Latin America. During the state of alarm that is experienced by the COVID-19 crisis, there are indispensable services that cannot interrupt their activity: hospitals, laboratories, research centers, communications, distribution centers, water systems, home, to name a few. These critical services have the need to reassure their energy supply that allows them to have a timely response to incidents or lack of supply, in the event of a power grid failure.
Given the current situation, an emergency power plant is synonymous with operational guarantee, since it provides a fundamental energy backup for successful operational management. In this way, operational paralysis, irreparable damage to valuable machines or even human losses are avoided.
We know that many processes depend on electrical energy to operate, but there are cases where losing electricity for five minutes represents large costs and in the case of hospitals it can be life or death. For this reason it is of great importance to have a backup power system to anticipate any operational complications that may occur.
During 2021, at least the following industries that, according to Generac, will make greater use of electric power generation equipment to stay in operation: Hospital Sector, Infrastructure, Telecommunications, Drinking Water System, and Consumer Market.
1.- Hospital Sector: It is recommended that health institutions invest in an emergency power plant to prevent human losses when there is a failure in the electricity supply.
Recall the mega blackout that in December of last year affected several states of the country, and in the current situation we face, the care of patients is complicated, especially those who require assisted breathing or other specialized treatments.
Under this scenario, power generators are very convenient to have support energy for all those medical devices, equipment, instruments and distribution networks that a medical institution of any size has. In addition, all these equipment are very expensive and have a very long useful life, therefore, the industries of this sector can not afford to lose them due to a sudden blackout, because they have to preserve them until they stop being functional.
2.- Infrastructure Sector: There is a promising outlook in terms of Infrastructure, this is due to the large construction and construction projects of both public and private works. Therefore, an emergency power generator is essential for this industry, since the constructions that are carried out need extra electricity supply, as well as in those places where full-time work is carried out for the elaboration of any type of infrastructure, even in areas without electricity supply, where they are essential to provide energy to workers who cover night shifts.
3.- Telecommunications Sector: This is another of the sectors that demands reliable solutions in terms of backup energy to protect their businesses and the profitability of their various types of infrastructure such as data centers, radio towers, backhaul networks and concentrators, in this way, they will protect and improve the experience of their customers.
Recall that one of the characteristic phenomena of the evolution of this sector is its rapid and constant expansion. Behind the development lies a convergence of technological, economic, social and institutional elements, where operational perseverance is the spearhead. This is why all processes are required to remain unaffected 24 hours a day.
For this industry, having an electric generator is ideal to optimize the operation of its productive structure.
4.- Drinking Water Systems: Operation and maintenance are fundamental actions for the operation and durability of water systems.
A drinking water supply system consists of a set of works necessary to capture, conduct, treat, store and distribute water from natural sources, whether underground or superficial, to the homes of the inhabitants who will be favored with this system. For this, energy is important to maintain operation, and in case of a failure a powerful power generator will help the process not to be affected. In this way, the Drinking Water Supply System leads to the improvement of the quality of life, health and development of the population.
5.- Consumer Market: Guaranteeing the provision of energy at all times and under any circumstances is essential to ensure the comfort and well-being of the family.
A permanently installed home backup generator protects your home automatically. It runs on natural gas or LP gas and is installed outside as a central air conditioning unit. A home backup generator sends power directly to the electrical system, and thus backs up the entire house or just the most important items.
