Uninterrupted Power Supply and Protection at Key Points of the National Network
ACE, as part of its partnership with DESFA (Hellenic Gas Transmission System Operator), has completed the installation of Sentinel Tower UPS units from the Italian manufacturer RIELLO UPS at key points of Greece’s national gas network.
The installations were carried out in Examilia, Corinth, Achladokampos, Argolis, and Schistou Avenue in Perama.
Featuring specialised design and advanced technology, the Sentinel Tower incorporates state-of-the-art components, providing maximum load protection and optimum energy savings while fully meeting the demanding requirements of critical infrastructure.
The range includes 5–6 kVA models with single-phase input/single-phase output, as well as 8–10 kVA models with single-phase or three-phase input and single-phase output.
All models feature double-conversion ON LINE (VFI) technology, ensuring that the load is continuously supplied by the inverter with sinusoidal, filtered and fully stabilised voltage. Input and output filters provide additional protection against grid disturbances and lightning-related phenomena.
In a statement, Dimitris Vlachos, General Manager of ACE, said:
“Our partnership with DESFA is a particular honour for ACE and confirms the confidence that critical infrastructure organisations place in our technological solutions. Through the installation of RIELLO UPS Sentinel Tower systems, we ensure a high level of reliability, energy efficiency and protection, making a substantial contribution to the uninterrupted operation of Greece’s national natural gas system.”
