In an industry where every millisecond counts and downtime is unacceptable, the quality of your electrical installation is the foundation. HyTEPS optimises Power Quality within data centres to prevent unexplained outages, reduce risk and maximise the efficiency of your infrastructure. We provide the security needed for continuous growth in a complex power market.
Data centres are the backbone of our digital society. As the demand for computing power due to AI and cloud computing increases exponentially, the electrical system is under increasing strain. Redundancy via UPS systems and generators is often considered, but the real threat often comes from within: inadequate Power Quality.
Technical reality Modern IT equipment and cooling systems are non-linear loads. These cause harmonic contamination and imbalance in the installation. Without a proactive approach, this leads to overheating of transformers, unwanted triggering of protections and accelerated capacitor ageing. Even your UPS system, intended as a last resort, can fail due to harmonic current pollution.
Impact on the bottom-line Poor power quality is a direct cost. It increases energy consumption through reactive power and heat losses, negatively affecting your Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE). It also causes 'stealth' consumption and unnecessary investment in additional cooling capacity. In times of grid congestion, optimising your current installation is the quickest route to additional capacity, without the need for a heavier grid connection.
Certainty and continuity At HyTEPS, we understand that you are not looking for hardware, but for a guarantee that your processes will keep running. Through our integrated approach of diagnosis, analysis and improvement, we transform uncertainty into demonstrable operational reliability. We make the complex interaction between voltage and current understandable and manageable.
Every optimisation starts with facts. We perform in-depth measurements in your installation. In doing so, we analyse parameters such as harmonic contamination, voltage dips and transients.
Based on the data, we design solutions that improve the installation. Think active filters that eliminate pollution at source or compensate for reactive power.
Power quality is not a snapshot in time. With our monitoring solutions, you maintain 24/7 insight into the health of your installation and receive proactive alerts before problems lead to outages.
We share our expertise with your team so that installation managers can recognise the signs of poor Power Quality and act in accordance with applicable standards (such as EN 50160).
Improving Power Quality in a data centre delivers results beyond technology. It goes to the heart of your business model.

Poor Power Quality, such as high harmonic contamination or low power factor, leads to additional heat generation in cables and transformers. This energy is lost and does not contribute to IT performance. As a result, the cooling system has to work harder to remove this extra heat, which directly worsens the PUE score.
Harmonics cause additional losses and heat in a UPS's filters and capacitors. This can lead to premature aging of the batteries and, in extreme cases, shutdown of the UPS because the electronics can no longer handle the polluted sine wave form correctly.
Continuity is about whether the power is 'on' (availability). Power Quality is about the 'health' of that power. You can have power (100% uptime), but if the quality is poor, your systems will still break down or operate inefficiently.
a. Removing contamination such as reactive power and harmonics eliminates the 'polluted' current that unnecessarily loads your cables. This creates physical space on your current connection for more IT equipment.
