Partnership with ATHINAION Cinemas
ACE Power Electronics has successfully completed the supply and installation of a Riello Sentryum Active 20 kVA uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system at ATHINAION Cinemas, strengthening the reliability and availability of the facilities’ critical electrical and technological infrastructure. In a modern cinema environment, the continuous operation of projection systems, network infrastructure, automation systems and other supporting applications is a fundamental requirement for uninterrupted customer service and the smooth running of screenings. Protection against interruptions or fluctuations in the electrical power supply is critical to ensuring the operational continuity of the facilities. The installed solution is based on the Riello Sentryum Active 20 kVA (S3T 20 ACT), an advanced online double-conversion UPS designed for applications requiring high power quality, maximum reliability and increased energy efficiency. The system ensures stable and uninterrupted power supply, protecting sensitive equipment from outages, voltage sags and electrical disturbances. ACE Power Electronics was responsible for the supply, technical installation support and commissioning of the system, ensuring its smooth integration into the cinemas’ existing infrastructure. As Dimitris Vlachos, General Manager of ACE Power Electronics, stated: “The uninterrupted operation of critical systems is a key factor in delivering high-quality services and ensuring the best possible visitor experience. Through our partnership with ATHINAION Cinemas, we contribute to strengthening the reliability of their infrastructure by providing a modern power protection solution that meets the requirements of their day-to-day operations.”

Case Studies & Insights
What Should Be Checked Before a Critical Power System Is Handed Over?
Completing the installation of a UPS is not the same as completing the project. Before the system enters normal operation, it must be confirmed that it has been installed correctly, that its operating parameters correspond to the design and that its basic protection functions have been tested. This is the essence of commissioning: putting the system into operation and verifying its behaviour against the project requirements.
UPS and Energy Storage: Where They Converge – and Where They Do Not
The growing adoption of energy storage systems often creates the impression that a BESS and a UPS are variations of the same technology. They do indeed share certain elements — batteries, power electronics, converters and control systems. The fundamental difference, however, lies in the function for which each system is designed.
Emergency Lighting: It Must Work at the Critical Moment
Emergency lighting is part of the infrastructure that is activated when the normal power supply is unavailable. Its purpose is not to replace normal lighting, but to support safe evacuation, the identification of exits and signs and, depending on the application, the safe completion of critical activities.
Energy Storage for Businesses: New Developments in the Greek Market
Energy storage is taking on a more defined role in Greece’s energy planning. Two announcements in early September create new conditions for investment in batteries and self-consumption applications.
