| Designing resilience into secure power systems Business continuity plans include an ever increasing reliance on secure power systems. Whilst the mean time between failure (MTBF) of uninterruptible power supplies continues to rise above 100,000 hours, more can be done at the design stage to increase their overall resilience and availability. The commissioning of a secure power system may only require the pressing of a few keypad pushbuttons. However, the long-term resilience of the system requires a sound electrical engineering approach at the design, planning, installation and maintenance stages. Through this the overall reliability and MTBF of the entire power system can be increased to meet the requirements of the most stringent business continuity plans.
