Tier 1-4: Increasing secure 24/7 operation in data centres

Certified power quality monitoring and fire protection enhancement

Preamble

The volume of digital data continues to increase rapidly and steadily. Not least caused by cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin (XBT), Ether (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), etc. or, for example, by the blockchain process, a quasi-type database that works on various networked servers. The increasing demand for data exchange also increases the need for data centres, which are planned, built and maintained on a large scale globally. However, data centres in the electrical energy context are subject to complex challenges that can influence (legally) secure 24/ operation.

The basic requirements

When planning the energy supply of a data centre, many demands must be taken into account:

  • Secure location in terms of energy supply and environmental conditions
  • High energy efficiency to minimise operating costs
  • Maximum availability (Uptime Insitute Tier 1-4) through use of redundancies, e.g. UPS, generators
  • High security (fire protection, access, defence against cyber attacks)
  • System stability and reliability of the operating resources used
  • Scalability

The problem description

Various studies show that power quality problems cost billions each year. Read more

System for power quality, energy management and pump automation

Actual situation

In a large urban city, the technology for supplying fresh water is getting old. Although the pumping stations and the infrastructure are in good condition, the maintenance and repair costs are continuously and extremely increasing. Electrical monitoring of the entire system is only available to a limited extent, and if so, only partially. Read more

PQ Easy Report – Conformity reports at the touch of a button

 

With the “PQ-Easy Report”, statistical reports can be generated directly from the measuring instrument, either according to standard or also user-specific. And this completely autonomously and detached from proprietary software solutions that make life difficult for many users as well as the IT department.
