Musashi’s ESS400 System Provides Energy Storage and Peak Load Support for Essential Healthcare Electrical Systems, Offering a Safer, More Reliable Alternative to Traditional Batteries
BATTLE CREEK, Mich. – Febrauary 25, 2025 – Musashi Energy Solutions (MES), a leading developer of Hybrid SuperCapacitor (HSC)-based power management and energy storage that provides backup power for essential electrical systems and high-value medical equipment in healthcare facilities, will showcase its innovative ESS400 backup system during the ASHE PDC Summit at booth 1337, March 9-12, 2025, in Atlanta. The annual event is sponsored by the American Society for Healthcare Engineering (ASHE).
Why this is important:
MES’s innovative Hybrid SuperCapacitor-based backup system (ESS400), paired with three-phase uninterruptible power systems (UPSs), reduces fire risk and replaces space- and maintenance-intensive batteries or flywheel systems. The ESS400 substantially lowers costs while supporting essential electrical systems and high-value medical equipment. The UL-listed ESS400 has a 15 to 20-year/100,000-plus cycle lifespan aligned with UPS and electrical infrastructure, eliminating the need to replace the energy storage system over the operating lifespan of the facility.
Medical imaging equipment, such as CT scanners and MRIs, require peak power during scans, with newer devices demanding even higher peak levels. The ESS400 system delivers the necessary peak power, providing reliable performance over hundreds of thousands of cycles over its lifetime.
Healthcare facility designers and operators will especially appreciate the many technical advantages, including:
- Compatibility with NFPA99-Compliant stand-by generators ensuring reliable transition with no disruption during the 10-second generator start sequence.
- Paired with a 3-phase UPS, the ESS400 provides reliable operation, reduced fire risk, lower maintenance, and maximum operational lifecycle of the facility’s essential energy systems.
- The ESS400 replaces chemical batteries & flywheel energy systems, reducing capital and operating costs, operating cost, maintenance, footprint and weight.
“More than ever before, healthcare facility managers are concerned with safety, energy efficiency, sustainability and reliability,” explained Frank DeLattre, President – Americas of Musashi Energy Solutions. “Our highly reliable systems provide healthcare facilities with a safe, energy-efficient solution that protects vital equipment and data, helping facilities decrease energy costs and reduce their carbon footprint. Moreover, the ESS400 systems eliminate the need for costly cooling and maintenance and take up a fraction of the space compared to banks of backup batteries or flywheels, delivering a more efficient solution for space-constrained healthcare environments.”
The PDC Summit is one of the nation’s premier events focused on innovation in the field of healthcare design and construction, and it is complete with an exhibition that gathers the industry’s leading solution providers. ASHE joins a coalition of supporting organizations dedicated to optimizing the healthcare physical environment to present at this year’s event.
