Sentinel Data Centers Completes North Carolina’s First Dedicated Substation for Multi-Tenant Facility
New substation enables best-in-class reliability & flexible “infrastructure-light” power solutions for Sentinel’s NC-1 customers.
Sentinel Data Centers has it has brought online North Carolina’s first dedicated transmission voltage substation for use by a multi-tenant data center. Engineered and constructed similarly to Sentinel’s NJ-1 69kV substation in the NY/NJ region, Sentinel NC-1’s 100kV substation can support up to 50MW of capacity in a 2N configuration, with redundant service via separate feeds from diverse 230kV utility switching stations.
The new substation also enables Sentinel’s Transmission+ product set, a lower-cost, “infrastructure-light” solution that leverages transmission-quality utility distribution to provide high availability levels using less infrastructure and at a lower cost. Transmission+ load blocks can be deployed granularly allowing Sentinel’s end-users to match cost structures with resiliency requirements on a workload by workload basis.
