future

Piller Power Systems, a global leader in power protection solutions, is fortifying power protection for the 10,8 MW Odense University hospital (OUH), Denmark’s largest hospital built from scratch, currently under construction close to the City of Odense in the South of the country.

The OUH total construction project area is 500,000m2, of which the 855 bed hospital buildings cover nearly 250,000m2.

Handover of the buildings, which will have approximately 10,000 rooms in total, is expected in 2025.

The UPS system, totalling 12.6 MW across two load groups with common N+1 redundancy, is comprised of 7 Piller UNIBLOCK UBTD+ 1800 units, each equipped with a PB21, an electrically coupled flywheel energy storage.

The 7 x Piller UNIBLOCK UBTD+ 1800 with 1 x PB21 rotary UPS, with electrically coupled kinetic energy storage at nominal voltage 10000 V / 50 Hz will supply power ride through with 7 x 1648kWm Power Module emission optimized diesel engines. All power supply equipment is installed in a central building.

These units, operating at a nominal voltage of 10,000 V / 50 Hz, ensure seamless power ride-through, backed by 7 high-performance and emission-optimized diesel engines, all housed in a centralized building, as being the energy hub of the hospital.

Piller’s involvement in the OUH project came through an EU-public tender process led by local partner and general electrical contractor, Coromatic A/S. Piller’s Dynamic Rotary Uninterruptible Power Supply (DRUPS) demonstrated significant total cost of ownership savings in energy and fuel, estimated to surpass €10 million over a 25-year period. With a mean time between failure (MTBF) of 1.8 million hours, the Piller system promises maximum uptime and reduced unplanned interventions, ensuring the hospital’s critical operations run seamlessly.

Beyond economic considerations, the Piller system aligns with the project’s sustainability goals. It is projected to save within 25 years substantial CO2 emissions, compared to alternative systems, equivalent to the output of 10,000 mid-sized automobiles over 1.5 years. This OUH’s commitment to sustainability includes deriving at least 20% of its energy from renewable sources, facilitated by a 25,000 square meter photovoltaic system expected to generate 4,500 MWh annually.

The criticality of power at scale for Denmark’s OUH hospital of the future can be demonstrated through its Radiology and Nuclear Medicine scanner capacity. These are 22 MRI scanners and CT scanners alongside 12 conventional scanners in Radiology and a total of 9 PET/CT scanners and PET/MRI scanners in Nuclear Medicine.

The Piller system is performance tested technology whose design reliability, maintenance and, production control of the entire DRUPS systems comes under the responsibility of the manufacturer as opposed to an assembly of disparate parts from separate suppliers.
