Dubbed “The Hospital of the Future”, the new Odense University Hospital (OUH) is the largest all-new hospital to be built in Denmark and one of the most technologically advanced in Europe.
The project for this new cutting-edge university hospital incorporates Piller Dynamic Rotary Uninterruptible Power Supply (DRUPS) technology, known for its reliability, sustainability, and other benefits over battery-backed systems.
The OUH DRUPS installation delivers conditioned power across nine buildings integrated within a forward-thinking campus design on a site area of some 800,000 square meters.
With core infrastructure completed in less than a year, the system is currently undergoing commissioning. Stress testing is scheduled for Q1 2025 and a full handover expected mid year. Installation was carried out by local EPC partner Coromatic.
In 2011 Piller installed similar technology at Europe’s largest medical facility, the Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden.
The OUH installation sets yet another benchmark for resilient hospital infrastructure. The design reduces environmental impact and minimises CO2 emissions, key considerations when designing “The Hospital of the Future”.
