Uninterrupted power supply with IoT power management technology

For hospitals dealing with life and death, establishing a safe and efficient energy supply system is essential.

Catholic University Eunpyeong St. Mary's Hospital announced on the 10th that it has implemented Schneider Electric's integrated intelligent management solution for smart healthcare.

Eunpyeong St. Mary's Hospital, which opened in April of this year, is a 17-story above-ground and 7-story underground facility with 808 beds. It is the eighth affiliated hospital operated by the Catholic University of Korea and the first university hospital-level hospital in the northwestern region of Seoul.

Eunpyeong St. Mary's Hospital is a smart hospital that has introduced big data and AI technology based on a massive medical network. It was the first university hospital in Korea to receive Grade 1 in building energy efficiency and also obtained an excellent grade in green building certification.

To secure a stable energy supply base and maximize operational efficiency, Eunpyeong St. Mary's Hospital adopted Schneider Electric's intelligent integrated power management solution, 'EcoStruxure Power'.


In particular, EcoStruxure Power SCADA Operation (PSO) software optimizes the uptime of high-power operating facilities, such as those in hospitals, industrial sites, data centers, and airports. It also integrates data collected from devices to provide real-time situational awareness.

This was introduced for the purpose of detecting abnormal conditions signifying safety or operational risks, and protects patient safety during operation by detecting circuit insulation defects in places where safety must be essential, such as hospital operating rooms.

In addition, power quality and power factor improvement products were introduced to ensure stable power supply, such as the harmonic filter 'Accusine PCS+', automatic power factor adjustment solutions, and power meters. Schneider Electric MCCB circuit breakers, an HMI for monitoring them, and protective relays were also installed.

Kim Jin-seon, Head of Division at Schneider Electric, stated, “For smart hospitals, it is essential to build solutions that can maximize power stability and efficiency to ensure patient safety and realize green healthcare,” adding, “Schneider Electric will continue to cooperate with Eunpyeong St. Mary’s Hospital to build a future medical environment for the Healthcare 3.0 era.”
