COVID-19: Threat or Opportunity

“The world has been confronted in recent months with unprecedented challenges; the COVID-19 pandemic which has massively affected societies and global economies is testing the resilience of our organizations and giving us some lessons for the future. ‘to come up.

There is no doubt that this pandemic has tested everyone, including our own organisations, both during the pandemic and afterwards, often revealing weak resilience.

It is in these moments that the meaning of partnership takes on its full meaning. Rentaload, in collaboration with its main partners, has been able in this period to find completely new and unexpected ideas and projects to strengthen its resilience in times of crisis.

As part of this teamwork, we validated a co-investment in a fleet of new next-generation 600 kW load banks with H&N Energien, increasing our fleet by 4 MW . We also carried out a fully successful commissioning of a new Data Center in Slough in the United Kingdom (4.5 MW) with real-time 3D modeling of the rooms tested with software from our partner EkkoSense.

One of the other challenges we face today is the number of people allowed on site compared to the security restrictions currently in place. In response to this new environment, we have over the past 8 weeks upgraded our entire existing fleet to a fully connected solution . We are now able to connect our load banks to the ground up to a total power of 10 MW and up to 3 MW with our rackable banks. Thus this technical solution configuration can be managed by a single person throughout the duration of the IST Commissioning tests.

We are aware that there are still many challenges to overcome to overcome this pandemic and the economic crisis that is looming, but we are convinced that our vision and our new generation of connected load banks are relevant solutions in this new environment.

We will continue our efforts in this direction and look forward to creating new opportunities with our partners and customers.

Keep taking care of yourself!”
