AMPROTEQUptime
Every outage is a generator start
Each network event leans on the UPS and the gensets, with fuel, wear and start-up risk.

Battery storage for data centres & telecoms.
Uptime is the product. Storage adds a resilience layer between the UPS and the generators, cuts genset run hours and lowers the demand charge on a load that never sleeps.
01 · The problem
What the site
is up against.
Load
A flat, high load
Constant load leaves less room for tariff arbitrage, so the value sits in resilience and the demand charge.
Growth
Capacity on the connection
New racks push demand towards the connection limit before the utility can upgrade it.
02 · What storage does
What the battery
does about it.
- 01Resilience layerCarries the site through outages so gensets start less often and run for less time.
- 02Demand ceilingHolds peak demand under the connection limit and defers a network upgrade.
- 03Solar firmingTurns on-site PV into a steady contribution the site can plan around.
- 04Peak shiftingMoves part of the load out of the most expensive windows.
03 · Typical configuration
Indicative,
before the load study.
| Systems | A200 to A500, often N+1 |
| Connection | MV through a skid, or 400 V on smaller sites |
| Duration | 2 to 4 hours, set by the resilience target |
| Pairs with | Existing UPS and generators, PV |
| Commercial model | PPA or purchase |
Every configuration is sized from the site's own interval data and tariff; this is a starting point, not a quote.
04 · Questions
Asked by data centres & telecoms
buyers.
Does a battery replace our UPS?
No. The UPS protects the IT load over milliseconds; the battery plant sits upstream and carries the site for hours, so the generators start less often.
How fast does it take over?
With an integrated static transfer switch the plant moves to island mode in under 10 ms.
Is arbitrage worth it on a flat load?
Less than on a peaky load. For data centres the value is usually in resilience, demand charges and avoided diesel; the load study puts a number on each.
