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.
Piller battery-free UPS technology was selected to provide power security to the campus. The equipment is currently being commissioned.
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 proven 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, with stress tests scheduled for Q1 2025. A full handover expected by the middle of the year.
Piller previously installed its battery-free DRUPS technology in 2011, at Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm, Europe’s largest.
Piller protected the new Odense University Hospital (OUH).
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”.
