High-capacity portable battery system 'HPP-2000/HBB-1000'

The portable power HPP-2000 can issue certificates related to the Small and Medium-Sized Enterprise Management Strengthening Act. When turning on a copier or printer, or when waking it from standby mode, inrush current occurs. Inrush current refers to a large current that flows momentarily, typically several times to more than ten times the normal current. In the case of printers, inrush current may also occur during printing. When inrush current occurs, the power supply voltage fluctuates and becomes unstable, affecting PCs and network devices connected to the same circuit breaker. In the case of tenant buildings, the amount of available electrical power is almost determined by the area of the rented space, so caution is necessary. After executing print processing, if the server suddenly stops, attention must be paid to the circuit breaker installed in the DX environment.

The off-grid power personal energy portable power HPP-2000 has received an Encouragement Award in the "Disaster Prevention Product Category" of the "Disaster Prevention and Pandemic Prevention Product Awards (R) 2021," organized by the Japan Disaster Prevention and Safety Association, for its portability and multifunctionality. Off-grid refers to a power system that has its own generation source, rectifier, storage battery, charger, inverter, transformer, and transmission capabilities, independent of the public power grid. Because it does not rely on the public power grid, it is less susceptible to the impacts of disasters and accidents. Traditionally, it has been used in locations where public electricity is unavailable, such as mountainous areas, bridges, and ports, and in recent years, its use has expanded to high-latitude data centers of major IT companies. Off-grid systems actively utilize renewable energy to generate energy on-site, minimizing dependence on external energy supplies. Off-grid systems are resilient to disasters and can be considered sustainable energy systems with low CO2 emissions.

Recently, the report from the "Study Group on the Function of Examination and Payment" held by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare stated that "in the context of advancing digitalization across society, it is necessary to create an environment where medical institutions and insurers can promote online initiatives without confusion in order to improve the efficiency of medical insurance administration as a whole." Currently, the digital transformation (DX) and digitalization of healthcare are progressing rapidly. It goes without saying that stable power supply is essential for the information and electronic devices that support digitalization. However, in recent years, power outages and voltage fluctuations due to frequent natural disasters have become a persistent issue. The recovery time from power outages has increased compared to traditional outages, and the number of outages lasting more than five minutes has been on the rise year by year. In preparation for long power outages of more than five minutes, which frequently lead to power restoration accidents, there is a need for off-grid power sources that can protect medical information systems from power outages and ensure stable operation even when the power supply from utility companies is cut off. Against this backdrop, our company will begin selling off-grid power sources designed to protect medical information systems from power supply risks due to the DX and digitalization of healthcare starting October 1. *Off-grid is a registered trademark of Keikou Communication Technology Co., Ltd.
