Reliable Power Backup Solution for an Architectural BIM Design Office

Client Name: Tathastu BIM Pvt. Ltd.

Project Location: Rajkot, Gujarat, India

System Capacity: 15 kW Hybrid Inverter / 30 kWh Battery Energy Storage System

Solution Provider: Powerstorm Technology Pvt. Ltd.

1. Client Overview

Tathastu BIM Pvt. Ltd. is an architectural and Building Information Modelling (BIM) services company based in Rajkot, Gujarat. The company specializes in advanced digital construction, architectural design, and detailed BIM processes that facilitate improved project planning, coordination, and delivery.

Their operations involve high-performance computer systems used to process complex architectural designs, 3D models, and large project files.

2. The Challenge – Power Interruption and Business Downtime

The client was experiencing frequent power interruptions, which were significantly affecting their office operations and productivity.

Their office relies on high-performance computers to run demanding architectural design software and process large BIM project files. Even a brief power interruption can shut down these computer systems unexpectedly.

The major challenges included:

• Unexpected System Shutdowns: Power interruptions caused computers to shut down while working on complex design projects.
• Extended Restart Time: Restarting computer systems and reopening large project files takes approximately 1 to 1.5 hours.
• Productivity Loss: Employees experienced unnecessary downtime, affecting project timelines and overall office efficiency.
• Continuous Power Requirement: The office requires a reliable power supply to keep its computer systems and essential equipment running without interruption.

The client's average office load is approximately 10 kW, with a requirement for 2-3 hours of backup during power outages.

3. Powerstorm's Proposed Solution

After understanding the client's power requirements and operational challenges, Powerstorm Technology Pvt. Ltd. proposed a 15 kW Hybrid Inverter integrated with a 30 kWh Battery Energy Storage System to meet the client's power backup requirements. The system is designed to support the office's approximately 10 kW connected load and provide 2–3 hours of backup during power interruptions. This configuration will help maintain a continuous power supply to critical computer systems, minimize unexpected shutdowns, and ensure smoother architectural design and BIM operations.

4. How the System Works

The proposed 15 kW hybrid inverter works in combination with Powerstorm's 30 kWh battery energy storage system.

• Normal Grid Operation: The hybrid inverter supplies power to the office load while managing battery charging.
• During Power Failure: The system automatically switches to battery backup, subject to the inverter's transfer-time specifications and system configuration.
• Continuous Office Operations: The battery system supplies power to connected computers and essential office equipment, helping prevent unexpected shutdowns.
• Grid Restoration: Once grid power returns, the system resumes normal operation and manages battery recharging.

5. Expected Benefits

The proposed energy storage solution offers several operational advantages to Tathastu BIM Pvt. Ltd.

• Reduced Downtime: Helps prevent interruptions to ongoing architectural and BIM design work.
• Protection Against Unexpected Shutdowns: Maintains power to connected computer systems during grid outages.
• Improved Productivity: Reduces the risk of losing valuable working time due to system restarts.
• Reliable Backup: Provides a dedicated battery energy storage solution for essential office operations.
• Future Flexibility: The 15 kW inverter provides additional capacity headroom over the current approximately 12 kW office load, subject to load compatibility.

6. Conclusion

For an architectural BIM services company, uninterrupted power is essential to maintaining productivity and ensuring smooth project execution.

Powerstorm Technology Pvt. Ltd. proposed a 15 kW Hybrid Inverter integrated with a 30 kWh Battery Energy Storage System to address Tathastu BIM Pvt. Ltd.'s power interruption challenges.

This solution is intended to minimize operational downtime, maintain continuity of critical computer systems, and provide reliable backup power for demanding office applications.
