CPM
Active Power’s Critical Power Module (CPM) topology is designed to deliver optimum performance in combination with all the operational features required by modern data centres. The CPM contains its own energy storage and sufficient capacity in cases of delayed transition to standby generators. Piller’s CPM is the perfect combination of protection and electrical efficiency, with features including:
High efficiency
Easy maintenance
Rapid deployment
Multiple operating modes
Advanced connectivity
No battery risk or battery replacement requirements
Quiet operation
Flywheel
Flywheel systems are designed to store kinetic energy by constantly spinning a compact rotor in a low-friction environment. Active Power’s CleanSource flywheel technology integrates a motor, flywheel energy storage, and generator into an elegant and economical solution. The Active Power’s Flywheel technology that we use at IPE includes the HD Series Flywheel and the PLUS Series Flywheel.
The controlled closed-cycle HVAC environment means that the POWERHOUSE can operate in most climates, with operational ambient temperatures between -25°C to 50°C, and no issues in extreme humidity.
Designed and built inside a standard 40ft (12m) ISO corrosion-resistant steel container, your POWERHOUSE can easily be transported by truck, train or ship to your desired location and withstand 1611kg/m2 snow load and 300km/h winds on route and on site.
Thanks to our Plug and Play concept, minimal start-up commissioning and on-site management is required – your system can be up and running within days, rather than weeks.
Need to relocate? No problem. Your POWERHOUSE can be disconnected, transported to a new site, and fully operational again in no time.

Modular UPS offering a wide range of modular and redundant backup power systems with 20% more power for the same footprint at the same price point.
The built-in flywheel energy storage takes up less than half the footprint of battery based systems, delivers efficiency up to 98% and lowers total cost of ownership by up to 40% over the life of the product. This field proven technology is based on a highly fault tolerant IGBT architecture designed to protect all critical loads, such as data centers, industrial processes and healthcare applications.
Stored energy will provide ride-through up to 2 minutes depending upon configuration, making the CLEANSOURCE® PLUS MMS a clear alternative to modular static UPS systems reliant on battery storage. The MMS modular UPS system has more than enough energy storage for diesel starting and synchronization, even when paralleling generating sets. Elimination of batteries saves space and weight, reduces site testing and maintenance and removes the need for routine replacement after a few years of service life.
Active Power’s CLEANSOURCE® HD UPS delivers 40% TCO savings, is 12 times less likely to fail, and reduces your impact on the environment by 90%. Based on a field-proven design, our flywheel UPS is a perfect fit for today’s mission critical applications in data centers, health care facilities, and industrial and manufacturing sites.
Stores 10.2 MJ of energy; up to 1 minute of runtime (load dependent); wide ambient temperature range 0°C to 40°C and high density, high efficiency design.
