DATA CENTER POWER DISTRIBUTION

摘要

A data center power distribution system is disclosed. Utility power normally supports the devices (load) in the data center, but when utility power fails, backup energy from a generator and/or flywheel smooths out the supply. Each utility main/backup combination feeds one or more breakers, and each breaker supplies power to two or more servers, where each server receives redundant power input from to such breaker paths. In some embodiments, synchronization buses are absent between the breaker and the server. Redundant and well valved plumbing leads chilled supply water from chiller plants to air handlers (in some embodiments, through an isolation manifold) and back while enabling isolation of leaks and equipment failures. A special air handler design contains water and efficiently moves cooled air into the operational space of the data center.

主权项

1. A computing facility power distribution system, comprising:
a first power path and a second power path, each comprising a main power delivery gear, a circuit breaker, an automatic transfer switch (ATS), a gen-set, and a member uninterruptible power supply (UPS), wherein:
the main power delivery gear provides power through the circuit breaker to a first input of the ATS;the gen-set has an output that provides power to a second input of the ATS;the ATS provides power to the UPS;none of the power traveling through the first power path travels through the second power path; andnone of the power traveling through the second power path travels through the first power path; and a first load device that receives power from both the UPS in the first power path and the UPS in the second power path.
