Power Delivery Technology and Testing

Objective

Scope: Data center owners seeking to manage risks in the application of advanced technology for reliable power delivery within the data center facility. Evaluate power delivery technology, applications and testing, to ensure power quality and reliability of data center loads.

Approach

• Implemented a comprehensive program beginning with risk assessments of technology and supply chain for global deployment:
  • Circuit breakers, medium-voltage switchgear, and transformers.
  • Renewable energy integration, including energy storage system, PV, and power conversion systems.

• Developed requirements and specifications for key technical elements:
  • Microgrid controller, storage, and inverter.
  • Testing and commissioning requirements.

• Conducted laboratory testing during conceptual design and pre-commissioning for thorough performance validation.
  • Developed and implemented digital substations for advanced feeder redundancy automation.
  • Performed pre-commissioning tests of protection and controls.

Results

• Meet stringent reliability requirements: Designed systems to meet rigorous standards for reliability, ensuring continuous and uninterrupted power supply.
• Deliver clean and reliable power: Ensured the provision of sustainable and dependable energy to a large data center facility.
• Design modular and scalable systems: Developed designs that are both modular and scalable, allowing for rapid, efficient, and global deployment.
