The breakthrough fuel cell backup technology is a first for an Israeli hospital, with the innovative solution guaranteed to keep the power on 24/7 for critical life-saving equipment and procedures. ABB has collaborated with Israel fuel cell manufacturer GenCell to install a unique hydrogen-based Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) system at the Hillel Yaffe Medical Center in Israel. In contrast, three-phase PDUs are designed for high-capacity power distribution and are ideal for large power consumers like colocation data centers. Technology, such as electronic medical records and digital imaging, have revolutionized healthcare by streamlining processes, increasing eficiency and, most importantly, improving patient outcomes. As these systems have become woven into the fabric of healthcare delivery, their continuous operation. Totally Integrated Power (TIP) – incorporating comprehen-sive, cost-efficient, safe power distribution in buildings – provides the necessary future-proofing and flexibility based on reliable, optimized power supply.

What is a battery cabinet?
A battery cabinet is a housing designed to hold batteries used to power an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system. In the event of a power disruption or outage, the UPS system ensures that your devices continue to operate from the energy stored in the batteries in the battery cabinet. Lithium-ion 34.6 kWh-parallel up to 5 MW.
Does Hillel Yaffe Medical Center have a backup power supply?
Moving to a GenCell hydrogen-powered backup solution, the Hillel Yaffe Medical Center now has a reliable power supply 24/7 which will keep patients safe, decarbonize its operations and reduce costs to operate.
Why do hospitals need power systems?
Today, of course, the power system in healthcare facilities must support more than just standard IT systems. Critical operations throughout the hospital or clinic, such as operating rooms and intensive care units, also depend on clean, uninterruptible power to deliver life-saving services.
What is the reference hospital final design power consumption?
The reference hospital final design power consumption is 2,2 MVA. Table 7 shows the categorization of final loads and the power supply design. The load distribution per category varies by project, depending on design selections, so this table is only illustrating this particular reference design. Table 7. Reference Hospital load categories
