Mission Critical West, Inc.




Experts in Power Quality / UPS / Power Protection
Power outages and poor power quality cost the US economy alone some $119 Billion (ref: EPRI) annually. Over $12 Billion is spent on power protection worldwide, with over $7 Billion on UPS systems (Uninterruptible Power Supply systems) alone, to mitigate these losses. Power quality consultants are almost mandatory in today's dynamic world of mission critical electric power. With the wide raft of emerging power technologies, choosing the wrong one can be disastrous. MC West, world renowned experts in this field, can help guide you through the minefield.
Power quality consulting is truly a high impact profession, with clients seeking 100% availability 7 x 24. The cost of downtime from a single outage can run in the millions of dollars, and may even result in lives lost. A qualified power quality consultant must therefore be highly experienced in construction, vendor analysis, electrical engineering, reliability engineering, project management, predictive maintenance, emerging technologies such as flywheels and new generation battery systems, and real world ROI (Return On Investment) determinations. Few in fact actually are. That power quality consultant must then be able to apply the right technology for the application at hand, and do it in a way that does not put the client at risk. Mission Critical West's power quality consultants have done exactly that for over 25 years. Our principals have direct experience in critical infrastructure design & application engineering, but just as importantly have direct experience with manufacturers of UPS systems, battery systems and flywheel systems , often and uniquely helping them design & service the products themselves. In fact, we often train large A&E firm power engineering personnel in the latest offerings in emerging technology & critical facilities infrastructure equipment.
