We specialize in designing, analyzing, and implementing emergency power systems to keep hospitals, data centers, and critical infrastructure operational during outages. From diesel generators to hybrid battery systems, our expert consulting engineers build custom power continuity strategies backed by NEC and IEEE standards.
Emergency Backup System Options
Provide instant power transfer and zero-emission reliability for sensitive loads.
Fuel-Oil Generators
Deliver extended runtime during outages using diesel or fuel-oil. Suitable for long-duration backup in hospitals and industrial sites.
Battery Backup Systems
Provide instant load power transfer and zero-emission reliability for sensitive loads. Ideal for data centers, labs, hydro generation, and healthcare.
Hydrogen Fuel Cells
Offer clean, high-efficiency backup with low emissions. Great for sustainable facilities and off-grid applications.
Flywheel Systems
Provide instantaneous power bridging with high reliability and zero fuel. Perfect for bridging power gaps during transitions.
Hybrid Natural Gas Systems
Combine clean fuel with scalable power delivery. Suitable for facilities needing both runtime and emission control.
Solar + Storage Systems
Combine renewable solar generation with battery storage to provide sustainable backup power and peak-shaving capabilities.

Our Emergency Power System Design Process
1. Load Assessment & Site Review
We begin by evaluating your critical loads, power transfer tolerances, infrastructure, operational priorities, and budget requirements.
5. Code & Standards Compliance
We ensure all designs meet NEC, NFPA 110, IEEE standards, facility, and local AHJ requirements as required to ensure safety and support permitting requirements.
2. Facility Testing (If Warranted)
We design targeted test plans for facility systems to identify performance issues or integration risks that may affect emergency system design.
6. Transfer & Runtime Modeling
We simulate transfer performance, load curves, and backup capacity using tools like MATLAB to validate system behavior under real-world conditions.
3. Feasibility Study (If Required)
We evaluate multiple technical approaches and provide a report comparing cost, downtime, resilience, and power quality for decision-making.
7. Simulation & Technical Report
Using ETAP, SKM, or ASPEN, we model system dynamics and deliver detailed reports covering protection coordination, fault withstand, and arc flash.
4. System Type Selection
Based on runtime, power quality, and environmental factors, we recommend generator, battery, or hybrid systems integrated into your infrastructure.
8. Implementation Support & QA
We support system integration, commissioning, and quality assurance to ensure your emergency power system operates reliably long term.
