From 99.9% to 99.999% Availability Data-center reliability is rarely a binary question of “does it work or not?” Instead, it is defined by explicit availability tiers – typically three nines (99.9%), four nines (99.99%), or five nines (99.999%) – each with very different implications for system architecture, redundancy, and cost. Modern gas-engine power plants, built ...
Hitachi Energy this week announced that Energinet, Denmark's national transmission system operator (TSO), has accelerated their digital journey with the selection of Hitachi's industry-leading Lumada Asset Performance Management (APM) solution. This latest collaboration between Hitachi Energy and Energinet will help the TSO better assess grid reinvestments needed to achieve their 2030 carbon ...
Urban Node 324 Cellular controllers deliver all the benefits of smart city LED street lighting, including the ability to precisely control brightness and thus energy consumption and costs depending on actual local conditions; dynamically responding to sudden changes in pedestrian numbers or road traffic volumes; monitoring energy consumption in real-time; and identifying and even pre-empting ...
After last year’s online edition, due to the pandemic, this year the appointment with Medica 2021, the world’s most important fair for medicine, takes place from November 15 to 19 in Dusseldorf, Germany.
