Optimized Power Panel solutions for Data Centers

[Omaelk]

Our Innovation Talk Optimized power panel solutions for Data Centers webinar on May 20th showed you how pre-engineered, standardized power panel solutions can help data centers quickly meet increasing demands: 

•   Data centers are adapting to new challenges and trends
•   To design more efficient power panel solutions for data centers
•   To offer optimized solutions through our EcoStruxture Power Solutions

Question asked by Alvin Demonteverde:

Do you have an idea for typical area size requirements for this hyper scale data center?

[Meysenc]

Answer to Alvin Demonteverde:

Generally, we talk about hyper scale data center when there are several IT rooms supplied by different medium voltage feeders. It starts from about 5 MW IT up to several hundreds MW IT

Question asked by Faiz:

Can we say the Power Train is the same as E-House that we normally use in Oil & Gas applications?

Could you please show pictures of typical a Power Train, particularly the interconnection between MV to Transformer and Transformer to LV...Thanks

[Meysenc]

Answer to Faiz:

A complete power train can be integrated in a container, using same technology as e-house. However, the difference between a data center and a O&G plant for instance, is that for data center, the same e-house will be used many times while an O&G plant is made a many different e-houses connected to each other.

Consequently from engineering and manufacturing stand point it is different. For Data center there is: 

     - less engineering using SE pre-engineered solution

     - Repetitve production of the same solution

Question asked by Fahad:

Do you have any Solar PV systems integrated /options with this Power Trains?

Which IEC standards prescribe this solutions?

[Meysenc]

Answer to Fahad:

Integration of solar panels is getting more and more attention now. There are many different ways to integrate solar panels:

     - At medium voltage level for large scale integration

     - In parallel of each MV/LV transformer on the LV side

Each solution might be specific and today we do not have a pre-engineering solution since it depends a lot on the amont of solar panel to be integrated which is a case by case decision.
