In the past, site selection criteria was based on 15 acres or so with about 40 MW per site. The new criteria are based around 200-plus acres and 150 MW per site.
Mission critical data center operations typically require significant amounts of water and energy for cooling, and hyperscale server rack power density is expected to double as soon as 2023.
The generator sets are based on mtu 20-V 4000 L64 FNER gas engines, which fulfil the strictest emissions standards, allow for quick ramp-up and ramp-down, offer a wide range of load operations, and high performance at high temperatures.
Data centers fail on a regular basis. Fortunately, built-in redundancy, extensive commissioning, and startup staff training means operations are not interrupted as frequently.
Traditionally the commissioning process is presented as finite, defining beginning and end milestones. In hyperscale data center construction, however, practicalities and customer culture dictate that the commissioning is instead a continuous process improvement undertaking.
While the PUE metric clearly defines the measurement process for facility efficiency (thanks to The Green Grid!), it represents only a portion of sustainability in the overall data center eco-structure.
