Sicon Modular UPS Applied to the World’s Largest Single-aperture Telescope Base

The Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS) announced that its new 500-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST),China TOP Nine Science &Technology Infrastructure, was ready to use in September, 2016. With an area equal to 30 soccer fields, this behemoth is now the largest filled-in, single-dish radio telescope in the world.

As the world's largest single-aperture telescope, its scientific impact on astronomy is extraordinary, and it is certainly revolutionizing the natural sciences.

Location

Karst, Pingtang, Guizhou Province, Southwestern China.

Sicon Modular UPS Applied to the World’s Largest Single-aperture Telescope Base

Challenge

To ensure reliable uninterrupted power supply to the super large Telescope, Fast has extremely high demand on the stability and reliability of UPS power supply equipment, whose performance directly affecting the accuracy and stability of astronomical observations.

Solution

As one of the cooperative partner, Sicon provided complete power supply guarantee with its CMS series 3 phase UPS and Modular N+X solution , which features with high reliability and high cost-efficiency. Only available to get 1 fixed redundancy on standalone UPS 1+1 solution, in modular ups each power module could be the X as redundancy which gets higher reliability.

CMS Modular UPS: 60KVA system , 10KVA power module, N+X redundancy system, THDI<3%, overall efficiency≥ 98%.
