According to a case study on the FacilitiesNet.com website, Bryan Medical Center’s East Campus in Lincoln, Neb., needed to simplify its emergency power testing procedures and produce automated Joint Commission-quality reports more efficiently.
The hospital has a 4,000 kW emergency power system that supports nearly all operations spanning the center’s 1.075 million square feet of floor space. The campus includes a 382-bed hospital and five other facilities, including an office building, obstetrics tower, and a 700-student college.
To meet its power testing and reporting needs, the hospital uses Emerson Network Power’s ASCO PowerQuest power monitoring and control system to instantly gather, process, analyze, and act on the huge volumes and velocity of data that the medical center’s critical power management system (CPMS) generates, including the center’s 37 ASCO automatic transfer switches, according to the article. The ASCO power monitoring and control system enables the center to test its entire, decentralized six gen-set emergency power system from a single computer screen.
